Update on the Chinese PIPO tablet. My son who repairs and builds computers for a living, ran into issues with it not recognizing or accepting some Android apps. Finally got an app that makes apps think this is a Samsung Galaxy... and it accepted all of them. Now he loves it. So.. if this kind of things happens to anyone, I can get the skinny on how to resolve it.
I had installed Torque Pro earlier with no issues, so that wasn't a problem. Also, even though this and many tablets aren't 3G, our Samsung phones can be used to access 3G or 4G and tether to the tablet. Thus you can stream Nascar or other things live when you don't have Wifi access.
Sometimes refurbished tablets can be bought cheaply and you can get more power for less!
