frame (not the screen), which has some (advantages, disadvantages) over being on the screen. If you are like me and use the tablet while it's plugged in, you will want to hold the tablet with the charging cable pointed away from you. This puts the (back, home, task) buttons at the top edge in vertical mode. The home button is mechanically pressed, so it is possible to start the tablet while it is in the carrying case, which could cause overheating.

When this tablet came out, it promised a battery that could hold a charge for upto 10-12 hours, but I never got more than 4 hours.

Data Carriers: AT&T, MintMobile, will add more soon.

Positives:
Overall it's a nice tablet, with a decent camera which allows you to tap the screen to focus on objects

Negatives:
With the missing compass, you will never be able to use Google Sky Map or Google maps 3d look around.
