Velocity Micro T301 Cruz 7-Inch Android 2.0 Tablet (Black) review

Since a couple of days, I was looking out for a faster, more responsive, and a vibrant tablet that would serve our daily computing purpose. It should be providing a robust support for the multiple functionalities, especially for some heavy and fancy applications and I found a newly introduced tablet from Velocity. A smart and efficient device with all the productive features just like a high end netbook is absolutely impressive. Velocity Micro T301 Cruz 7-Inch Android 2.0 Tablet is appreciated by many users and experts, so far, it has received overwhelmingly good comments for its performance, design and significantly for its price.

The Peaky

Android-Based OS and abundant storage

• Velocity Micro T301 Cruz Tablet implements the Android OS which is quite  easy-to-use, powerful, and reliable operating system from the development team at Google. It is especially designed for touch screen devices like the Cruz tablets. Android helps you to manage your programs with a vastly intuitive interface with ease and comfort.
• The Velocity Micro T301 Tablet offers 4GB internal storage which is expandable via either USB or SD card slots. You will find a 4 GB SD card included in the package with the device.
• Now you can store a range of media files and heavy applications thanks to the massive storage capacity of Cruz.

Digital Entertainment and other applications

• The package includes Kindle app that offers over 700,000 eBooks for quick and easy download via any WiFi connection, allowing you to pack number of books for a week long get away and that too without being a burden on your suitcase. Moreover, it’s all in color which is more pleasing!
• It provides support for ePub, PDF, TXT, PDB, and HTML reader files. These apps allow you to read the prominent ebook formats as well like Kindle, Nook, etc. Though given the plentiful ebooks that use the major three standard formats that are mentioned above, I personally think that the lack of support for these formats is unacceptable for any reader.
• You can now bring your favorite movies in a flight. You need not carry your portable DVD player or laptop that supports MPEG-4 and H.264 video formats. Cruz does it all or you! You can listen to your favorite tracks in MP3, WMA, AAC, or WAV formats or even share images of your friends or of last vacation with JPEG, GIF, PNG, and BMP support.
