Pioneer Computers Australia Dreambook 7" tablet internet device & ebook reader

Please also give attention to item description as an honest seller on ebay we dont want you to except this is an Ipad

If you like to purchase one please click on make an offer button and enter $35 with a note saying "ozbargain"

GENERAL UPDATE:
According to comments on this listing We still believe its a great offer for ozbargain users , yes we know that its not fast as latest ones or an ipad of course, technology moved and our expectations are really high as well but please where can you get a photo frame with music player or a digital clock 7" or a calculator, Whats the cheapest price for Kindle? $35 you can use it as Kindle and on the side you can defiantly use it for other basic things as mentioned.

If we were advertised this from over $100 yes you right you can find much better ones when you pay quite a bit more but at this price its not a beatable offer or as promised we will beat any offer if you can find it cheaper.

Im glad that we are able to make any comment on this website regarding this item and thanking everyone who made comment negative or positive, in that case we understand what we are getting at this price and also please guys we are not BIG W and we will make sure look after our customers who made purchase from Has Clearance. As you can see from our feedback on ebay our customer service is great and we are still trying our best to provide better service also it has been proven by over 10.000 individual online shoppers by leaving positive feedback

Please read item description, FAQ provided by manufacturer, watch the video on listing and after you receive this product if its different than what you have paid for we will make a full refund in 7 Days when you return it back.

Thanks again for everyone who made a comment and purchased this unit

        That is a misrepresentation according to previous complaints on OB & Whirlpool!!!

        It is Android 1.6! Good luck running anything much on that.
        Pioneer's version number of the Android system is just called 2.1.
        CotD got caught out on that.

        "THis is not Anroid 2.1 ,its comintg with Anroind 1.6 and Software version Anroid 2.1 of Pioneer

        I had a fight with Pioneer support team about this and they still argue that Anroid 2.1 softare and Anroid software is diiferent

        This tablet is coming only with Anroid 1.6 and can't be upgraded also no flsh support and their youtube software is not working"

          Yes, its an unofficial Android version, "which kind of adds to the feelings of doubt about the OS’s legitimacy."

        I know not everyone can afford the smoother/lag free devices that android is on right now, but I feel it would really be money wasted.

        If I purchased an imitation Rolex that breaks within 3 months of purchase, I have still wasted my money regardless of how much I saved not buying a better product.

        No you have done your best to mislead customers. Advertising an Android 1.6 tablet as Android 2.1 is false advertising. No one cares about an internal firmware version number, have you ever seen a reputed phone or tablet manufacturer advertising their internal firmware version number as an Android version number ? 1.6 is an out dated version, nothing useful works on it, no flash, no YouTube and more than half of the apps wouldn't even install. Even very basic details like screen resolution and touch screen type (capacitive or resistive) are missing in your product description. You call this trying to explain everything you could??

      • ozhunter on 03/05/2012 - 17:02

          But isn't this is a resistive screen.

          I accidentally negged a great post because my 10" Android tablet had difficulty telling my finger was a few mm to the left of the neg box. Capacitive screens are not so good for precision screen location using a fat finger.

        Hey has.clearance,

        As a long term ozBargainer, its in our nature to make an offer. Now.. having bought a Zenethink ePad about a year ago, I can safely say it was not worth the $65 I paid for it. That was a 10' tablet, and had a 800mhZ ARM processor, and yet the dreambook, with a lower build quality, cheaper/lower clock speed CPU and half the RAM is sellng, a year later, for $49. I am more than happy to hand over $25-30 shipped if you are kind enough to give us OzBargainers the pleasure of a good service!

        How about it guys? $25 shipped? I think that's pretty fair :)

    The touch interface is extremely irritating
    I tried to return to big w even they didn't want it back
    I think even receiving this for free is a Liability

    Rule number 101 of bargains:

    "its not a bargain unless you wanted it in the first place"

    Was anybody contemplating buying this BEFORE they saw it was $35?
    The virtual unanimous opinion of Whirppool is that this is a frustrating piece of worthless junk.

      What the hell are you tripping on? Every 'real' bargain hunter knows what its like to have seen something they didnt want or know about beforehand, but bought it anyway on impulse because its a 'bargain'!!… ffs..

        Bargain hunter vs impulse purchaser = different beast.
        You just bought yours self $35 of nothing…

        Result: wallet is $35 lighter, advantage none.

    As above, I bought one on the second or third bargain post, and had to return it because it just stopped working after the first use. They are complete rubbish even if they work.

      I have one, bought as a book reader, gathering dust. The book reading apps didn't seem to work at first. Then they started working for no apparent reason. It was still rather frustrating to use due to the horrible touch screen, and it was still rather buggy (kept on complaining about the SD Card being unexpectedly removed whenever it went into power save). The main issue IIRC that the touch screen had difficulty telling the difference between a tap and a swipe.
