So another Black Friday has come and gone, and honestly, the only thing I want this year is from Menards, of course. I still want a cheapo Android device to toy around with, to play my stash of Android games on, but also to function as an inexpensive e-reader.

Don't let the Sylvania name fool you. Another company called Curtis International licenses the name from Osram and just plasters it on lots of cheapo Chinese electronics from BT speakers to tablets such as this. Curtis stuff tends to vary wildly in quality, from SoOkayItsAverage to just plain abysmal.
Judging by the price of this tablet, it may just be enough to run simple mobile games and perhaps function as said e-book reader. Battery life is a mystery, but based on previous experience, these budget tablets tend to only have four to six hours average life during active use. I would be curious to see what kids apps they preloaded and how much storage they take up. The ad says "16GB RAM", but I think that really means 16GB internal storage which is barely getting by even for a budget tablet. A microSD card is a must for this tablet.
I will report back when and if I do get this tablet. It should be very soon, if the stock hasn't run out....

I love foxes, especially the one in my avatar.
