Seems I'll have to revise my earlier statement that these are passable tablets. You should instead take a pass on them. The 256MB of RAM and 720MHz processor just aren't enough for my family members' use. We finally worked out a way of getting some apps from the official Apps Market and onto the Apads, but you'll need a friend with an actual "blessed" Android system to do it (before anyone yells piracy, we only copied over free apps that weren't available through F-Droid or AndAppStore). The 2GB is built-in storage was adequate for what few apps they wanted to use. We have 2 Apads and each of them has had stuck power button issues. They've both had overheating problems to the point where they are painful to touch on the back. The touch screens are also a bit finicky, but that's only a problem if you're trying to play games, not read or watch videos.
Update: One of the power buttons is now permanently stuck and DinoDirect.com's customer assistance redirects you to their forums where I'm seeing lots of problems being posted about the various "aPad" models they carry. I don't think I'm likely to order from them again. They appear to be intended as wholesalers and have a very short return policy centered more around receiving defective merchandise than items failing during use. I also haven't been able to determine a manufacturer for the aPads to contact about any kind of warranty whatsoever.
