So today I had one of these delivered. The idea was that it was to replace a very limited Kindle Fire. The specs looked good and as it was OCUK selling it as "one of their own" I place some faith in the product being half decent.
After un packaging the tablet from the couriers box the first thing I noticed was the tablets actual packaging was not sealed and looked like it had been forced shut. "Not to worry" I thought as I took the tablet out of the box to find the screens protective cover was all scuffed and folded. At this point alarm bells starting ringing. I took the cover off to find the tablet definitely had the tell tale signs of use with finger prints and marks all over the screen. The accessories that came in the box also look like they had been taken out and used then put back in.....
So after a bit of a clean I plugged the tablet in and powered it on. There was no "setup" wizard, I just got dumped to the android start screen after a bit of Icecreamsammich loading. The first thing I did was to download the BBCI Player app which wouldn't not work in the sense that I had audio but no video. This was the same for the Tvcatchup app. Reinstallation of the browser, flash and the apps themselves made no difference. The wireless also seems to keep dropping the connection whenever it fancies and the battery lasted about 2 hours on its first charge.
So....has anybody else had any positive experiences with these tablets? Do I have a duffer that's been sent out and resold? Any advice with the iplayer problem?
