I picked up one of these tablets for 55 sterlings last week...any advice on how to get the best out of it would be welcome.

i am aware it is pretty low end, hardware wise, but my aim was simply fast enough to play with, average battery life, good size and strong wireless strength. All of which seem fine and dandy for the price....

well, if you can, you might update the OS to the 4.2.2 version

Can you root these kinds of tablets?

My Android phone is rooted, I get an average of 35% increased battery life compared to non-rooted; the system is substantially faster as well.

I've got little to no idea of rooting or upgrade options, although I'm interested in learning more.

Already ordered a 32gb micro sandisk sd but won't receive it until back in England near the end of June. The rapid5 seems okay, obviously not as nippy as a tablet with stronger hardware, but still good enough to browse, read and write emails.

As for the os, maybe it's stuck at 4.1.1? Tricky to find much support for this model since it's a cheap n cheerful option which most people avoid.

Any ideas you guys can offer will be greeted with enthusiasm and gratitude.
Cheers,
