TNT Lite takes about 15 minutes to install and it is far superior to the Tap n' Tap yet still has the look of the stock ROM's "classic" view. It is a pretty painless install if you follow the directions.Personally, I couldn't get past the poor screen. I sold mine within a week.

Go to this site for information http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=841. The Tap N Tap software is slow and while it looks nice it uses far too many resources that could be better utilized to power the apps. The developers such as those at xda really do a good job of taking advatage of alot of the hardware in the g tablets. There is alot of information so use the search for subjects you are concerned with most forums have easy to follow instructions and descriptions of what you gain from changing the ROM and why and if you might want to do such things. Once you have one of the "custom" ROMs you will have full access to the Android Market place. Go to this site for information http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=841.

Go to XDA, and search for the enhancement pack. It will install the market without changing the stock rom. The latest 3588 stock rom when run in classic mode is pretty solid and fast.

Tap n' Tap has usability issues, although there is a rumor that Viewsonic is pushing out another update currently. You will not get access to the actual Android market without flashing a different ROM (basically, a layer on top of Android much the way Tap n' Tap is).

An extremely detailed guide for installing a ROM and everything else you will need can be found by googling the phrase "sticky guide install clockwork" and clicking I'M FEELING LUCKY. If you follow that guide EXACTLY as it's typed, you'll find this tablet to be everything you could want, and more. I can't list the link itself, as it is against Amazon rules to use outside links. DO NOT STRAY FROM EXACTLY WHAT THE GUIDE SAYS!

Personally, I don't use Tap N Tap's main screen, I use the base Android widget grid, and the current release works fine. A 3rd party ROM might be faster, but I don't have any complaints about speed at this point.I loaded up Amazon Appstore instead of a hacked Google Market, and have been able to find apps there very successfully, though the selection isn't as broad as Google's yet.

Love mt GTAB totally worth the money once you modify it. You can get full market access. As others have said visit XDA Developers. I'm running VegAN Gingerbread RC1 and I'd put my tab against a XOOM or iPAD any day. Super fast, stable, beautiful screen resolution, tons of apps and it just insanely rocks! Plus it only cost $279 as opposed to $599+ Definitely more bang for the buck!

I'm running Calkulin+Clemsyn 1.5ghz Combo V6. It's Froyo, but everything works, including hardware acceleration, and it's wicked fast. I did downclock mine from the 1.5GHz to 1.4GHZ as my gtab's CPU couldn't handle it.

Truthfully, I cannot get Google Play Store to work ( even though it's a "google" tablet) . I have downloaded all of my apps rom "SlideMe" which works great -- I can watch movies on Netflix, watch "youTube", download and read from both NOOK and KINDLE apps - I SKYPE and , of course, email and internet search.. Since I can do everything I want with it when I'm away from home -- the Google Play Store doesn't bother me -- but if you can find someone to make it work - I would be interested in just knowing how..

install aptoide market and you should be able to find an app for reading e-pub books. and you should know that this device is really laggy, as long as you stick to general use you should be fine, don't even try to use flash player in the browser. it does not have the horsepower for it, and the best browser for this tab is at m.opera.com get the mobile phone version of the browser not the mobile tab version because it cannot handle flash. You can also use opera mini and it is a bit faster but it is not as compatible with most websites, avoid the stock browser at all cost.

My favorite market for this tablet is Amazon AppStore. You will get more apps there that actually work on this tablet. Yes, there are various workarounds that will let you put Google Play Store on the Coby but because this tablet doesn't come with a licensed version of Play Store, many apps there are not set up for this device. Go with Amazon.

U have 100% access to android market were as nook only allows u allow barnes n noble apps which is kinda slim an very few apps. Turn off your tablet install your n2a card ,power up n it instantly boot up in fulll android mode. I would highly recommend this product,well worth the money.

Back when I bought this tablet it was not recognized on Google App Market or Android Market so I wasn't able to download the Netflix App to this tablet, without the app Netflix won't work. So I would have to say NO.

It has Google Play Android Market inside, you can search Taiwan TV applications and install. And we can pre-install one application with Taiwan channels for you if you need.

Update to Jellybean...Who knows. Android is not consistent with updates. But who really cares. If you keep waiting for the next "big" update you'll never buy anything. It comes with 4.1 I believe and works just fine. The update itself if really simple. It just does it pretty much all by itself and is free. Nothing to worry about. Just use the tablet and enjoy.

As mentioned in my review, this device does not include Google Play. There is more than one video tutorial explaining how to get access to it, but I couldn't figure it out. I think I have the files on the tablet, but can't understand what to do with them! All of my downloaded apps came from Amazon.

Actually if I were you buy the new NVIDIA Shield Tablet, it is better than this one and NVIDIA has really learned from the Tegra Note 7 such as better build quality and speakers. Plus, you have the NVIDIA Hub and so forth. I hope this will help in your decision I just bought the new Shield Tablet myself and it has been so far a great tablet.

Excuse me, but do I use the google translation program.What was meant, I'm A Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 have to facilitate the tap but I bought the Logitech board that an American keyboard pronounced "qwerty" has with which I do not clearly come, because I'm used to only the EU "qwerty". Hence the reason for my return.Again, thank you and sorry for the translation

It's an android OS so you just download from the play market just like an android phone. Some games are free, some are paid.

Don't get this phone, trust me, it isn't worth the hassle. Email me brighamray55@gmail.com for further questions. First off, the phone may or may not work when it gets to your house. Mine did but it has a dead pixel in the corner that really bugs me. The os is smooth, until you try to run most applications. The MTK soc is poorly optimized by developers, which means most games will not run smoothly. They said the device will get kit Kat, in May, still doesnt have it. Customer support is awful, good luck getting anywhere with them. The camera sucks really bad, most pictures don't turn out. Conclusion, buy the motto g 2nd gen, that phone is guranteed android L which will double its battery life. That phone actually possesses a camera that can shoot and contains an soc highly supported by developers so most everything on Google play runs amazing. Trust me when I say, get the moto g.

It is not called google play on here..it is called 1market..that's where you get the apps from but it looks jus like play store and app market
