From the specs it has a VIA WM8505 ARM926 chip running at "300-533Mhz" with 128Mb of RAM and "Android 1.6 upgraded to 2.0". From questions asked of this eBay seller he states that the firmware isn't (can't be??) upgraded so can't access Android Marketplace, and that the Skype App can't handle voice or video, just iRC. He states that it's "3G ready" but what he means is that you can plug in a USB 3G dongle into the USB port - there's no SIM card slot. He quotes battery life as 3.5hrs, but doesn't say what type of usage.

Then again, it's seventy quid - what do you expect for that kind of money? Personally, although I'm looking for a cheap and cheerful Android tablet to play with, this isn't it for me as I don't think I'd be giving Android a fair crack of the whip with a device like this <shrug>
