I also have the same problem below that a user on the Ebuyer forum posted - Need to sort out getting the right one now - shame as it was an xmas present for the Wife. Very sneaky from Storage Options to let this slip through:
Ordered the Scroll 3D and found out that I got the wrong product in the Scroll 3D box, was wondering if anyone else has the same problem?
Instead of having 4 GB storage it came with 2 GB.
Instead of 512 Ram it came with 316 Ram.
Up to this point I thought it would just be that the tablet takes up some of the resources.
Then I ran two different applications to make confirm what I thought was the wrong product and it turns out that the device I received has a ARM7 Processor in it. Not at all the product I ordered, which comes with a Cortex A8. I wouldn't have minded if the Cortex version wasn't significantly more expensive.
One of the applications I used to confirm this was SystemPanel Lite. Just download it from android market. Click menu, then device info.
Post a comment if you have the same issue please.

The cortex A8 is based on the ARMv7 processor and has the correct floating point for the cortex A8 which is VFPv3.
The A7 processors floating point is VFPv4.
So it appears to be the Cortex A8.
I have posted the question on the ARM Processor forum.

Thanks for this Bob, but what about it having incorrect amount of Ram and flash storage??
Do you think I have received the wrong tablet? Anything you can recommend me to check??

As far as the ram I would guess it to is right I have never seen a chip with 316 Ram.
My guess is that it might be 512 but without taking it apart I can't be certain.
As for the memory who knows it might be partly hidden for system resources, on this one your guess is as good as mine.

Just done a search on this 512mb ram , when it shows 316mb ram the rest is used for the video frame buffer as on some other electronic devices that I have found on various products i.e dream box and so on.

What lip sync issues are u having. I noticed it on iplayer but didn't notice it while watching something from my USB stick??
Is there a BBC iplayer app or is it just a link to the iplayer site.
Just hooked up the tablet to my tv via the mi I hdmi and was surprised how good it looked.

Mainly bbc i player which I watch regularly.
I don't think it is the scroll because youtube works fine. I have read on other forums people complaining about the android i-player apk not being up to scratch, so a I assume its the bbc to blame for the sync issue.
