Here's that Lenovo: http://www.lenovo.com/products/us/tablet/ideapad/a1
I got the 16gb version for £136 inc ovenight delivery to Germany form "warehouse deals" here:
Lenovo A1 17,8 cm Tablet-PC schwarz: Amazon.de: Computer & Zubehör
Out of the box, it was in "as new" condition, still had the backing plastic on rear.....
First thing I noticed that much like my new android phone which also runs android 2.3.x wifi kept hanging up and reconnecting....a bit of googling and it was clear it's not that uncommon with this version of android....found a fix (use static ip and manually enter router settings into tab) and works fine, applied the same fix to my Huwaei Blaze, woked too so I now have a "mobile" skype phone...
Apart form that all is great with this, love it, battery life is good, screen colour and brightness good....have also set up a VPN and happily watched iplayer over here in Germany on it.....
two small things annoy me, I only have my Mum's Ipad to compare to...all apps auto-rotate, except the home/launcher....weird, also the screen swiping works great in all apps, except in the home / launcher...really needs a screen width swipe to get to next screen....fixed this by switching to Go Launcher....like the 7" screen format, means I can two thumb type whilst holding it instead of having to rest it on something...
Oh yes...had to find a hacked version of skype...official release had my outgoing video upside down!
