I can understand the criticism. These are budget devices and are not full-fledged tablets. I have to say, though, I really question the decision to put the on/off switch on the bottom of the device! I imagine I'd be hitting that thing all the time.

We need to keep in mind, though, that these reviews are not always accurate. The media doesn't always do a good job in reporting about these devices. We've seen similar criticisms leveled against the Vox that just weren't true. (Poor display? I don't think so!)
