Maylong M-150 universal android tablet

[janorton05]

I've been looking into tablets and have every intention of getting the galaxy s as soon as its available. I've also been searching for a cheap alternative just to use as a ebook reader for the massive amounts of java and android development books i have been downloading. I'm a walgreens employee and looking at my next weeks ad i found this android powered tablet on sale for $99.99. I can not find anything on the internet about this tablet though.

Maylong M-150 Universe Tablet PC Powered By Android | Walgreens

I do plan on buying it tomorrow for a ebook reader and i figured that i would practice hacking on it. Rather screw up a $100 device than a couple hundred. If anyone finds any info post up and I'll let you guys know how it works when I get it.

Maylong M-150

I ordered a Maylong M-150 today. I could not find much information about it but it has to be better than an Augen Gentouch 78 which was $149.00 and I tried 2 to get one that worked. None did.

Yeah i just placed my order as well. The best part is that if it sucks just hang on to the invoice and you can return it to walgreens within 30 days. I just wish i could find any information about the hardware. One hell of a deal though.

Here's a possible alternative to the Galaxy Tab if you don't need the 3G capability.

That flat computing one looks nice. I was going to order one of the Galaxy tabs for sure, but this one looks like it could fit the bill considering I only want it as a wifi unit. I will pay the no contract price for the galaxy if i have too. If the screen on it is as nice as the one on the fascinate it would be fantastic.

Android 1.6....resistive touch screen....256 mb ram....

It may be worth it if you are looking for something very basic.

For $100 bucks, doesn't look half bad. For those that are going for it, keep posting. I would be interested to hear how well it actually works.

Over on Xda Themiddie found out that stats were incorrect

"256RAM

Android 2.0

Network/USB dongle for potential 3G

Runs Youtube great and has same e-reader as Samsung.

The website link is correct" - Themiddie

"M150 Universe Tablet PC Features" -tecjunkie

these are the correct stats. sweet that it actually has 2.0.

I really know next to nothing about this tech stuff. I was hoping you all could help. I saw the maylong m 150 tablet in walgreens salespaper and wondered if you could download movies to it to watch. I am looking for something thin to watch movies on while on a treadmill. Could you download from netflix to this tablet?

I'll let you all know what I find out soon enough. Just got the UPS shipment notification from Walgreens, although UPS doesn't have tracking info yet.

They sure do take their sweet time getting this thing shipped. I still haven't received my shipping information yet. It should play movies though, it says it has a movie player.

Just ordered one

I ordered one a couple hours ago. I am ordering as a test unit with a possible elementary school use in mind so the "no camera" and the "no market" issues are not important to me. If it can view the web, be used as a reader, and play minimal media files I will be happy.

Just testing capabilities and I know that the units we end up with will be far different from this one.

I just can't see spending the $$ for iPads or Galaxies when we only need a small subset of the capabilities.

My "real" tablet will come later after this first generation sorts itself out.

I ordered one yesterday. I did the expedited shipping but haven't gotten any shipping notice yet. I'm excited to get it and try it out! I noticed they changed the will ship within 2 day to will ship in 7 days today....I'm hoping that my order will ship within 2 since I ordered it yesterday when I was still showing that when I ordered it.

I will post my review once I get it. I'm not a techie by any means...just your average mom that wants to read email and surf the net before I nod off to sleep So I think it should work fine for my needs - I hope!

:welcome: to the forum, KellBell!

Yes, as a non-tech-inclined person your views of this device would be most useful. I know I'm looking forward to seeing what you think!

I ordered mine on saturday and got my shipping info from ups wednesday. I had called to see what was taking so long and they need a few days for processing apparently. Not the quickest but hopefully it will be worth it.
