On the whole, good and recommended!,
I purchased this tablet based upon the specs and reviews that were on this listing and those on the previous listing.
General Pros & Cons:
POSITIVES:
> Cheap and good spec for the price
> Full access to Google Play and all apps seem to work well
> Exceptional quality of screen
> Good sound quality
> Options for additional storage (32GB maximum)
NEGATIVES:

> Rare WiFi problems where device fails to connect to network (restart device/disconnect -> reconnect to solve)
> No mini-HDMI adaptor included.
More in depth, based on spec provided:
For the price (£69.99 at the time of my purchase), listed were the following specs:
> Android 4.0.3
– Brilliant, great operating system with full access to Google Play – apps such as Facebook, Twitter, all working.
> Intuitive capacitive 5 point touch-screen.
– As far as I am aware this is correct, although haven’t fully tested it yet.
> Plays 1080p HD and 3D content on your TV or monitor.
– If you are thinking of connecting it to a TV/monitor, be aware it has a mini-HDMI slot, requiring an adapter (not included). The screen quality itself is BRILLIANT, very high quality!
> All Winner A10 1.2HGz CPU, MALI 400 GPU
– Processor is alright for the price, but I must admit it can get a little slow occasionally. If this is going to annoy you, I would recommend purchasing a higher-spec CPU.
> 512MB RAM
– Pretty decent again, for the price.
> 8GB memory (up to 32GB with Micro SD Card).
– Partitioned into about 1.15GB “internal”, 5.74GB “internal storage”
– I am using 16GB Micro SD card, works great!
> Flash 11.1 support for online TV & video services.
– Yep.
> Display 800 x 480 resolution, 7″ size, colour, LCD, Anti-Glare, High Resolution
– The screen is actually brilliant. Watched a few films with it so far, and they are remarkably high quality!
> Touchscreen Type: 5 point Capacitive.
– Has been a bit tempermental so far, but you get used to it.
> Camera: Front mounted 1.3 megapixel.
– Quite high quality, strangely warped over skype (likely to have been my connection)
> Speaker: built-in rear speaker.
– Pretty decent volume, good quality.
> Gravity Sensor: 4-Way.
– Yep.
> WIFI: 802.11 b/g/n
– Yep, some connectivity issues as mentioned by others. Simply turning it on and off, or disconnecting and reconnecting solves it. They haven’t been particularly regular, only once or twice.
> Earphone Port: 3.5mm jack
– Comes with:
—-> x1 3.5mm jack headphones
> Battery: 4200MAh
– Lasts a decent amount of time, depending on whether you’re connected to WiFi, how bright your screen is etc (standard really).
> 1 x Mini USB port
– Comes with:
—-> x1 Mini USB -> Regular Male USB
—-> x1 Mini USB -> Female USB
> 1 x Mini HDMI port

|Great little tablet,
The Ployer Momo9 is a brilliant buy at the sort of prices being asked: you get an excellent little tablet for general purpose browsing, light games, music and videos.
There are a number of cheap Android tablets being produced at the moment. An increasingly popular type is using the “AllWinner A10″ chip, which combines a decent quality 1.2GHz processor with a dedicated 0.4GHz graphics chip. You can spend all day trying to compare different chips and tablets to decide which one is best, so I will simply say that the innards of this tablet are more than adequate for browsing, videos, and generally running the system. Of the “AllWinner A10″ tablets, this one was the best deal at the time I bought, but they are all pretty similar.
The tablet comes in a surprisingly nice-looking box, that will look impressive as a present for someone. Besides the tablet, you get a terrible little manual, and some cheap headphones, but that’s pretty usual for mobile devices, plus 2 usb cables – one for plugging into your PC, and the other for letting you plug keyboards and other usb devices into your tablet. The charger arrived attached to the side of the box.
The tablet itself is plastic, but feels sturdy. It is black at the front with a fairly wide bezel around the screen, and with an attractive white back with logos. On the edge is a power button, and a rocker-style volume switch. The switches are sensibly placed and need a good push to work, so you won’t be hitting them by accident. The “bottom” of the tablet when held in portrait has the various ports: power, mini USB, HDMI, 3.5mm headphone, and memory card. The memory card slot is labelled “TF card”, which is an older name for MicroSD, but it works with new MicroSD cards just fine.
Overall, it’s a very nice looking piece of kit for the price, although I’d definitely get a case and/or a screen protector.
When held in portrait, the “bottom” bezel has 3 physical buttons – menu, home, and back. You won’t actually need these, because the tablet comes with Google’s latest version of Android, code named Ice Cream Sandwich, which is designed to work with tablets without needing physical buttons.
The Android OS Ice Cream Sandwich is frankly lovely – it looks nice, works well, and has a ton of great features. It arrived installed, with no fuss, and all features working, and is easily the best thing about this tablet. It moves around no matter which way you hold the tablet, has little electronic versions of the menu buttons on the bottom bar so you can hold it in landscape (or even upside down) without worrying where the physical buttons are. It comes with a well-designed web browser with tabs, apps for email or dedicated gmail, map, calendar, movie and music player, camera app, etc. The pre-installed “Documents To Go” handles Microsoft Office files, and there’s the Adobe pdf reader, You get the full android market (now named Google Play) with all the apps. I’ve yet to find any major apps that don’t work, although big 3D games might not. I’ve got YouTube, BBC iPlayer, Kindle, and Skype working without fuss, for example.
For pure fluff, you can swipe left and right for homescreens as usual, there’s various wallpapers including live ones (I rather like the Koi pond that ripples when you touch the screen), and some nice widgets to add.
More importantly, wifi connection and signal is easy to set up and works fine – I tested signal and download speed side-by-side with a phone and a laptop and it worked just as well.
Android, and Ice Cream Sandwich, probably isn’t as easy to use straight away as iOS on the iPad, but when it comes down to it there are only about 6 menu buttons to press, so you’ll get the hand of it pretty soon.
Here are some of the major features of the tablet that deserve some comment:
* 7 inch screen – I was a bit dubious about the screen size, considering 9 or 10 inches are the more popular sizes, but I’ve been really won over. You can read an e-book, watch a video, or browse a full-size webpage without a problem on this size screen.
* 800*480 screen resolution – the same as most mid-range smartphones. This is one of the features where you get what you pay for – tablets twice the price will probably be 1024*600. If you want to view very high resolution photos or videos, then you’ll probably notice the difference, but this is more than adequate for general use.
* Capacitive touchscreen – much better than any “resistive” screen, this is the type you want on a modern tablet. It supports the usual multi-finger gestures such as pinch-to-zoom.
* Battery: I would guess you’ll get 5 hours of mixed use, which is a decent amount for this type of tablet.
* 8GB internal memory – This is slightly more complicated: you get 1.15GB for apps, and 5.75GB for general storage of videos, movies and the like (The missing GB is taken by the core system). Unless you buy enormous games,…
