An Android tablet for under £65
Tuesday, October 30, 2012 at 3:50AM I have historically laughed at very cheap ANdroid tablets, but suspect we are reaching the point where devices like the KiDiGi 7 (KT-078G) are worth a go for children to use or for occasional use. Actually quite tempted.
Tablets allow us to do more when away from a desktop PC or laptop. They are portable and convenient.
When it is an Android tablet, is gives us even greater flexibility as it connects to all the Google services such as Gmail, YouTube and more that we find ourselves using on a daily basis.
With a 7 inch display, the Kidigi Android tablet gives you a larger diplay to interact with than a typical mobile phone, but smaller than the likes of a laptop or iPad, thus making it a very portable solution.
Depending on how demanding a user you are will depend on what features you require of your tablet. Whilst the KT-078G will serve most people well, it is aimed at those who want affordable mobile computing. If you want the very latest and cutting edge hardware this might not quite be the device for you. But do not write it off until you see what you get for your money.
Full Google services including the Play store with Google Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich). Running one of the latest versions of the OS, this tablet is more up to date than the majority of smartphones and tablets on the market. Full access to the Play store allows you to connect with over 500,000 apps, books, movies and more.
Connect to the internet through in built WiFi. There is no 3G on board, but WiFi to the n standard means you can be assured of fast connection speeds.

At that price I suspect it has a TN display with terrible viewing angles. That's a deal-breaker for any tablet; I think even a child would hate using it.
2 hour battery life, loads of problems too.
There are other Android tablets which cost about the same but with better specs. I saw one where the reviewers said they could get about 5-6 hours battery life with WiFi on. It's a pretty low risk investment: costs me more to fill up my car.
There used to be (and maybe its still going) a challenge to create a below $100 PC for distribution and use in developing countries.
Maybe tablet based computing and OS is a way to achieve that. At least it would stand a better chance than desktop/laptop technologies.
