This website is outdated, and it’s confusing with smartq 7 and smartq v7, what is the difference?

Found this website selling the V7 at $259.99, and the customer service told me it is the latest version and it is in stock now.

Adam. Put an SD card in before loading Andriod. Don’t press any buttons while it loads. It works if you do that, but there are software restrictions. The internet experiance is a lot better and the music player is nice.

recieved my V7 on tuesday.

first impressions – i like ! it’s not the fastest thing on the planet, but all i want it for is reading ebooks and some sofa internet browsing.

so far just using unbuntu. android doesn’t work (crashes before it loads) – but JTshop have said working android should be released sometime this month. windows ce – well, why would you

seems to have good battery life (not used it that much) – start up from suspend (in ubuntu) is quick, something i wanted.

on screen keyboard now has hide option, so this problem from Q7 resolved.

i will probably use this for a year or so, until the MID market has more (faster) options, then upgrade.

all that said – i am more than happy with this as an ereader and sofa surfer !
