    No use me getting mine anything like that Kathryn, his fingers would never manage anything small like that he struggles enough with a mobile phone and can only really use one to make and receive calls.

    How is it working? Something like that made it's way to my desk at work once. It's a Gome Flytouch. It's running a hacked Android port, cannot connect to Marketplace and has pretty weak touchscreen sensitivity.

    Thanks dobhar. Some of these Nook and Kindle things are said to run for a whole week. I was just wondering how that compared.

    I read in the specs.that you can attach a keyboard and mouse via the USB port. Did you ever try that and does it work?


    There was this question that xarden asked earlier. I think the answer would be "yes" if it were Android 2.2 where flash support is a basic function. But the Kyros runs on 2.1. which does not support flash.

    Does it play Flash?

    this one runs on the ARM X220 chip , sensitivity is excellent , I also bought Hubby the integrated keyboard/case and a mouse , wifi is top notch .The Gome flytouch ran on the ZT 180a chip @ 800mhz. Hubbys' really pleased with it, battery life could be better about 4-5 hours but after all its a tablet :)

    Well I turned it on (battery 100%), turned on wireless, then left it alone except for a few e-mail checks and the battery lasted over 5 hrs. It was just around 5 hrs the last time I looked at it and it has about 10% life left. The next time I saw it it was dead. I'll give it a good usage test tonight or this weekend to see how long it lasts if I'm playing a game...installed a couple free ones from "Google Market".

    Yes. It comes with a couple usb cables so I plugged in a keyboard and it worked quite well. I did try and optical mouse and it worked as well thought not a well as I liked. When you move the mouse it just "tabs" between links. You do not get a mouse pointer.
