    Hi guys. I'm looking for a tablet and have found 2, but the clock is ticking on both. One is on ebay, the other on nomorerack.com. I think the latter only has 14 hours left on this deal.

    Can anybody take a look at these and tell me if they are good products? Other than listing items for sale on eBay and checking in on facebook I would really only surf the web sometimes.

    Here they are:
    Google Android 4.0 1.2GHz 8GB 9" Dual-Camera Tablet PC & Accessories
    http://www.nomorerack.com/daily_deals/view/712685-google_android_4_0_1_2ghz_8gb_9__dual_camera_tablet_pc___accessories___assorted_colors

    10.1" Google Android 4.03 Tablet PC 8GB 1GB DDR3 HDMI Bundle Keyboard&Earphones
    http://www.ebay.com/itm/10-1-Google-Android-4-03-Tablet-PC-8GB-1GB-DDR3-HDMI-Bundle-Keyboard-Earphones/230942293293

    Thanks in advance!

    I can't get the "nomorerack" link to come up, but the eBay one (based on what's included and the 60-day return policy) looks like a decent value.

    On the eBay tablet, I'd get the Square Trade 2 year extended warranty as well. If it breaks, mfr. warranty service on generic tablets is a joke. In addition, getting parts for them is basically impossible (I own a repair shop...I know) and - even if parts are available - a basic repair often exceeds the replacement cost of the tablet.

    Hope this helps. :)

    Personally, I would not waste my money on either because both are brands I'd never heard of Kocaso and iRulu. (I've been researching name brand tablets for a few months and still haven't made a decision). For me, I'd rather spend a bit more and not buy something I'm disappointed with.
    Also neither is a google approved device. The list is here

    which means unless you do some serious hacking, you will not be able to use GooglePlay and get apps that way.

    I tend to read reviews, especially the 1 and 2 star to see what problems might rise. Here are reviews to look over
