The Sylvania Android Tablet has been out in the market and has made waves. People have been talking about it, discussing its pros and cons. It is very inexpensive (less than $200) and is durable. It is a given that the Apple iPad is a giant in the tablet market nowadays; however not everyone is willing to spend at least $499 on a single device which other products can match in terms of efficiency and usage.
Do not be fooled by some reviews which criticize the Sylvania Android Tablet terribly. More and more reviews have been written which will vouch for this tablet and these buyers are very happy with their purchase. One author complained that this tablet simply does not have access to the App store or the Android market; however the buyer can install the Google Android Market to solve this problem immediately. Buyers have very much appreciated the 2 USB ports in this device making it extremely convenient to use. Uploading and/or downloading data is no longer dependent on a personal computer and can be done with the device alone. Speakers can be connected as well. A mouse and a keyboard may also be plugged in for extra convenience in using this tablet.
Some complain about the memory space as the internal memory is 4GB but half of this memory is dedicated to system software and integral functions and applications. If only 2GB is used for the tablet’s entire usage, some applications may crash. However the saving factor of this tablet is the manufacturing of the 2 memory slots for 2 micro SD cards which assist in the storage facility of the device. The user may choose to store his/her applications in the external memory card for a faster tablet experience.
Another complaint is this tablet’s need for a stylus. Indeed, a stylus is provided for easier operation of the Sylvania Android Tablet but this does not mean that it would not function without a stylus. This tablet has a resistive touch screen like many other devices like other smart phones and tablets. It means that the user must press down the device or use his/her fingernail to access commands. This particular complaint is a direct contrasting of the Sylvania Android Tablet against the iPad. The user must understand that if he/she bought a tablet other than an iPad, the tablet that he/she bought should not be directly compared to the apple device and differences are present for the user’s specific preference.
The battery life of the Sylvania Android Tablet lasts from 5 to 6 hours. It may not be exceptional, but it is good enough. Aside from the complaints abovementioned, users have praised Sylvania for creating a product which is affordable and will give everyone the access to an android tablet experience of browsing the internet, playing games, contacting friends through social networks, watching movies anywhere, anytime. This handheld tablet is best for travelling, business, school and any other function which requires the user to be mobile and on the go. Quality performance for a much lower price? You can’t go wrong with a Sylvania Android Tablet.
