ARNOVA 10b G2 10-Inch Android 2.3 Tablet PC Features

The ARNOVA 10b G2 is yet another 10-inch tablet PC that comes at a very competitive price. There is 4GB of storage on board. There is a 720p front camera which is all too easily covered by your hand when you are holding the ARNOVA 10b G2. The tablet comes into its own where media is concerned, supporting a wide range of formats and having good apps. However, the plastic finish is not the most attractive you have seen in a tablet by some margin.

ARNOVA specialises in low-cost tablet PCs, and so the 10b G2 hits its mid-range spot. With a ten-inch screen, 1GHz processor, and Android 2.3 on board, initial impressions on the specifications front are positive. Android 2.3 rather than 4.0 is present, but to be fair, this is not a great disaster. Android 2.3 also does a good enough job for you.

Turning the ARNOVA 10b G2 on for the first time will show the giant 10.1 inch touchscreen display in all its glory, sporting a fruitfully crisp 1024 x 600 resolution. Although users do take in to consideration the budget nature of the device, you are still satisfied by the clarity of its display. It is big enough for fairly comfortable web browsing and watching videos. The large screen is fine for doing email and other day-to-day activities, the ten-inch screen makes sure browsing the web is an enjoyable experience. At just 12 mm thick, your ARNOVA 10b G2 is very hand-friendly tablet, it is not too heavy either.

The AppsLib applications store is present, and that has thousands of apps on offer including a good range of favourites. It is not the same as having Google Play on board, but at least it is something and a pretty good something.

The powerful processor combines with its open GL 2.0 technology, allowing you to play your 3D games happily. You can make your ARNOVA 10b G2 a great Android games console by downloading your favourite games from the Appslib apps store. You can download Flash application to experience the full web with flash games and videos. There is 4GB of built-in storage and that microSD card slot can be used to expand this.

You can stay connected with your family and friends with the front camera, you can even use video chat over Wi-Fi or 3G. However, video chat application is required, and may not be compatible with all video chat tools.

You can make use of your ARNOVA 10b G2 to create and edit Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint compatible documents. ARNOVA adds a range of document, slideshow and spreadsheet editors available to download on AppsLib. However, Office editing applications available are not all free applications, and may not be compatible with all document editing software. With the microSD card slot, you can boost the internal storage and transfer files easily. Additionally, you can also access USB sticks, just plug in a USB flash drive in the USB host slot / via the USB host cable. This means yet more memory expansion and the ability to read documents or media from either format.

The ARNOVA 10b G2 is also compatible with the ARCHOS G9 3G Stick (sold separately) via the micro USB cable (not included with G9 3G Stick nor with tablet). With no provider restrictions, all you need is to slip a data SIM card into the stick, plug it in the USB port which also doubles up to accept a 3G dongle, enabling you to browse the web at 3G speeds, meaning speeds are generally faster than Wi-Fi connections.

The powerful 1GHz processor and 512MB of RAM have no problems when playing HD files up to 1080p on the device. With support for full HD playback, the tablet is a useful tool for watching video on the go. Plenty of video, audio or photo formats are supported in ARNOVA 10b G2, no conversion software is required.

Overall, the ARNOVA 10b G2 is a great tablet PC for all kinds of activities from web browsing and watching movies to eBook reading and sending emails. It is a great portable HD media player. The device is built for entertainment and performs well in this department. The large screen alone ensures that games and videos will play as you would like them to and the processor does a good job of keeping up with intensive entertainment activity. Only the battery may get in the way of long periods of media use.
