I'm sorry to say this is a waste of money.  First off they are so heavy.  I found after two days it actually hurt my wrist to hold it, in the tablet form. Secondly its so acquired, because its so heavy:( its a shame since its so affordable. I ended up taking it back and getting a apple.

just going to purchase one now feeling excited after all the reviews from the web  and is also very affordable

Purchased new Slate on 8-10-13, received it on 8-14-13  by 8-16-13 it NO longer would pick up WIFI..its on the way back hope my next one works better and longer :(

I purchased one in the states and it's been a great device. It is my first tablet, so I wasn't sure what to expect after the mixed reviews around the web. It performs and does not feel cheap. Occasionally, I will find an app that's not compatible with jellybean, but I still have access to the net, so it's not a problem. The flash issue can be solved using  the puffin browser. I rarely take pictures or record video, and this machine is good enough. As long as I can communicate with the world, read, and work on school projects, I'm not fussed.  I find the things that people complain about to be strange sometimes. Yeah, it's not an iPad mini. I don't see the point of owning one other than to say I have an iPad mini, and $329+ is quite steep for bragging rights.
