Very good little tablet,
Wrote a positive review a week ago that Amazon did not publish, even though I am a more than regular customer. How companies do change, or are the odd staff there trying to punch above their rank.
I originally bought an M009s which lasted for two hours. I asked Wendy Lou to send a M010s as the replacement, but that did not arrive. Nevertheless Wendy Lou were very good on the service and support side, and refunded me really quickly. Would buy from them again because of that. Because they were out of stock I had to buy elsewhere and bought a M010s.
I own an Advent Vega 10.2inch and had an 8″ Scroll tab for nearly a month. For portability both of those could not compete with the 7″ M010s. This pad can fit in a wide pocket, is light, and can be held in the width of the palm. It uses a modified software ROM called ‘singularity’ and has both flash 10.1 and the full market. This device has a bright resistive type screen. Usually capacitive screens are accepted to be better. The problem with capacitive screens, as many know, is over sensitivity, and the problem of entering non intended input. This resistive screen, though, is the best I have used. It seems to be calibrated very well. It is sensitive to the finger for just the right amount of resistance, so for me, no stylus is needed. With my Virgin Media Broadband, the Wifi connects very well in all rooms of my house. Really importantly (Virgin have unlimited downloads) I can watch BBC iplayer and BBC news. Beat that Ipad!!! Angry birds plays smoothly. Screen image quality is quite good and with so many free online HD wallpapers avilable the screen always looks interesting. As an e-reader this pad is great. Because of it’s light weight it can be comfortably held up. Guardian anywhere app, which fetches very slowly on some tabs, downloads quite quickly, so you can read the morning paper in bed. Both the Ipad and Vega are quite heavy and tiring to hold as e-readers. “Documents to Go” is pre loaded so you can read and edit word and excel. That is a real goody.
On the negative side this tablet is very plasticky. Battery lasts for two hours, if you are lucky, while wifi is on. Switch off wifi if you are not using it. Quality control may not be top notch. Some go wrong as the reviews show.
All in all I use this as much as my Vega. It does compete with the IPAD. Not in quality…but in function and it costs a fifth of the price. If you get one that is working to it’s peak this is a really good tablet and I recommend it heartily. Five stars.

|M010S – Updated model of M009S and a great piece of kit.,
I have tried many tablets over the past several months and after reading the reviews of the Tabtech M009S device I was decided on that model, then to my surprise, I noticed the White M010S with the same spec as the M009S, but as I’ve discovered with updated kernel, I suspect all other things are the same, apart from the colour. This device is very stable and keeps my Wi-Fi connected almost all the time. The user interface is similar to the usual Android, although there are some nice enhancements from my other tablet (Storage Options Scroll 2, 8″ running Android 2.1). The Kindle app, YouTube app and all others installed on this device work perfectly and having a proper working Android Store is a huge bonus. If you use the Dolphin browser, pr-installed on my device, then the Flash 10.1 works perfectly on the sites I have visited, BBC news, Sky News etc, although on some sites you will get a pop-up stating that the Flash is an evaluation copy, this hasn’t caused any trouble though. You can even view BBC iPlayer, just have a good strong Wi-Fi connection first. Reading on the device is a pleasure, although again as with many of these devices, reading outside in sunny weather is almost impossible. I would stick to indoors reading for the best experience. The device is light to hold and the battery charge is the normal 4/5 hours with Wi-Fi off. You’ll get around 2 hours of heavy internet/browsing use with Wi-Fi on but if you keep your cable plugged in, this won’t be a problem. The device also comes with an attachment to allow USB cable connection and Ethernet cable too, but if you leave home without it then no standard connection will work. If you have a Card reader to hand for the optional Micro SD card, then just use that to transfer files to the card then use in your device. It is nice having a white tablet too for some reason, maybe I just like to be different, boring old black is so last year. Also Fantastic service from Wendy lou. Item arrived next day after order placed and arrived as described. Great experience from a buyer point of view, definitely will be back and would recommend.

|My new M010,
Ordered this on the Monday – it arrived less than 24hrs later!
At first I couldn’t connect to my BT-Homehub-2 WiFi – the WiFi
settings screen simply kept completely hanging the tablet. My Hub
has WPA & WPA2 encryption turned on and I was not prepared to lower
this to WEP.
I tried everything I could think of, including:
*resetting tablet via the tiny pinhole and a piece of thin wire (done correctly you can feel the tiny button ‘click’) – no joy.
*turning off our cordless ‘phones (not Hub-phones) – still hanging tablet.
*ensuring that only the tablet was trying to connect, without anything else connected (i.e. my laptop)
- no joy.
*completely resetting the Hub hardware (using the Hub’s tiny pinhole switch) – nothing.
*changing the Hub’s WiFi security key – nada.
*trying to connect via my Hub’s Openzone and BTFon open hotspots (no security needed here) – still the same problem.
By this stage I was beginning to lose the will to live…..
When the Hub was off the tablet’s WiFi settings saw other networks (but still couldn’t connect to their Openzones)
and behaved normally, no lock-up but no way to connect either!
Now in the middle of (reluctantly) typing a return and exchange e-mail to Wendy Lou, I had a new idea – a last ditch attempt….
I logged into my Hub’s settings and changed it’s wireless properties to type b/g only – turning off type n….
Hey Presto! – after several cartwheels, a backflip and one verse of ‘God Save the Queen’ problem solved – tablet found my network and connected to the Internet very quickly (it took about 10 seconds to receive an IP address and connect). I very nearly wept with relief, joy and sleep-deprivation.
The tablet is now completely problem-free and working perfectly without ANY problems whatsoever.
This procedure (using only b/g wireless and no n) could be very useful for any BT-Homehub-2 owners having problems
similar to mine and rapidly turning into a dead-eyed mindless gibbering zombie who’s spouse is about to set fire
to their tablet whilst they are still clutching at it and screaming like a banshee in frustration!
Whether the g standard was ‘swamping’ my network in some way (although another tablet and laptop we use never had any problems connecting) as regards the M010′s WiFi adapter I couldn’y say – but it’s an idea at least.
I hope this helps someone a bit.
In all other respects and functions both hardware and software are performing very, very well indeed. Of particular note is this tablet’s screen performance – it honestly is beautifully sensitive, accurate and responsive – you will
soon forget you ever owned a stylus.
Others have already covered this tablet fully but I thought my experience with the WiFi could be informative as I
haven’t seen the b/g/n signal settings mentioned.
