 Great for what it is Dec 15, 2010
By Jason Morse
First off, I'll apologize for writing a review after owning this tablet for only one night. I hate these kinds of reviews but I felt this needed at least one review from a real customer.
In my few hours with it last night, I downloaded and installed several apps on it from GetJar, including Facebook and Kindle. I also downloaded several apps from my PC onto a thumb drive and installed them onto the tablet from that, which was very cool. I visited several websites that had flash banners and they worked flawlessly. I was also able to play embedded videos on sites including youtube.com and my facebook news stream.
Pros:
- USB port - I plugged an 8GB flash drive in and installed apps from it.
- Micro SD slot - Haven't used it yet but plan to soon
- HDMI port - Haven't used this yet either but it's a great option
- Video looks great
- Very responsive when touching links or rotating display
- Browser is quick and displays flash
- Great price for the specs
Cons:
- Lack of good, working apps. For the A7, you get your apps from GetJar, instead of the Android marketplace. Some apps refused to install for me, like Angry Birds. Others installed but clearly weren't made to work on this size tablet. There isn't a netflix or skype app available (I was hoping to use the webcam with skype).
- Pinch-to-zoom doesn't work particularly well. Seemed to always go way too far in or out. You're better off just double-tapping.
- Scrolling - scrolling by sliding my finger seems to cause a lot of unintended clicks along the way. I think there's just a bit of a learning curve, being used to my ipod touch. It seemed to happen less as the night went on.
- The fixed buttons aren't backlit so at first it's difficult to use in the dark. You quickly figure out where they are and it's not that big a deal
- So far it's been hard to find any cases or accessories built for the A7
- I wasn't able to set up my yahoo mail in the default mail client. Instead, I installed the yahoo mail app, which is basically a shortcut to the mobile yahoo mail site, which works fine.
This purchase was for my wife, who wanted something like an iPad but at a size that fit in her purse. This is almost the exact same size as my 2nd generation Kindle (a little thicker). So far she's used it to quickly check and respond to things on Facebook, check emails and surf the web. Because of the speed and ease of use, it should supplant most of her laptop use, with the exception of sending long emails and working on speadsheets.
I trust there will be more and better apps for android tablets in the near future. It looks like there are A LOT of similar tablets hitting the market now. For me, this tablet looked like the best specs for the best price right now and I imagine it will be even more fun to use as new apps are made for it.

Great Tab for the price! Dec 19, 2010
By Craig118
Have had this device for 3 days now and I am more than impressed. This thing is blazing fast and very responsive. Sure there are issues but developer is releasing patch to address these by 12-24-12 according to their web site. Hopefully this fix will address the problems with wi-fi waking ,Nvidia drivers (not able to play angry birds.. etc). True the multi-touch and lack of market are a bummer, but what do you want for 300 bucks? So glad I did not spend double this price on a Galaxy tab that will be outdated in 6 months.
pros
-Fast, fast, fast
-Screen res is great for the specs
-Very responsive
-HDMI out is awesome
-USB and SD card media (Bite me Apple)
-rooted out of the box
-300 bucks!
- Jetflicks streaming on 7 inch screen!
-Flash player rocks (Bite me Apple)
-Great reader
Cons
-No Market (hopefully XDA developers will help with this)
-Wi-fi fails to wake from sleep (workaround available and patch coming 12-24-10)
-Nvidia drivers not up to date (patch coming 12-24-10)
-Not true multi-touch ( not an issue for me, I have no plans on making this into a gaming rig)
-Proprietary connector for dock (not a big issue since there is USB/SD card support)
-Menu buttons have no back lighting

 Great device - blows iPad away on speed Jan 14, 2011
By Matthew Therrien
Just got the a7 today and think it is a great device. Even with the original firmware - the device is blazing fast, more below, no WiFi issues and the pinch and zoom is adequate. Firmware Update - Version 2.0121 of 12/24 further improves pinch and zoom - which we will apply tomorrow - and update our review once done. XDA have an Android Market ROM so the a7 can gain access to Market.
Build quality is very sturdy - some have commented on its being plasticky - but it's a rubberized, non-slip plastic. Perfectly respectable.
We are certain that XDA will do Honeycomb in due course.
First off - we should say we are an Apple shop - iMacs, MacBook Airs, Minis and iPads - so when we say the a7 blows the iPad away on speed - we are not coming from an anti-Apple perspective. Quite the opposite. Example - loading cnn.com on the a7 fully rendered in about a half a second - the iPad 6 seconds.
1080p playback is super fast and very smooth.
Updated Review - 01/17
Just applied new firmware rev Version 2.0121 and then Version 2.0124.
Fixes all outstanding issues - improved pinch and zoom, better battery.
Awesome tablet - almost twice the Quadrant benchmark score of the Archos A70.

My impressions after two weeks Dec 28, 2010
By M. Buckley
I have had the Elocity for two weeks now. It features cutting edge specs(as of December 2010): The Tegra 250 dual core processor is the reference for the upcoming versions of Android; Capacitive screen; 512MB RAM; Android 2.2; Flash 10.1; USB port; bluetooth, etc. I We have had our share of frustrations in unlocking its' potential, which are common with these products when they are new. The improvements since launch are huge:
Elocity's firmware update fixed many issues including wifi, Angry Birds installation, and multi-touch pinch to zoom (although there is still room for improvement there).
XDA forum has made great strides with it as well including full Android Market access, Google apps including Gmail, Calendar, and Maps. Quadrant benchmarks are now up to 2400, which blows away any non-Tegra devices. I am loving this tablet more each day. The lack of backlit buttons is a little annoying when using in the dark, but I am memorizing their location. If you buy one, you really should visit the XDA thread to take full advantage of its' capabilities. [...]
I also posted a couple of videos of it on YouTube in case you are interested.
Is it the perfect tablet? No, but it has a lot going for it and if you want a tablet right now, it's a great choice that will be able to handle upcoming versions of Android.
As the developer community grows, this tablet is just going to keep getting better,too.

Best Tablet I have used so far!! Jan 28, 2011
By androiddude
I have to say I was a little wary of the product because of all the negative reviews but after using the product in my hands after trying a few other android tabs before this is the nicest one I have seen yet for the cost!
I think that the screen is awesome. Sure multi-touch is nice and if they said it has it then it should but I see that mentioned no where so I do not know what people were reading.
From a techy users experience though certainly no expert or geek the product works very well. I was able to connect the wifi from a home or business next door from where I work. Through our huge building to the signal. I have tried other devices including laptops and was never able to get a signal strong enough to use and I was able to download and install angry birds. Pretty cool! I have not had this unit very long but I know the Android interface and have had a few tabs in the past and this one is simply awesome.
Are there features to be improved on, will this be an ipad killer, I do not know but as it is now it is a great machine.
I think for the price they did this unit right. If you are a hardcore Android user and want all the bells and whistles then maybe you need to wait for Honeycomb but if you want a tab now and have seen what is available I think price vs value this is about as good as it is going to get.
I have just scratched the surface of what this tab can do and so far I am very impressed. Don't let the negative reviews fool you.
This tablet works well right out of the box and with a few enhancements will be pretty awesome. Go to the XDA developers forum and find out the Stream TV is talking with forum members to make it a better device and not leave it out in the cold as far as updates go and you have in my opinion the best tab available.
Galaxy is nice, Ipad is nice, Elocity is just as nice in my opinion and a few hundred less!!
I got mine at another tv networks website with 6 value pays! I am paying $50 a month for the next six months!! A god price and flexible payments with no interest!! So far I am a happy camper. I will update after a while but just wanted to give another positive review after reading so many not so positive.
