New to Android

[nickelpeed]

Hi, I'm Penny and I am new to the android market. I bought two different cheaper tablets on E-bay, both for Christmas. Both are MID 702 with Android 2.2. One is just a regular 7" tablet: [h=1]7" Android 2.2 VIA 8650 Tablet PC Netbook WiFi Cam MID[/h][h=2]REAL ANDROID MARKET OS 2. 2 USA SELLER FAST FREE SHIP!![/h]
and the other is: 7" ANDROID 2.2 TABLET HONEYCOMB MOD 3.0 3.1 CUSTOM ROM CAMERA 3G WIFI ROOTED USA

I bought both from Dealz Central on E-bay. I am getting ready to buy another for my daughter so she can take to her college classes.

I've ordered this one: [h=1]7" MID TABLET PC FLYTOUCH ANDROID INFOTMIC 1GHZ ROOTED 2.3 GINGERBREAD SUPERPAD[/h]
The guy from the store said if I am not sure, I can change to another. I do not know much about Flytouch or Gingerbread Superpad. Can someone tell me something about it?

Would it be better for me to get another Honeycomb? He suggested maybe a MID c71 4GB Cortex Android 2.3. Should I stick with a system that has been around longer? Or should this Flytouch Android INFOTMIC be okay? Thank you.

I like dealing with this seller because of the other tablets I bought from him. They've worked great, so I would like to stay with him. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here are the specs for the Flytouch:

Well, if she can use it for movies, she will. She does have a netflix account; however, she wants to use it mostly for a portfolio and some of her research for classes. She also goes to facebook a lot and has her own webstite/ shop on line. I no nothing about tablets.

What exactly is flytouch? Is gingerbread better than honeycomb? Should I spend the extra $70 to get the 4GB Cortex? She basically wants something to put in her purse and I really don't have a lot to spend on it. The guy I get them from at E-bay is very good. They root them for you and will customize; however, since the 7" Mid 702 Flytouch/Gingerbread is relatively new, they will not customize for about another month.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
