hey I'm Donnell Bell today we're taking a first look at the May long m150 Android tablet also known as the $99 Walgreens tablet in full disclosure we paid closer to one hundred and thirty dollars but really this thing is a bad value no matter what you pay for it it may look like an offspring of the iPad and the Galaxy Tab but this unfortunate thing is a bait-and-switch in every possible way the button on the front looks like a home button but it's actually a back key the app market on the menu takes you to a clearinghouse of free apps that no one wants the clunky resistive display on the front is covered with a worthed plastic and if you want to get anything done you're best off using the included stylus all of the icons for the stock Android 1.6 apps have been given a pointless makeover just - ugh things up and if you want to sync this back to your computer good luck the port on the bottom here that looks like a dock connector is actually there to work with this included adapter which adds two USB ports and a feature we've all been asking for an Ethernet port that's right you can Ethernet port but you don't actually have a way to USB sync this over to your computer and transfer content instead the best you get is a micro SD card slot that allows you to add media also on the bottom you'll find speakers a headphone jack and the power adapter socket that works with the included wall wart just don't lose it because we'll be recharging this every few hours even if you're just doing some light web browsing the bottom line is that this thing's more trouble than it's worth and it's also a case study and how these kinds of budget Android tablets can be disappointing if you're shopping around is $100 to $200 price range a newer used iPod Touch is going to deliver an infinitely better experience though with a smaller screen so there you go that's the Walgreens tablet demystified if you spot one in the wild or something like it I would steer clear no matter how good a bargain see serious calm on bail
