Yes, it comes with a stylus but it doesn't attach to the tablet. However it comes on an unscrewable loop which can be attached to a keyring.

Hi all you may have noticed by my username that I may be the elder statesman on this forum. So apologies in advance for being a taker of information and not much of a giver.

Hi everyone. Had my Scroll tab for a day now and just starting to get to grips with it. However I have encountered a couple of problems as follows:
1. I do not have the "Market" icon and attempting to download apps from the market always results in a screen asking if I want to complete the installation using either the browser or market. If I select either it results in an unavailable message and the download does not complete. I have read the responses to similar problems posted in the forum and have tried all the solutions offered to no avail.
2. if I type an email too fast (an achievement in its self given the size of the keyboard) the email program freezes and I loose all my typing.
Apart from the above I am very pleased with the scroll considering the cost and look forward to learning more from the experts here.

Hi all.

Wife got me this for Christmas as we both have Desire phones, me the HD.

Other than the screen, its quite impressive. But you can't complain for this price.

I followed the manual and read all the posts here. Where or what is the "How to" that you refer to?
I have now sorted my problem as follows:
1. Navigate to settings
2. Press Applications
3. Press Manage
4. Find Market, Press it
5. Scroll down to find Uninstall Updates
6. Press Uninstall Updates

I don't know if this is always the solution but it fixed my problem.
:D

The how to is the guide for installing the market. At least you have fixed it now.

Hi Guys,

Just saying hi, name's Pete. I'm a bit of a gadget fanatic, got various toys, linux boxes, a mac and a w7 media center android fone etc. My wife complains bitterly cos I don't just buy things and use them , I fiddle with them and generally try to get stuff to do things they weren't supposed to do!

I bought a scroll a couple of weeks ago and have been tinkering with it since. Its great to see a forum for this device, looking forward to seeing more and more as user base grows. I'm particularly interested in upgrading to 2.2 (as I'm sure most are) :D So I can't wait to see what Merlot comes up with.

Thanks and great work!
