The Odys Space is my first tablet PC and my first Android device. So I was on the one hand eager to see how much can inspire me to deal with this kind of hardware and how I can cope with Android. Daheim is a Fritz box 7270 and a computer with Windows Vista 64 bit.
The unit fits comfortably in your hand, looks nice and high quality. An ordered SanDisk Micro SDHC 32GB can be installed easily and is detected immediately. Similarly, the SIM card of E-Plus from my phone. As pocket I have the envelope of Avery bought Case Logic LAPST107K 17.8 cm (7.0 inch) tablet / eBook reader ... ", that is simply perfect for Space and fits perfectly. Feel and operation of the Space I like. It works quickly and is for my purposes as surfing, inform, listen to music, reading books etc. fast enough. Large, processor-intensive things are in my hand, eh done via the PC and does not have the space.
The installation at the Fritz box is easy and takes less than 2 minutes. We have a house with a basement and first floor, and everywhere I have enough reception via WLAN. Operation of the Space is simple, intuitive and mostly I find my way quickly. On the homepage of Odys Tips for downloading and using this means of access is installed quickly to the Internet via the e-plus SIM card and works right away. The Market - I knew not to date -.. Can make a shortcut to the applications' easily as an icon visible and I work almost exclusively so that the apps can be downloaded fine and install prerequisite is of course that you at a Google ( Free) has opened account and I had 2 years ago set up times -. but so far never used Some apps can not be installed because the Odys supposedly not to be compatible Here I go before manually Seeking the app via Google as apk.. "and download it (eg maps.apk or google maps.apk in the case of Google Maps), save it to the SD card and call it up via the ES File Explorer of Odys. The installtion routine starts and a few seconds later, the app be started. So far, all incompatible "apps were installed without any problems and they work.
What I like?
I like the voice control, the possibility of the Odys to use as navigation, to watch movies (works perfectly with the recommended by Odys BSPlayer lite - here even original recordings my Dreambox in TS format) my Outlook calendar from PC to tablet to sync iseren, mails to retrieve a client to play games, to watch TV, such as via Zattoo to work with Office documents, to make phone calls, fast times are writing an SMS, listen to SWR3 and EinsLive to read my eBooks from Amazon and so much more.
The fun factor is from morning to night really big: my kiddies watching either their Walt Disney movies or play Angy Bird, my wife reads books and listens to this radio or surfing in Facebook or Youtube around, I call ebenmal Tagesschau on, reading newspapers or going comunio on and make a few transfers and then I call from tomorrow's weather.
After less than one week, it is clear that my wife gets the Space Odys paid and I have just ordered another for myself! I will then take to the office with the work, because I can think of a thousand things, where it will make my job easier. As SDHC card I will tentatively use fast Verbatim with class 10. Let's see if the faster card will make itself felt.
What else can I suggest?
A Task Killer makes sense. Here, the supplied ES Task Manager extends "from one installs it as a widget, then he concludes -. Plain icon press -.. Positively noticeable in films open tasks, thus making storage free power with me, which would otherwise run out of round but how easy told I look so original not convert files that I recorded on my satellite receiver. And Brillenputztücher for display. But that's clear anyway, right?
What is allowed in principle, be expected?
An apparently sophisticated device on a stable Android 2.2, for there are thousands of apps. I suspect that you will have fun because 2 years, then you have to look, what made the technical development of news and has been declared in the meantime to the standard. Power users should choose faster Tablets, occasional users will make a good choice, because in the end the investment factor is comparatively low.
I give 5 stars for the price / performance ratio, 5 stars for the sophisticated technology, 4 stars for the plastic casing on the back, 4 stars for speed, 4 stars for the good graphics, 3 stars for the incompatibility with some apps, 4 stars for the sound quality - making an average of slightly more than 4 stars for the overall package.
