Is this tablet a scam?
« on: August 18, 2012, 11:16:04 am »
I stumbled upon this while looking for a good tablet running Android: http://m.lightinthebox.com/newsmy-t3-7-inch-capacitive-android-4-0-tablet-with-5-points-touch-8gb-1-2ghz-hdmi-out-3g-capability_p286113.html
It seems like a really good deal, for 90 bucks I can have an Android tablet (running BT5 thanks to LavaThemes's excellent tutorial: https://ininjas.com/forum/index.php?topic=2270.0) with 8gb of space. But It's from a brand I've never heard of, so I'm asking you guy's opinion. So: is this Tablet yay or nay?

PS, the page says there is a sale going on that puts the price at 90 bucks, but every time that sale ends it just restarts.

Just search on google there are tons of reviews. And I think the site is a bit low quality as what I found

Thanks for the quick reply! Yes I have tried googling the brand, and the reviews are mostly positive, but I was wondering if you guys thought it was worth the money for the power and space I'll get out of it. This tablet has a micro sd card slot, so later I'm gonna buy a 32gig micro sd card to make its space bigger.
