I got this at he last woot off...This tablet has good hardware, but the stock ROM on it makes the tablet slow. This is a great budget tablet if you plan on flashing the ROM. It can be flashed to Froyo, Gingerbread, and there is a Beta Honeycomb(catagories of ROMs)out there as well. Just got to be willing to put in some homework.
Got one last time. rooted it and it runs great. Great price.
How bad is the viewing angle?
#3 Not very good viewing angle, but the touch screen is excellent.
The viewing angle on this is pretty horrible, anything other than head on looks bad. This was a huge negative when this thing first came out for $400. With the price dropping down to $250 then the screen angle can be somewhat forgiven as you won't find something with a better viewing angle for a comparable price. The only other "decent" tablet in this price range is the Nook Color (rooted) which is a decent amount slower and a 7" tablet but does have a better screen.
Can you guys tell me where you get your ROM?
#6 VEGAn-Tab (Froyo) is the ROM I am currently at. TNT lite seemed a bit faster, but I got force close errors (in all honesty may have been at the hands of myself). VEGAn-Tab is stable for me.

Make sure you understand the NVflash instructions. It save me from soft-bricking my tablet 3-4 time in the first week I had it. I plan on jumping to Bottle of Smoke (Honeycomb) once Adobe flash is working
