Rapid Tab's day 2

As I said before, it took nearly three hours to fully charge the tablets.  I spent some time trying to figure out how to use the tablets.  What I observed or experienced on the first day:
  • They aren't "out of the box" ready to use.
  • I was confused as where to begin. 
  • The tablets are easy to lose your way on. 
  • It took me several tries to set the clock and location. 
  • Wifi connection was in and out.
  • The camera is a web camera only and shoots only front shots.  It also is hard to center.
  • Tried to set up my Google account.  It kept taking me back to the Wifi choices page. 
  • On about the 10th try, I was able to sign in to my google mail - about ten minutes later, it is still trying to open.  I hope my battery lasts that long.  Can't perform any other functions while it is trying to load. 
  • Battery is lesss than 25% charged at 10:00 AM the next day. 
  • Kept accidentally hitting screenshot.
  • Gmail is still loading 4 hours later when I returned to my office.  Still not loaded.  The screen message says "Signing in...  I gave up!  
  • There isn't an easy way to trash something.
  • I will assign to some students next week...when I ever see students again.  STAAR testing next week BTW. 
  • Frustrating so far.
