Re: Android Tablets

Someone told me recently you can get one through Walmart for $69 using the internet shopping and have it shipped to a store.

Perhaps it was me?
Walmart: XELIO 7" Tablet With 4GB Memory, currently $44
I bought this, installed Google Play (get com.android.vending-4.1.6.apk).
Works fine. The screen resolution is not great, but great deal for $44.
No Work: Vibrate, compass
Works: GPS, WiFi, Accelerometer, everything else...

It's not iPhone quality. But it is better than $44 quality.
The biggest complaint is the screen and that the touch-pad registration is slightly off. You need to touch a bit higher than you expect. I guess I got used to that. Battery life seems OK. I can download files to it via USB, though I can't use it for Android development (driver issue.)

Walmart has smaller Android devices for $35. I'll evaluate one shortly. We are considering buying a bunch of them for a judge & RI app. Pls check it out at
