welcome to my unboxing of kind of an interesting little tablet this is
0:10
available at NC and I was pretty impressed with it when I first saw it
0:15
because the demo unit that was brought to me was running Android 4.0 Ice Cream
0:20
Sandwich and I said oh okay so the ones in our inventory are they running Ice
0:24
Cream Sandwich and I was told no they're not and I said well but that's a
0:28
fantastic selling point because this this is like a 100 over dollar 7in
0:33
Tablet running Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich why why isn't it rolled out to
0:37
the ones in our stock so what they did is they went they took them all back
0:41
they upgraded them all and everyone in the NC stock is now running Android 4.0
0:46
Ice Cream Sandwich so this is an 8 gig V 700b from invis and digital right here
0:51
imported by majorly Global Enterprises cool cool support at okay let's go ahead
0:56
and get this thing opened up because this is actually a really really cool
1:00
tablet for the price so fairly Bare Bones accessory package you got your
1:05
power you got your data cable usba a to
1:08
mini B you've got a very very
1:12
simple little yeah overview reset power menu
1:18
trans flash slot very simple user guide although the whole thing is English look
1:22
at that okay showing you some basic Android
1:26
functionality cleaning cloth and the tablet is
1:30
so here we go it has honestly pretty
1:35
much everything that I ask for in a
1:38
mobile device including some of the things that I'm usually like afraid to
1:41
ask for because no one seems to be willing to do it number one is a reset
1:44
switch I I I have harped on this whenever I've seen it I love having a
1:49
hard reset switch because sometimes things crash and with these tablets it's
1:53
almost impossible to rip out the battery so it's fantastic to have that hard
1:57
reset built in we've got our power buttons I'm going to go ahead and power
2:00
it on next we've got our oh okay well
2:04
it's a good thing that uh there's a guide in here to what all these things
2:08
are aha there we go so we have
2:12
our aha menu button press this button shortly to enter the submenu interesting
2:17
so we could do that neat okay so that allows us to manage wallpaper apps and
2:22
system settings next one is escape so that's just like kind of a back button
2:26
that's kind of neat you don't see that integrated on too many tablets micro SD
2:30
mini HDMI out uh USB mini so that's for
2:35
interfacing with the tablet USB so that
2:38
is for just plugging in any old USB drive you can actually play 725 720p
2:45
video I've seen this demoed 720 PM KVs directly off a USB drive that is plugged
2:50
into the tablet okay there's our headphone jack there's your power input
2:55
there's a little sticker indicating that it's 8 gigs all right I actually don't
2:59
have any uh I don't have any video files on here but you know whatever so cancel
3:03
the battery is getting low that's okay so check this out guys so I I haven't
3:07
actually used ice cream sandwich yet although what I can say is it does seem
3:11
to run uh pretty darn smoothly uh
3:15
considering this is on a very very value oriented tablet oh I think I just turned
3:19
off the Wi-Fi okay like I said guys sorry I'm not familiar with Ice Cream
3:22
Sandwich yet so let's go ahead and uh see if there's any apps on this one by
3:27
default here we go what do we got here
3:31
Wi-Fi analyzers on here although I'm not connected to Wi-Fi yet overall I'd say
3:35
that the screen quality is the one thing about this tablet that leaves a little
3:39
bit of something to be desired but given the price point that really shouldn't be
3:43
that surprising and it would be unfair of me to be uh you know
3:47
particularly hard on it for that so okay storage unexpectedly removed oops my bad
3:53
so let's go in here and uh actually here
3:56
let me get connected to Wi-Fi here guys give me a sec okay guys we're connected
4:00
to Wi-Fi so let's go ahead and fire up the browser it's very very Snappy oh
4:03
apparently we have to install a Flash
4:07
Player I wonder is that done already oh yeah there we go Okay cool so let's see
4:12
let's see what browsing is like on here actually let's search for
4:17
NCI where's my keyboard
4:20
oh okay English US NCI
4:25
do I still don't like the Android keyboard as much as I like the iOS key
4:29
keyboard but I guess that's kind of
4:32
life okay so let's go to nci.com
4:37
overall very usable experience once again this is another
4:42
thing that I like so much better on iOS versus on Android the uh the zooming and
4:46
panning around in the
4:50
browser but honestly yeah for the price this is unbeatable I've looked at some
4:55
um inexpensive tablets in the past that I just really wasn't that impressed with
4:59
but uh this one is really cool especially with these features to add
5:03
more storage output mini HDMI as well as
5:06
read directly off a USB drive so let's see what it's like watching Flash video
5:10
on the internet so let's go to uh let's go check out my
5:15
favorite uh flash based whoops no no not
5:19
oh shoot oh oh that was my bad sorry
5:23
don't let that uh don't let that be
5:26
indicative of the uh accuracy of the touch screen that was
5:31
just my
5:35
bad yeah like I said my favorite Flash video series on the internet he does
5:40
video game reviews if you guys aren't already familiar with
5:45
YSI and let's watch this
5:58
one very cool though oh there's a camera
6:01
here no camera on the back oh look at
6:05
that these were all labeled anyway oh no the ones that I was
6:08
confused about weren't labeled there's your speaker as
6:21
well should be loaded
6:28
soon there we we go let's make it
6:32
big and
6:36
play not bad at all
6:43
actually okay well we're not going to rip off Yi's content here but let's just
6:47
see how well it runs in full
6:54
screen I'd say it's a little bit on the choppy side for for what I'm used to
6:59
with the GX Tab 10.1 that I normally use for my Android testing but if you're
7:04
just looking for something that's you know good for mobile browsing you know
7:08
let's fire up a game here guys so guys there was a bit of a trick
7:13
to get things installed um I'll show you that after
7:18
so let's just see how Angry Birds runs here okay yeah yeah you point your
7:23
finger at the thing and then you fling the guy oh whoops yay
7:30
and oh I suck at this game and Y oh okay
7:38
well the point is that it runs more than anything else I mean yeah it's not aided by my uh
7:44
complete and utter ineptitude here but
7:48
whatever I think you guys get the point so are you going to be running
7:52
anything like you know Tegra HD whatever
7:56
anything like that no not really I mean this is a fairly basic tablet but will
8:01
you be able to run the basics the answer is a resounding yes
8:08
because apparently I managed to beat this level yay uh so I'll show you guys
8:11
the trick on the App Market uh once you're on
8:15
there make sure that you select I I mean maybe this is just an ice cream sandwich
8:21
strangeness thing but go to accounts and then you have to actually see it's it's
8:25
already checked but then you have to click it to show which account you want
8:29
to use Market otherwise it just won't download anything so I found a Google help topic on that so thank you for
