Yeah, totally in agreement with you. Actually, I'm not sure if you mean the Arc 7 or newer, or the original... I have an original and I LOVE my Arc! Found a super deal on a 64GB model a few months ago ($99!) and couldn't resist. I didn't know anything about them and wasn't sure about it at the time, but figured I'd have the 14-day return period...but I have been very pleasantly surprised with it and it is now my go-to tablet vs. my full-sized iPad!

And yes, I've just this past week come across the app incompatibility thing which is odd because I can load the newest game in that series directly from the Play store, but apparently not the first one (several years old). My biggest bug-bear is that the Arc doesn't seem able to handle the graphics in Minion Rush, which is a shame (sounds like the Kindle Fire has the same problem).
