All I can say is WOW! For a 7" tablet at $249, this is exactly what I want. The crisp
and clear resolution of 1024 x 600 with vivid colors and excellent touch response.
And viewing angles out the gazoo.

When I turned on the new unit, it goes through a setup to connect to a wi-fi connection,
before coming to Lenovo's customized home screen.

Of course, the first thing I do is click on the Market icon. Lo and behold, I have FULL
access to the Android Market place. I proceed to search for Netflix and install. What
great picture and smooth motion. Cable TV ... look out!

By the way, I should order a second one, as the black version of the 16 Gb model can
be purchased for just below $200!

IdeaPad A1 for $199.20

Well, I must get back to installing other useful apps, such as wifi file transfer pro and
astro file manager ...
ES File Manager is better. Thanks for your feedback as I have my eye on the A1 but waiting to see if it has any issues. It seems alot of the tablets have wake up/WiFi freezing issue. Though installing Advanced WiFi locked app seems to solve the problem.
