Sylvania 7" Tablet

Thanks, buddy. I see an android tablet ing future with a keyboard case similiar to yours...

HG

I found out today that Digital Gadgets released the Froyo update for my tablet!!! WOW what a difference...it is so much faster. More updates later.

Okay, in case anyone wanted to know. This update improved boot time (25 seconds), screen responsiveness, battery life (Over 6 hrs with wifi on the whole time), now there is a slide to unlock and turn off, the speed has increased for opening applications. Still no official market, however, I have found everything I need on the Amazon Market and Slide Me Market.

Yoldering, I have a question about the update-does it come only through the tablet itself, meaning no download on the site for installing from a memory card?

Yes, only through the tablet's update...

We came to the coast this weekend for a 4 day vacation and decided to only bring this little tablet. It has worked pretty well accept my wife stole it for the last two hours...I knew I should have brought her laptop. It has been on most of the day without being plugged in and still has over 20% left. Also, I am very happy I have this little keyboard case. It is really handy.

Lol, guess that 60 USD$ difference between that Sylvania netbook and the Sylvania tablet is mainly the battery life, as I barely get two hours out of the netbook lol. I do wish I had not gotten it, lol, but I guess it's okay. I guess the MobilePro has me loving the stylus thing+the better keyboard more. Though I guess if I never got that netbook, I may not've came back to CE, so who knows ?

Anyway, Yoldering thanks for the info on the system update via the in tablet. I guess I'm old school where I want the OS image backed up and not having to rely on a server that could be taken down--which as we know..happens..

My wife ended up nabbing a dell streak 7 from staples for my birthday a little early because they had a coupon for $100 off so it ended up being $198.99, and man what a difference between the cheapo android stuff I've been using.

Hey Tak, today the Amazon App Store has a free handwriting app that seems to work decently with a stylus.

Ah thanks for the heads up. Although Amazon has not added support for Canada yet, so I am only considering tablets if they have official Android Marketplace.

I was only curious about the writing apps though. I have already finished school so I don't really need a notetaker anymore. Still, I had been reading reviews on the HTC Flyer and Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet, both use an "Ntrig" stylus and have built-in notetaking app. If I was still in school though, I might still stick with a Tablet PC until these Android notetaking apps get to the same level of features.

For anyone who wants it, the Amazon App Store is offering Quickoffice Pro as their free app of the day today!!! It is a great office program and it is free!
