Btw you can get the google play market free on the arnova. Just install arctools from the appslib market. then you install FIRMWARE first. You install the original Firmware for Arnova G2 it says. Then you reboot. Then you go back into it and hit INSTALL APPS. Then it will give you the google play market and some other cool apps. Then you reboot again of course and i know it looks like you are hacking it…but dont worry you are not. Then it should work perfectly fine. I hope this clears up 100% of the confusion on the stores.

I purchased this unit through a promotion from the Philadelphia Inquirer. Since I already subscribed to
that newspaper and get it delivered, I gave the Arnova 10 G2 unit a
shot. Basically, my wife and I are happy with it; for what we use it
for, it works. I will drop the physical delivery of the paper because I
can read it on the tablet. The Inquirer bundled a viewing application
specific for newspaper reading, and it works well enough.

That
being said, there are some fair criticisms of the unit. The screen pretty much is only useable by one person at a
time because of the viewing angle limitations. It does not yet hook up to
the larger app market. Let’s face it, the unit is not an iPad. :)

But
I was able to download some apps from Amazon – like a Netflix app for
Androids, and it works well. For viewing a movie streaming over the
wireless network by one person, the screen is actually pretty good. I
use headphones for the sound. Overall, the movie viewing experience is
more than adequate.

My wife and I both listen to radio on it, via
another app available for this unit, and that works fine also. Although
the built-in speakers are not high quality, one cannot expect great,
full spectrum sound coming out of speakers from any tablet of this type.
For basic radio listening, particularly news and talk, the built-in
speakers are okay.

The unit easily hooked into our home wireless network. All in all, a relatively decent value for the money.
