Pandigital Review


Whats going on everyone, its J.Cool here bring you our first technological review of the year. I'm going to give you the breakdown of the product, the benefits and the draw-backs. Here we go!

Now, if your up to date with "Ebook Readers" you know their the new big thing. Every company is trying to emulate Microsoft's IPAD. The DNA is simple, a device usually 6-8 inches in height, a little over 10pounds in weight that has the ability to read ebooks. [ which can be magazines, comics and actual books." watch videos, listen to music and search the web. The IPAD has been the most succesfull with presenting this product, and I really fell bad for the Pandigital because it keeps getting compared to something that it just can't compete with.


The Pandagital does the same thing the IPAD does, in a very weaker, less futuristic and slower way. Which is expected because the products is selling anywhere from $129-179, which I think is a little to much for the product, and plus the IPAD can run you anywhere from 400-600 dollars. You can read anything from magazines, ebooks , PDFs and comics. The reading experience is decent and workable. Unlike the "7" inches pandagital the "9" inch comes with four buttons, which allow you to go to the home screen, go back and forth between book pages and go to the specific menu of any program your using, which is a MAJOR upgrade. The Internet speed is 2g at best, and the wireless connection takes a very strong signal to connect. I also had to clear my browsing history to keep the speed up. The video viewing software is somewhat slow, and is  a major drawback as it slows up for a mini second then speeds up.


For 120 - 179 you really can't go wrong. The Pan digital provides the same thing as the IPAD but in a slower form.
