Game over for me....last night, on one of the presentations, they said it was an 8 hour battery life....today its really 4 to 6....cs said up to 5 hrs....I have two other tablets that have a battery life of 8 to 9 hours....I expected that with this LePan....

I was just going to click summit order when I heard Kirsten say the battery life...I then called cs to make sure....and I backed out of my order....whew...glad I caught that...I would have been very disappointed once it was here....

The FAQ tab says the following:

Q: How long will a battery charge last?
A: The battery lasts up to 5 hours. However, this varies depending on how you use your tablet

The only time I ever use a tablet more than 2 hours at a time is when I am on a long trip. For the casual user in the home, 5 hours is enough. I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab but I got this for my house-bound niece.

Re: LePan mini tablet sales rep

For someone who never has used a tablet, is the TSV a good deal?

No cheap tablet is a good deal.

I watched at midnight and thought he seemed bored. Maybe he's just nervous.

Re: LePan mini tablet sales rep

There's a young woman on with Jaquez right now and she's very good. The sales rep last night kept going off on boring tangents. Jane would ask him why we should trust the LePan name and he couldn't give a solid answer. She also tried to ask him the significance of the Google Play aspect and he went into a super technical discussion of connectivity to the Google platform. He was just not targeted in his presentation.

I complain about hosts as much as the next person, but one thing they've got down is how to give a presentation and hit the high points in an understandable manner. They also facilitate the discussion and keep it relevant. Last night Jane had her hands full with that rep.

I am not watching now (4pm Eastern Time hour), but the young woman might be Melissa Dawson, who used to sell prepaid cell phones and other electronics on HSN. See another thread on this Electronics board called Melissa Dawson Presenting LaPan (sic) Tablet. I thought she did a very good job on HSN.

I tend to agree with you about the male presenter for LePan, who I saw during the midnight show, but maybe he is new to on-air work. Melissa Dawson has years of experience in the TV sales business.

Please provide documents and reviews by yourself of all the "cheap" tablets you have actually used, including this one. Otherwise your opinion is worthless. LePan is huge in the euro markets. You must use an ipad. Let me give you some advice. You take out the worthless retina display which is just a gimmick, and oh boy, SAME THING.

You're an idiot. I have 2 devices with retina display and 2 that don't. The difference is significant.

Okay, so just for kicks, William Joseph, why don't you put Pan Digital into the search field on the top left of this community forum. Make sure you select "search all community" above the search field. Then hit search....you will then see post after post of product problems.

Then, if that is not enough to keep you busy, do a google search..put in the search field La Pan Pandigital. Hmmmm? What results come up?? Bunch of problems because people bought a cheap tablet.

Lastly, how many times do people on the board need to tell you...Apple is not the SAME THING.

The presentations are definitely geared toward "beginners" and children. However, nothing is more frustrating than trying to learn something new on a device that doesn't perform well. Albany just now said and Melissa agreed that this tablet was made specifically for QVC.

Thats the worst part, the fact that someone who is new to technology will buy something like this. It is cheap, and will at some point need something done to it to make it work. (if it even works in the first place) The new person isn't going to know what to do, they will get frustrated, and then continue to shy away from technology.

Its a shame because technology is awesome, and in many ways can make life very enjoyable and entertaining. Technology shouldn't be hard or frustrating to understand. But if I were to get something for someone new to this technology, it would be something that works.
