For now: was on my device already the newest version of Android installed ----> The device runs smoothly and has never crashed on me Do not be distracted by all the bad reviews, they were really almost all written before updating to 4.1.1. The tablet itself looks great and fits comfortably in your hand, it is also not too heavy, just ca.50gramm heavier than the I-Pad (although I must say that the A700 by design, makes a lot more here than I pad;)) To screen: It is bright and has strong colors, it's really fun once watching a Full HD screen, which is not 40zoll great;) (Look at YouTube Big Buck Bunny Full HD, that just looks great on this screen ) Battery: I can not compare with other tabs because the A700 is mine first, but what I've found so far: the tab stops on a single charge all day when the screen about 7stunden (Settings battery consumption) is at and otherwise ever in standby mode I find this battery values are impressive :) The sound: is Ok, but the stereo effect will truly over Praiseworthy: The micro SD slot, the reset button, the HDMI output, USB OTG adapter (radios with almost everything: USB flash drives, hard drives, keyboards, mice, PS3 controller, etc.) and the really good front camera For Android I do not say anything, I think the best mobile operating system and also on tablets fully successful For games and apps: almost everything except a few gameloftspielen and Amazonapp is compatible with the tab even graphics-consuming games like GTA VC and Max Payne run still liquid Since Android 4 or so no Flash Player is available? No problem invite him to you just in chip free download I hope I could help you with your purchase decision if you have any questions, you just write a comment, I will gladly answer;)
