Default Maylong Android Tablet, a review of the worst possible gadget

Here is their official review:

Don't buy this

Really, if you want a tablet that badly and you're on a budget, save up enough cash to get one that has actually gotten some respect from somebody—consumers, open source nerds, we don't care who. The truth of the matter is that the M-150 is so painful to use that you'll rarely find yourself looking forward to using it (not to mention that it feels cheap, flimsy, and barely lasts longer than a drunken fratboy in bed). Why would you do that to yourself?

Even if you want it for the hacking, there has to be a better way to put your $99 to good use, like on software, or an iOS developer account (Kidding! Put down the tomatoes). For those curious, the M-150 apparently can't be upgraded to any better version of Android thanks to hardware limitations (at least that's what the Maylong guys claim), so that's out. And if you're looking for a cheap e-book reader, both the Kindle and the Barnes & Noble Nook are below $150 and will offer you a more satisfying reading experience.

So, whatever you do, save your money—or spend it on something more entertaining than the M-150. We hear you can get a decent bottle of George T. Stagg for around that much.

Best buy had something else to say about this and posted a rebutal on their blog with all the great stuff this tablet can do, in fact they really managed to showcase it's versatility:
