I was able to revive the apad. I let my battery drain completely which made the unit shut off by itself. Once I turned it back on it seemed as if it didn't work but after a few seconds it was fully working again. The upgrades in firmware etc sounds great but I am way scared of even trying to play around with this too much. I will only use it when I am traveling etc. I don't think it can take much more than that. I like the size of it compared to the Ipad. This size is perfect for traveling and taking with you in your bag, it has great potential but it is just too fragile in terms of software. Would love to see a tablet of this size developed fully.
