Menards: Polaroid PMID10C 10.1" tablet $129.99: 8GB internal memory, dual cameras 1 GHz

[quietstorm354]

Is this one made for tablets or is it a fullsize one. I looked up online and all I saw were fullsize ones. I'd like to get one for tablets so it is portable.

Check Amazon. I got a cover with a usb keyboard & stylus for under $13. It's portable.

Thanks for the info. I bet the Menards on is a full size one.

Not sure if anyone is interested in this but I found 90 degree type a and type b 2.0 USB adapters which are needed if you want to use a USB keyboard case. All the plugins are on the bottom on the pmid10c which makes it difficult to plug the keyboards USB cable into it. The company is L-com. Check this out http://www.l-com.com/item_mobi.aspx?id=23156 Be sure to order the type 1-exit so it points toward keyboard when plugged in. Also I went all over looking for a keyboard case and found they are $70-$90 in stores. I found a ton of them on Amazon for like $5-$25. I'm not kidding! You do have to add shipping on but some vendors offer free shipping if order is $25 or more. I am ordering three cause I bought 3 Polaroid pmid10c, one for me and one for each of my college kids. BTW.... I just bought mine at menards for $129+taxunda yestetday. They are on sale I think till Sunday. For the price how can you go wrong, especially what my kids will use it for. I will try the instructions you have here for Google store. Has anybody figured out how to get netflix to work. Maybe I missed it reading through the thread. Thanks to Single dad and Dawieg for all the effort and info. I am new to all this and very illiterate when it comes to computers so I won't attempt anything alone but we all were babies once right. If I understand correctly.... I don't want my tab to be "bricked".

Once you do the Framework update from Southern Telecom the Netflix will work. I have had no problem. Othewise, if you are still having problems, look earlier in the thread on page 3 or 4 I believe. Someone posted a link for an older version of Netflix that works. Good Luck!

Ok, FRUSTRATED!!! bought an SD card, it won't mount on either tablet and is saying the card is damaged! Anyone had this issue?

Mine works fine. Have you tried to reformat your SD card on your computer yet? Do that and then try to put it into your tablet. If the SD card does not work in your computer, then you will know that you have bad cards!

It's not a mini keyboard, but not quite as big as some of the full size keyboards either. I would say it's more toward a fuller size.

Thanks for the info. I think I better look for one specifically for a tablet computer.

I have a thread that links to a site with a great selection of case keyboards USB type 10.1" 9.7"...

merry christmas to me??

So I just got this for christmas and needless o say i am way intimidated by this device. it is my first ablet and i am not sure what to do andnot do. i am posing from yhis ablet so please excuse mispelling/grammar errors. i am not very technology 'advanced' so i willl need instructtions like a second grader lol. The only typeof device i am usedto is the iphone/ipad, so this is completely forgein to me. the only thing i have managed to accomplish is downloading the netflix that was menioned ealier in the thread. just to let everyone knowi have not had any wifi issues or battery issues (though i managed to think i charged it but i was plugged into the headphone jack, whoops lol). also i am having issues with amazon app store so idownloaded the market app store and so far ok. anyway, any advice or stuff i have to do to make this first tablet of mine impress me? remember ifyou tell me anything to do with downloading/changing anything you must talk to me likea kid lol.

Email app not working

Does anyone know why Email just says Unfortunately Email has stopped working?
I have tried several times to set it up. Is there a fix for this or is there a problem with the tablet?
Thanks!

We found that by going into email from the app section it would allow setup. It seems that we can't use the widget without problems

Thanks for the suggestion above, we had tried that already.

accelerometer problems with PMID10C

Has anyone experienced problems with rotating the tablet from landscape to portrait? the table will not stat in portrait it keeps flip-flopping its orientation.

I have not had that particular problem at all and I have worked with 5 of these particular tablets. How is your connection to the internet, and are you able to get flash on any websites to run? I am going to install Elektrik's rom on one of mine tonight to see if I can get mine to actually work...

Also, another thought, there is an OTA update available for these. Did you do the update? I haven't noticed anything significant after doing the update, but it does state that it repairs minor bugs which could be what you have going on. Worth a shot anyway.
