The title is, of course, first irritating, because you can not compare with the iPad, a 7 "device, I'm doing it but still :-)
Immediately after opening the carton Amazon has you having bought an Apple device your impression of the box is just made as of the Ipad.
Barely unpacked, to a high-quality tablet, which is very reminiscent of the iPad, machined aluminum aluminum, connections processed very clean and classy provided with laser marking Displays. Only the two black plastic covers and of course the size reveal that it comes from other home.
It is very comfortable to hold.
The delivery is just a quick start guide and a power adapter, a USB adapter, no HDMI adapter.
Connections has the following:
-Micro HDMI
-USB (Can also directly from storage media read)
-Internal SIM card holder
-SD Card
For charging socket -DC
General (Android vs. iOS) ########################################### ##############
Compared to IOS I find in Android after the first start (cold start takes about 40-60Sekunden) on which it can be used directly without iTunes. (Update, now also in Ipad2 without PC & Itunes usable)
I have not only an annoying software on my PC to utilize the product.
The Android Market is also accessible quickly and without data collection, only one e-mail address must be set up on Google. To this end, no address information or otherwise is necessary. For IOS I had to give my address.
Programs neudeutsch Apps are easy to install quickly find and are available in a huge selection.
Touchscreen / battery life ############################################### #############
Operation is simple, in terms of recruitment, etc. a bit more complicated than IOS. Generally, hardly a time to accustomed to anything new is needed.
It should be read again and again to problems of individual buyers with the touch screen. This problem, I did not, no, on the contrary, the screen responds to me excellent, tested in every nook and corner areas with the touchscreen app.
The tablet responds quickly and the touchscreen works in the "low" resolution of 1076x600 excellent, I allow even promises that he is the Ipad 1 equal to me, because I can directly compare.
Typing on the keyboard is fast and easy.
In the extremely high resolution of 1280x800 appear in the current firmware nor the touch target areas for icons to be programmed too small, so that there may be problems here, if you do not meet exactly the symbols. Presumably here with Firmware Updates nachgeholfen shortly.
The image quality of the display is excellent, I recommend to activate the automatic brightness control.
The battery life of the wireless operation between 5-6Stunden in UMTS depending on network coverage less.
The device is in operation warmer than the iPad, but keeps still in the frame.
The unit has of course also able / acceleration sensors installed, which work precisely.
Camera ################################################# ######
The camera has 5MP and autofocus, but the quality is below average as indoors, lower midfield when shooting outdoors.
Other:
It was nice that you can use storage media via USB directly on the MediaPad, so can be fast times, the holiday pictures Survey on the Mediapad, which is really meant for excellent due to the high resolution.
The internal memory has failed rather low than generous with 8GB, which can however be easily expanded using micro SD card

Negatives:

Although camera has 5MP and autofocus, but rather modest quality
Conclusion: Very great device with fast operating system excellent finishing and excellent display 4 stars because it is a little warmer than other devices in operation.
