All I want to do with this tablet is go on face book, play games, and look at email. Is it good enough for that?Thanks

You will need to download the Amazon Appstore and possibly other stores. The GetJar Store in inadequate

I have this tablet. Getjar is ok, Google play is not available for it to my knowledge. Most Amazon apps & games work. When you go to buy an app on Amazon, it will show you if its ok for your tablet, or not. Good Tablet for the price. Dont waste money on an sd card unless you want to transfer stuff from another source such as pictures, music, or pc files.

Yes indeed just get the facebook app from the app store free n ur emails n all dat good stuff tooo games etc but its a little slow.

look at emails is a definite, don't know about facebook. The games will depend on whats available on getjar as this is the only site from which to download to this tablet.

I just checked Amazon and the Facebook app is available, and free, for this tablet. I do not have facebook, but Amazon says it will work on the Kyros.

It's not a bad tablet; however, it's old already. I bought it sometime ago and I had to deal with the fact that it's not compatible with many popular apps nowadays. Mine stopped charging a few month ago and I assume it's because the circuit board the port it's attached to broke down. I would recommend a newer version.

The tablet is underpowered and has limited memory. May be good for Kindle book library, YouTube and such, but you're better off with something with a bit more power and durability. You get what you pay for, and the last thing you need is a device that fails and you've got all your notes on it. Oh, and get a device with a good mic and 32gbs of memory.

Having a BlackBerry phone to Bridge with the Playbook is like the icing on the cake, but it is not a must have option. It just gives the tablet a feature not found in others. I am not an email junkie since I don't have it Bridged all the time. I would say that most of the usage is browsing and watching online videos on Amazon, which it can do very well with the browser. If you have read a lot of the reviews, be aware that the new OS 2.1 has fixed a lot of the shortcomings of earlier versions. Cheers!

It's good for playing basic games that do not require a lot of RAM or CPU. It's not great for graphics-intensive games. Also good for reading goods, especially thanks to the SD card slot.

The Acer Iconia Tab is a tablet that runs on the android operating system instead of the windows (or mac) OS. If you have an android phone, the tablet will be more like your phone than your lap top. If you are going to be doing a lot of web browsing, social networking, playing app games, e-reading, e-mail, etc. the tablet is wonderful because it is easily portable (much more so than a lap top), lightweight (can easily hold it with one hand and use the other to click the touch screen) and you can use it at any hot-spot. However, if you are going to be using the tablet for office related business, like extensive word processing, spreadsheets, etc. You might want to stick with a lap top. There are office programs for android and they get the job done, but (at least from the ones that I have used) they are not as good as something like the Microsoft Office Suite. I personally use both a lap top and a tablet. I use my tablet for basic work related items like sending an email and the lap top when I will be doing hours worth of office work. For anything and everything else, I use my tablet!

Yes it is a perfect tablet for your mother. Although I would recommend buying a MicroSD card to go with it as it has little memory for music. But it is a great internet tablet for facebook and email and it is extremely hard to break. I even did a 3 story drop test and the screen wasn't broken.

Yes, it's great for those things. It's a bit big when compared to a laptop or tablet, so you may or may not enjoy moving it around often, but it works very well, I run all those apps you mentioned.

I returned this tablet shortly after I got it. It was poor quality & the seller was not easy to deal with. I would suggest in the strongest possible terms you spend your money on a better tablet. Good luck

Most likely, but this tablet does not have a lot of processing power, nor a lot of RAM to run processes. You'd have a better experience with a more advanced device.

I successfully downloaded apps (games) for kids. If sizes of cartoons or TV shows do not exceed the memory space available on the tablet it should be OK.

@Dorothy from my experience, this is a very good tablet to get. It's hard to find a tablet with these specs and this price point. The only thing I would warn you about is the charger. It can break easily but it is not cheap to replace(here's a link for a replacement if needed: http://www.amazon.com/2000mah-Adapter-Charger-Android-eReader/dp/B00AX3G36Y/ref=pd_cp_pc_0).

It's an Android™ tablet with the Google play store. So yes. The standard browser is extremely slow so I recommend downloading "Dolphin" browser. That is amazingly fast

I would have to say yes, although I'm just an art student, so I'm still in learning, however, even so, I do like this tablet. Especially because of the smaller version of the big 24hd. As an art student, I have to carry it for work to school and back, so it's perfect for me. Even for home I simply love it. It's comfortable to work on it on a table, or on your lap, or however you want. Good luck with your choice! :)

Yes but it won't have the highest performance. Good for web browsing and emails.

An update to Ice Cream Sandwich came out in the fall from Samsung. This tablet is great for my needs but may not be good for someone else. It boils down to what size is a right fit for you? I've not had a single issue with this tablet personally. Any problem I've experienced has been the fault of an app I'm using.

I play a lot of games on facebook and this computer works like a charm. I have downloaded book to the kindle app on this computer with no problem but I have no experience with tablets. I do love this computer!
