The look and feel are, always in relation to the price, completely satisfactory.
However, the screen overlay is already a number cheaper than a glass display. But somewhere must the comparatively low price ... yes, the display is one of those saving items. That being said, but it provides a sufficiently sharp and high-contrast display, the Touch commands are very well received.
Wi-Fi connection worked promptly and immediately, Range is good. The unit heats up initially, but will cool again with time. Battery life is low with WiFi enabled and the display, under two hours. For stationary use that does not matter.
The operating speed of the hardware is a little slow in comparison, for everyday use, as a nice accessory, perfectly fine.
I use the Eken M001 mainly as Internet radio and as Youtube player on my stereo. Here are two problems. First, it is difficult to find a reasonable app ever for an Internet radio. And second, the only useful output is a 3,5er headphone jack. It is of such poor quality that constantly dazwischenquietscht the internal mono speaker and -knarzt. So you should find a suitable position for the plug with a lot of feeling, otherwise there is constantly noise from the internal speaker. Or to solder the socket, and in turn a decent cable, so the device but no longer mobile. As Internet Radio Tuner recommended but.
The described first problem with the apps is actually the biggest drawback of this device. You get no access, as far as I've found out so far, the general Android App Market. Although it is a Market preinstalled, on which there are all sorts of apps, but they are usually poor quality, useless or very often Chinese. A remedy here SITE SlideMe.org that provides at least a few reasonable Apps.
Another problem is the Flash player. For Android-based devices such pages can not be displayed. Adobe is working well but now on a solution ... but that's not a problem of the device, but it generally relates to all devices that work with Android.
If you want to use the device according to his taste, you should already expect some learning curve. Therefore you collect compulsorily also some information from you did not know beforehand that it / something exists at all. An educational experience so.
Who is finally willing to invest time, will receive a device that makes him richer experiences and also opens up a lot of applications. You can retest at a relatively low price, if you need such a device, or whether it satisfies what one expects when buying.
For the price it's good, you should be inclined to compare the device with more expensive copies, you should also prefer to spend more money, because such a comparison holds the Eken in some areas did not stand.
Nevertheless, it can cause a lot of joy to that, who wants to spend less money and is just ready to deal with the machine a little.
