Flash support means you get the whole web, not just part of it
PC Pro I have a question. Which tablet doesn't give you the whole web?
I'm sure it can't be your A-listed iPad 2.

The iPad 2 is on the A list because it's currently the best tablet available, not because it's perfect in every way. Now stop whingeing.

Only tablet with 1024x768 on an 8" screen?
Cube U10GT
RockTouch RT8
Ramos W12HD
Onda Vi30
Sysbay S-MD09
To name but a few (unknown in the West) brands.
And these are just the ones with Cortex A8/A9 core processors and decent GPUs.

On closer inspection
This looks like a rebranded U10GT. See pictures in the page below:

Tablets giving you the whole web... erm none do :(
I just boguth a Samsung Tab 10.1 and it doesn't currently support silverlight or Java applets so you can't use Partypokers in browser player nor any silverlight sites for example.
This is with Firefox,Dolphin, Opera Mini and the built in browser. This is probably a limitatin of Android rathe than that model, but seriously annoying!

Poor Customer Service Systems
Just bought one of these; too early to say if a good buy. However, dealing with Jexaa has been a nightmare. Not delivered next day as promised, no tracking details sent for attempted delivery following day (as promised); wrong address on parcel, so refused at that address, and on it's way back to Jexaa before I managed to find out what had gone wrong. They just didn't seem to care. You have been warned!

Very Very Poor Customer Service
I would like to add my Customer Service (lack of it) comment to this. I bought a tablet from these guys and it took 5 days to arrive. It did not have the software that it needed to work installed on it and Jexaa have ignored all my contacts to get this fixed. I have returned it - so far no money back, no replacement tablet - and total silence from Jexaa. I even contacted Josh Cohen (MD/Owner) - no response. AVOID these guys.

Jexaa offer absolutely no customer support
When working I found this tab to be ok apart from the touch screen that was at best erratic.
However when real problems developed with the tab it would not turn on at all.
Jexaa offered initial help but when tab was returned they when silent and support ceased. After 3 months they returned tab unrepaired claiming it worked fine! Six months on I am still getting nowhere fast with these rogue traders.
DEFINATELY AVOID THESE CONMEN AT ALL COSTS.

non existent customer service from jexaa
I bought a hybrid tablet pc from jexaa costing me £400.00, i developed problems with it, they sent it back to the manufacturer in china to rectify it, as per the telephone conversation with them when I finally could get through, they were returning it to me unrepaired, i have been waiting for over a week and have tried to email and call numerous times, I even posted a message on facebook which they have removed. I am taking the legal action route as they are not complying with the consumers act of 1979 (amended) but would like to warn people to avoid these traders at all costs, it has been a very stressful and unnecessary experience.

Help with weak wifi connection
I got a JexTab 812HD for xmas and when I turned it on I was very pleased with the HD screen and the touchscreen however when I tried to connect it to my wifi it would say 'out of range'. I'v realised that I can only use it in the room in my house where the router is. As soon as I'm outside that room it disconnects. I've been trying to contact Jexaa but I'm assuming they are still on christmas holidays as I haven't had a reply. Not really sure what to do as there is no point me having a tablet that can only be used in a 2 metre square room. All other wifi devices in my house work everywhere in the house so I know it is the tablet that is the problem. Has anyone had the same issue? I'd love to keep it as long as this can be sorted.

Do these people actually exist?
I bought an earler model in August. It arrived the following day but was missing the adaptor that gives two USB ports and a network connection. I managed to speak to Josh Cohen. one of the directors of Jexaa after about a week of trying. His comment was that a number of that model were lacking the part but he would put one in the post. This didn't happen and follow up emails have been ignored. Bad decision on Jexaa's part as word will get around soon enough to the effect that dealing with these people is not recommended. Another forum suggested that they are simply crooks. Whatever, they should be avoided like the plague.
