Ordered cheap 'n cheery 7" tablet for mobile photo viewing

As threads here disappear downstream so fast, I thought it might help others to share my conclusion to the thread entitled "Cheap, light pic viewer for package holidays ???????" at:

It was an interesting and helpful discussion (also on 2 other forums - Panasonic and Beginners). Based largely on the excellent grass roots briefing from Mr irvcobb on the Panasonic Forum, and his recommendation of the 7" Zeepad 7.0 Allwinner A13 tablet (Amazon USA), I have ordered from Tabtronics (UK) a Quantum 7+ tablet with a 7", 1024 x 600 screen for £74.99 delivered (ca. $115).

Tabtronics have an Allwinner A13 for £49.99 delivered (ca $75) but they pointed out to me that for the extra money I could have a faster machine, higher screen resolution, more storage and the latest Jelly Bean operating system. They seem to have good reviews for knowledge and service, so I went along with them.

For those who know what it means, the following is the specification quoted. The bit that I understand the best is "Weight: 310 grammes" and that sounds pretty good to me.

The Tabtronics 7" tablets are at:

No doubt the tablets are generic and available under various brand names worldwide.

I'll write some more notes when I have got to grips with the new toy.
