Impression I10
# Many issues I don't like this tablet. ## Market problem ### No Android Market / Google Play It doesn't have Android Market nor Google Play officially. Of course it can unofficially be installed, but that doesn't fix the compatibility of applicaltions. ### Amazon Market [Leader International INC], the author of this tablet, suggests installing Amazon Market in one of the papers which come with this device. This has a problem that you must give credit card details even with free applicaltions. I don't want to give my credit card details just to get free applications! ### [F-Droid] F-Droid is the solution for this problem. It describes itself as "an easily-installable catalogue of FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) applications for the Android platform.". #### Application compatibility I am experiencing many issues with different applicaltions on this tablet. Luckily [F-Droid] clearly tells where the issue trackers and homepages are. I will list them in them in table below

Why "Fix in [F-Droid]"? It's the only market, which I have found correctly working on this device. ## [ADB] logcat doesn't work. 1. I have plugged the USB cable. 2. USB debugging reports to be on. 3. Device detects the cable. 4. I have tested [ADB] with another device and it worked. It's good that at least [alogcat] works. I haven't tested other features of adb yet. What happens when I run it? Nothing as you can see below. ``` % adb logcat * daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 * * daemon started successfully * - waiting for device - ``` # Something works :) ## Games I tried installing some [games from F-Droid] and for some reason they all work. Below there is another table of games which I installed and what I thought about them.
Game Status
[Andor's Trail] I am lost. I should go to "storage cave" and I cannot find it. There are too many caves and the nearest one was empty.
[Chess Walk] I keep losing...
[Dots'n'Boxes] I didn't read the description and thought that this was just X and O game, but was surprised by it being in German and I didn't understand anything.
[GL Tron] I keep losing in this too...
[Taps Of Fire] Maybe I am a little better on this than [Frets on Fire], but I am bad in this.
[Vector Pinball] My new favourite Android game :D
