It's a trend for tablet instead laptop since iPad launch in 2010. It become more easy to get email, surfing internet or chatting with your friend especially when you on bed or toilet. And it's also a best media player because it built in nVIDIA Trgra 250 chip set. it's very easy to out put my movies or music to my new Samsung big screen smart TV over HDMI.
ViewPad10s is a good device and not need to spend much money to get one. But one problem is ... it is without GMS. The means it doesn't have google original applications such as GMail, Maps, Android Market...etc. After I search on Google, it's not only one which is without Google applications(such as ARCHOS.) and a trick may can open a bright way for my ViewPads!!!
It's really easy to install Android Market.
1. download patch file from here:
2. Save the file to your SD card and insert SD card to ViewPad10s
3. Launch it following the path: Setting> software tool> software update> choose the ZIP file.
4. System will be reboot and install it automatically. Waiting for procedure finish, it will reboot again!
5. Sometime the procedure may freeze or crash, try to press and hold power key for 10s~15s to power off your device. Try to copy the ZIP file to other blank SD and do it again.
If your device already die or can't boot, try to recovery whole system then try again.
