Looks like it's $129.99, now. Still not a bad price.

I must have gotten lucky. I ordered it last night and got it for $99.
Must have been the last day for the discount.

I hope you report back your thoughts on it when you get it and have had the chance to play with it a bit.

I will as soon as I get the unit.

I also went on Amazon and typed in " Android Tablet" and got 401 results.
the next couple of months should be interesting.

Well folks it is on sale once again for 99$.

The only potential problem I see if that there is no hints about which version of android it runs and if it autosyncs come update time.

Well I finally got my Maylong tablet.
And with in a half hour I was at Walgreens returning it.
I waited 3 weeks only to get a repackaged unit.
How do I know it was repackaged. There was two tape seals on the box and one was already cut.
So i took it out of the box and the unit was scratched badly across the screen and on the side. What a disapointment.
Now I have read alot of people complaining about these generic tablets.
So I guess i will wait till next year to get one. Right now there are way too many problems with these units.

That sucks that it came to you in such poor shape. Thanks for keeping up updated.
