1. I've had it since the first day
2. It is good for $200 but not even remotely in the same class as the iPad. I'll stick with my iPad and give it to my kid/wife.
3. The carousel implementation on the home screen is the least user friendly and worst solution I have ever dealt with on a tablet. Fixing that alone would make a huge difference.
4. Yes, I have rooted it. Prime Video doesn't work with a rooted device but that's not a big deal as Prime Video is useless (I love Prime though)
5. I put Slingplayer on it and with Netflix is has basically become a cheap and portable TV/reader for my kid. Overall that is probably worth the price.
6. I am not sure why anyone that can get an iPad would buy this as their only tablet

Again, for the price, good, maybe even great but nothing like an iPad.
