I always find it silly, when sorting Amazon search results by avg. customer review, that the top results are the ones with just 1-2 reviews and 5 stars. It's pretty unhelpful.

Agree. They should implement some sort of algorithm that takes the star count into account.

On another note: isn't it amazing that there even is such a thing.. A $99 tablet? This was unheard of five years ago.

But with only two reviews.

I see your point but I am just amazed at the rate technology is going that I can buy a fairly decent tablet for under $100. There are other ones that are even less but they seem to be generic brands and have lower ratings.

My point was simply that there's no statistical meaning in two reviews ... but I'm thinking about buying one!

No Anandtech reviews, but here's a few:

I think the average conclusion is that the device is OK, but if it cheap enough then it may be worth it.
