4 out of 5 stars   Pretty darn good for the price!

Review submitted for Skytex Skypad Alpha2 - 7-inch Capacitive Touchscreen Tablet Android 4.0 (SXSP715A)
Pros: Good deal, Reasonably Fast, Good battery life, Good Graphics
Cons: Needs better screen
Other Comments: I use this mostly for reading books and playing games. I was able to download the Kobo desktop so I can read all my Kobo books as well as Kindle books. Internet is reasonably fast. The graphics are good for a tablet at this price. The touch screen leaves a little to be desired - not as sensitive on the edges as others I have tried but passable. I think this is a really good tablet for the price. It is not an Ipad but then I knew I wasn't buying an Ipad. Fits my needs well.

5 out of 5 stars   Great Buy for the Money!
By J.D. The Tech Guy on July 09, 2012

Review submitted for Skytex Skypad Alpha2 - 7-inch Capacitive Touchscreen Tablet Android 4.0 (SXSP715A)
Pros: Easy To Use, Adequate Storage, Durable Construction, USB OTG Port, HD Streaming Playing, Expansion Slot Up To 32GB, Bright Image, Lightweight, Large Screen
Cons: Poor Battery Life, Slow, Crashes/Freezes, Poor Speaker Quality
Other Comments: I bought this product for simple tasks such as checking email on the go (through WiFi), to read e-books, as a music and video player and some casual gaming, especially trivia games. Yes the product is sluggish, yes the battery life is not the best, but I knew all of that when buying the Skypad. I did my research online thoroughly before buying it, and I am satisfied with my purchase. I wasn't looking to buy something to act as an iPad. For that I would just buy an iPad, and if that's what you're looking for, then this product is not for you. The one thing, which I knew from the get go, that was disappointing was the speaker, and even with the one speaker this little gadget still rocks! Over all the Skypad is a GREAT buy and bargain for the money. I bought mine for [$] ( cheaper than an e-book reader I bought a year earlier), and it has a lot more features than I expected. Also, the USB port supports and allows for flash drives, and other devices to be plugged to the device. I ordered a leather case with built-in keyboard, and it works perfectly! Note that it has to be a Mini USB plug. You can also buy a Mini USB male to USB female adapter, which will allow you to connect an array of USB products, but don't expect all of them to work. I have not experimented with it other than the keyboard.

5 out of 5 stars   Great Rooted 7inch Andriod Tablet
By Big German on June 24, 2012
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Skytex Skypad Alpha2 - 7-inch Capacitive Touchscreen Tablet Android 4.0 (SXSP715A)
Pros: Rooted, Very well made, Great 7inch tablet
Cons: Not many cases available, Battery life
Other Comments: I didn't think much of this tablet when ordering it for [$]. I wanted something that was rooted so I could started playing around with the android operating system. All I can say is how impressed I am with this 7 inch tablet. I am now running Bulldogs granite rom and this thing does everything I want and more. IF you are wanting a small 7 inch tablet and don't want to shell out a lot for one then look no further. You won't be disappointed. Have 4 friends at work that already got one. Well that's it for now.

3 out of 5 stars   Decent tablet, not an iOS replacement
By jlafount on June 24, 2012

Review submitted for Skytex Skypad Alpha2 - 7-inch Capacitive Touchscreen Tablet Android 4.0 (SXSP715A)
Pros: Affordable, Android 4 OS
Cons: Only 512MB memory, Speaker is low fidelity, Slightly heavy
Other Comments: A decent product to get you into the Android OS. Doesn't come with some of the basics like Google Play, Amazon Store and such but with a bit of research you can install those on this tablet. Screen is just ok and fairly responsive. Battery life is decent for a 7 inch tablet.

4 out of 5 stars   Not bad as is - great after tweaking
By TRR on June 22, 2012
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Skytex Skypad Alpha2 - 7-inch Capacitive Touchscreen Tablet Android 4.0 (SXSP715A)
Pros: Mini HDMI port, Nice price, aluminum shell, Not pre-loaded with junk, USB OTG port, Android 4 ICS installed, Up to 32 GB microSDHC, Pre-rooted
Cons: WiFi could be better, 4GB storage split-up, Google Play not included, No forward camera
Other Comments: Most of the cons are fixable if you don't mind hacking, er, tinkering with it. Google Play (formerly known as the Android Market) isn't included. Instead it comes with 1Mobile Market (which is a pretty good market itself). If you prefer Google Play, you can add it. The WiFi seems a little weak as originally configured (likely to conserve battery power). I did some tweaking of the settings under the hood and boosted the power which seems much better. The built-in 4GB of storage is split between internal storage and what's addressed as "SDCARD". Essentially about half or so pretends that it's an SD card, even though you can't remove it. If you install a microSDHC card, it get's addressed as "EXTSDCARD", which can be used for storage of docs, pics, music, etc. but you can't install apps to it. However, there is a way to tweak it to swap the built in SDCARD area for the EXTSDCARD area, making it possible to install apps to the microSDHC card. A good forum dealing with this tablet (and how to tweak it) is found at http://www.slatedroid.com/forum/213-skytex-skypad/ I give it 4 stars as it comes out of the box. After tweaking, I give it 5 stars.
