I just got this on Saturday (a belated birthday present to myself).
I didn't want an expensive tablet, just something to read on, play a few games, view documents and maybe watch a conveted movie.
It has Android 2.2.3 on it.
I had an SD card (8Gb) that had some items all ready on it because when we changed computers at work, I put some items on it so I wouldn't lose them. Music and some personal documents. These work on this Cruz. I was glad I had that card so I could see how it worked. Some didn't work and I'm not sure why, it could have been the document or the way it was saved, because I could open .doc and .docx and .pdf documents. No problem.
My T301 came with flash and plays .MP4 movies I converted. There were some TV shows I converted (with DVDCatalyst) for my Droid 1 phone and I moved them to my SDCard and it played them fine. I wish the speakers were better, but it's just a tablet, not a sound system. There was also an .MP4 movie I converted for my netbook that I moved on my Cruz to give it a try and it worked fine. The box says that a lot of different video conversion work, but if .MP4 works, that's great.
I went to Mcdonald's for the free WiFi (closest to my house) and got my Kindle books on there. Kindle was pre-installed. I can read them easily on this tablet. I was using my phone, but every 3 seconds I had to turn the page. Although I loved it, the continious page turning was a turn off.
I tried downloading a few apps and some weren't tablet specific. The tetris didn't work out well. I downloaded a brain game and that seems okay. Kind of had to tilt it on one game, really far back. I have a word search and the only problem is the words go across the top notification section, so when I press, occassionally it will bring up the notification bar and I have to wait to move on. But it works. I would get a higher score if it didn't do that.
I wish I could get Angry birds but I tried a few ways and it wouldn't download.
I didn't try the web or e-mail or anyother internet site as I was trying to download games and my Kindle books.
I got it at Office Depot for $199, which is more then some paid, but it's less then what other tablets are. This was the price I was looking at (or lower). Just wanted a basic, smallish tablet.
It's not perfect. I had a few tried to get it connected to my netbook, but after the third (and turning off and on my netbook) it connected easily. The touch on the touch screen could be better, but it's not bad and doesn't bother me.
So far I'm enjoying it.
