OK, I've been using the Kyros for a month now. I love it. I had bought the Maylawn M-150 first, but it didn't make it. It was slow, only had Android 1.6, didn't have the memory, had an inconvenient dongle in order to add two standard size USB ports and a wired network port, the wifi wan't great, and the stylus didn't have a slot to keep it with the tablet. It would have gotten lost soon for sure.

So, I returned it after getting the Kyros, which I feel is a much better unit. It FEELS more rugged and solidly made. Better designed, came with a booklike (surty) cover, has a slot to keep the stylus around (although I rarely use it) and with built in ports. Has a much better battery life, and Android 2.1.

So I love it. But, I do have some questions.

I haven't been able to download the kindle app, in fact I'm having trouble downloading anything from the Android Market.

I want to save attachments from emails to a download area and I can't.

Those are the two major issues. I have a couple of others, but those I'd like to solve.

Thanks.
