I just bought the CMP738b at Rite aid on sale for a hundred dollars which seemed like a nice deal. The only problem is that it does not want to connect to my home wifi router. It accepts the creation of the wifi account, shows signal strength as excellent and then informs me that the network is "not in range". Given that my router sits, oh, three feet away from me, I find that unlikely. I had to work to get a Craig customer service number and when I called, the responder wasn't even familiar with the tablet and had to put me on hold for ten minutes while he located a device in the office to mirror what I was trying to do! I finally did some research online and found that there are a good number of people having trouble with these units working properly on wifi connectivity right out of the box. (Looks like a manufacturing quality control problem to me...) but that one or two returns later, they get one that works finally. So I'm packing mine back up, returning it to rite aid and exchanging it, hopefully for one that works. It's a great deal, if I can get one that works, but it does bring to mind the adage about you get what you pay for.
