    Pros: + GPS, gyrosensor, light sensor, rear camera, front camera, 1ghz dual core processor, 1 gb ram
    + WiFi is super powerful in comparison to my other tablets.
    + Very fast and responsive
    + Honeycomb

    Cons: - No kick stand. I loved this about my first two tablets and I missed it on day 2 with this tablet.
    - Short battery life. I am used to a 7 hour battery life and this tablet cuts 2 hours off of that.

    Summary: This is my third Android tablet. My first was a very low budget tablet, the Archos 7 Home Tablet, the second was the Archos 70 Internet Tablet. I was looking for a tablet with more features, most importantly a rear camera and a GPS, but I didn't want to spend $600.

    When I rate anything, I rate it based on what is being promised vs what has been delivered. So although I may mention cons in this review, it still scores a perfect rating because those cons are disclosed up front and I wasn't hit with any curve balls.

    Screen:
    I wish the light sensor would kick it to full brightness more often, but I just turned the auto off and keep it at 50% brightness. The screen doesn't have the best viewing angles, but that is typical with the screen type. However, the display is super sharp and looks great!

    WiFi:
    When sitting at my desk, I was at maybe 5% reception for WiFi on my old tablet and I often dropped the connection depending on where it was sitting on my desk. With this tablet, I am about 50% reception and I haven't dropped yet. This WiFi is MUCH better than what I have seen before in other tablets.

    Battery:
    This tablet isn't for everyone because of the battery life. On travel days, it is really going to get to me. I plan on buying a battery charger to juice it up on heavy usage days, but I don't think I will hit empty that often.

    Overall, if you want a 7" Android tablet that gives a great experience, this is for you. I can't stress how happy I am with my purchase and I think I will be sticking with this tablet for a while.

    P.S. If you will buy this Tablet I suggest you have to check prices before you decide at: www.amazon.com/exec/******/****/B00548QAPC/***************
