Superpad 10.2" Tablet PC, Google Android 2.1, Webcam, GPS, HDMI, USB, WIFI, 2 micro SD card slots We have a long way to go....., I purchased this device and feel a little mis-lead. Although if you look at the specs it does NOT say "MULTI-TOUCH" but read the description it says Android 2.1 (which this unit has) allows multi-touch... Well.. yes Android 2.1 does "allow" for it... but the device also needs to "support" it, which this device does NOT... Unfortunately multi-touch is HUGE when it comes to the benifit of these devices. Without it you can not zoom in and out easily (you have to use the +/- zoom to do that... just does not work smoothly. I would say NOOOO comparison to the I-PAD.. The I-PAD multi-touch is sooo smooth and the screen is super clear. This machine the touch is ... ok (not great) and the screen is readable... but not great. GPS... ha... well yes it has a "connector" and an external antenna/receiver... not very usable for the portable market... I have an Android phone that has GREAT GPS in a much smaller size than this thing... they couldn't fit it in ??? come on .. Charging.... uuuuugh... come on USB charging has been around forEVER guys.... this propriotary charger is horrible.. Didn't notice this at first ..but NO BLUETOOTH either.... The ports are great.. haven't tried them all yet but the ethernet works, microSD and usb works for thumbdrive, mouse and keyboard. DON'T BOTHER IF YOU NEED: - A Crystal clear screen - Multi-touch - GPS built in (don't want to carry a receiver around) - Super sensitive touch response - 3G via SIM card - A standard usb charger - A bluetooth option - A Netflix app (in progress though I hear) GREAT IF YOU NEED: - Extra storage / removable storage - Multiple Internet conn. options (wifi,ethernet,3G via modem) - To check email - To test / play with apps - A cheap Internet Tablet for kitchen/kids - To plug in mouse/keyboard NOTE: works very well with mouse and keyboard (just wish it was bluetooth. I even used a wireless dongle for a wireless keyboard and mouse.. Worked GREAT. The unit is much better than other Android Tabs I have seen... but I think there are better yet to come especially with Android 3.0 release From: amazon.com
