Cool Design and gadgets Lastest news*: After receiving this panDigital Tablet I used it for two days

After receiving this panDigital Tablet I used it for two days. Was not pleased with it because it was slow on my High Speed Internet. Not much memory, no flash (no video). I sent it back for a refund. I am going to pick up a PanDigital Nova tomorrow for my bday. (my wife is going to let me). If you don't mind spending about $80 more I would recommend getting a Nova. Some of the advantage's are: Netflix, Skype, YouTube, processors, memory, speed.
I also looked at the fly Touch 10", but there were a lot of bad reviews on it. The Nova also had some bad reviews that is why I am going to go to Best Buy and look at one first before I buy one.
I will say if you are just looking for a low cost eReader this one is OK. Better price then the Nook and Kindle with colour to boot.
I did call the tech support and the tech was very helpful, and after talking for awhile, He was the one who recommended the Nova, when I asked about video. (Flash support). Nova has it this one don't. Also the Nova has a faster processor and more memory. Well worth the extra $$$. Amazon also has the Nova listed, and will be ready for shipment Aug. 24th. The price was just a little higher then Best Buy, but I expect it to come down after it is out awhile. One last thing, This one had Android 2.0, the Nova is up to 2.3.
Hope this review helps you out.I am loving my PanDigital Remanufactured unit. I originally bought this with another eReader (around $120) in order to compare them side-by-side. I am an educator and need some web-enabled devices for the classroom that's portable and easy to use. An android wifi tablet is the perfect solution.

Here's why I am keeping the PanDigital:
1. I like the look of the white frame around the pandigital.
2. The remanfactured unit is already upgraded to the Android 2.0 OS.
3. The resistive touchscreen is responsive to both my touch and a rubber-tip stylus.
4. And the battery life is great: when I'm not using it, it is not consuming any power and the wifi automatically shuts off in sleep mode.
5. The time to recharge back to full from 55% is relatively quick, just a couple of hours if memory serves my well.

Things that could be better:
1. Oh it would be wonderful if it was running Android 2.2 and then I can fully interact with flash websites. But this is a low cost alternative to the latest and greatest Android device.
2. I was able to download the Amazon Appstore (for the free apps of course) but as of yet I have been unsuccessful in finding ones that will download and install. I ended up going to a 3rd party website to get the Kindle app that would download and install.
3. And I wish it came with it's own carrying case or sleeve as the other eReader I purchased(and returned) did. Otherwise
