Hi first post here wasnt sure where to put it.
I am after a tablet for my 4 and 6 yr olds both keep pinching my smart phone for games and youtube etc.
I have looked at the Storage Options SCROLL-POCKET 4 as its similar size to phone and the right price too.
Any advice before I purchase two of these.
Thankyou in advance

If this is your first venture into android tablets then the chances are fairly high that whatever you buy you may wish afterwards you had saved your money for a different model.
The tablet market is in a state of fury with many manufacturers trying to take advantage of the Christmas fever by announcing their next new record breaker.
I am sure I don't need to tell you to be careful about hype - otherwise known as buy in haste and repent in leisure.
Chances are you may have already left it to late to choose an online bargain for Christmas as many importers actually increase their prices knowing there are plenty of people shopping for Christmas.
As a warning see this: viewtopic.php?f=29&t=3192#p25171

Regarding the Scroll Pocket, I don't think anyone on this forum has bought one yet and despite Storage Options pages having 16 buy here links, only the following four seem to be advertising them.

It is always difficult to advise someone what to buy for their children as you are the one who knows best what they will like. Certainly for £50.00 the Scroll Pocket loks like fun but only for those with good eyes that are comfortable with small screens. The Excel II is I believe better bang for your Bucks but will cost you more.

Lastly, a warning.... do be careful when browsing for Storage Options products as they have released many models that look almost identical but that are vastly different in specification and there are many sellers out there still shifting older models that the uninformed may mistake for a newer version.

Although, I don't like saying this and wish it were not the case, a read through some of the many posts on this forum will inform you how good or otherwise Storage Options support is. They also have a Facebook page which often displays many critical comments.

You might want to consider this. I bought one for my wife for Christmas and I am well impressed for the money.

Superb thankyou just the info I was after. A great reply. I had looked at Tablo 7 but was getting overwhelmed by the amount of tablets and reviews online. It is good to actually get someone who knows what they are talking about say 'I bought this its pretty good'. Ill keep you informed of what I get and how it works out.
Many Thanks again.
