2.0 out of 5 stars Lightweight 10-inch Android 2.3 tablet with so-so screen, November 22, 2011

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program ( What's this?)
UPDATE on 12-23-2011: The Cruz T410's touchscreen became increaseingly difficult to use after the honeymoon period was over, and it's now a royal pain in the butt to use! The screen itself is just too dark, even at the highest brightness setting. I did some research and found that this is just a rebranded Samsung tablet. I have no experience with that brand but at my local Costco store the cell phone lady said stay away from their phones because their touchscreens never worked really well. Anyway, we now rarely use the T410 and will look for a replacement! I lowered the rating to 2 stars - maybe some people will stil find this cheap tablet ok for their purposes. Happy holidays!!

[original review:] Velocity Micro is a specialty PC maker. It also makes a few Android tablets; the Cruz T410 can be considered their "flagship" Android tablet model [update: but it's just a rebranded model from Samgung so it's not OEM.]. It has an elongated shape; indeed, its physical dimensions... Read more

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program ( What's this?)
Putting this tablet in a challenge against an iPad 2 or the Samsung Galaxy Tab is pointless. The typically-top-rated tablets have better screen resolution, better cameras, more memory, and faster processors. But the better tablets also cost quite a bit more than this entry from Velocity. The latest tablet comparisons in PC World magazine put all of the top tablets around the $400-$500 range.

For a below $300 tablet, this seems to me to be a perfectly acceptable purchase. Surf the web, check e-mail, listen to music, watch videos...this will do the trick. As I look at the screen quality on this, I realize immediately that it can't compare with the iPad 2. But I also know that there are many people out there who couldn't care less about such differences.

So, consider this. For under $300, you get:
1) A perfectly capable web browser...one that can handle flash websites. It's not a particularly peppy browser, but it is responsive enough (as is its... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Tablet for the price., December 27, 2011

This review is from: Velocity Micro Cruz Tablet T410 - 10-Inch Android Tablet with Flash (Personal Computers)
This tablet works great. although it does not have the full android market, you can get most apps from the built in amazon app store. and im sure after a few months xda developers will have an ics or honeycomb rom for it. also being so new, there are not screen protectors or cases for it yet. luckly it has the same dimensions as the motorolla xoom tablet. so i picked up a motorolla xoom screen guard and leather case and they fit perfectly. i took my kindle fire back after getting this tablet because the fire does not have a web cam or microphone, or accelerometer, or sd card its stuck at 4gb of storage and the screen on the fire is too small. this tablet comes with the kindle app so you can still read your books. you can also install the nook app or any other app from the app store. and you can skype, which you cant do on the fire.
