Yes its not an ipad nor a super fast tab but might do some people

The Disgo 6000 Wi-Fi 7" Tablet is a great way of watching and listening to your multimedia content on the move. Its ultra-thin and lightweight design packs in a bunch of heavyweight features which won’t weigh you down, and with storage upgradable to 4GB, you’ll have no shortage of space.
This tablet uses the Android 2.1 operating system, which was developed by Google and is used in many of the most popular smartphones. Android is fast and intuitive, making it easy to scroll through screens and enjoy your multimedia content. It also gives you access to thousands of free and paid-for apps on the Android Market, so you can personalise your tablet and fill it with lots of useful applications and fun games.
Some of the most popular applications come pre-loaded onto the Disgo 6000 too, so you can connect to Facebook, YouTube and Twitter as soon as you’ve connected to a Wi-Fi network. You can search the web at speed thanks to the tablet’s 1GB processor, and web pages look completely sharp on the Disgo 6000’s 7” screen.
Films and music will both look and sound good on the Disgo 600, and you can play Android games downloaded from the net. There’s plenty of room for all your stored content with 2GB of onboard storage, plus a built-in microSD slot and a 2GB microSD card supplied with the tablet, allowing for a maximum memory capacity of 4GB.

Not as good as an iPad. There, I said it, that's it done, doesn't need to be mentioned again. Now everyone can comment on the actual product without having to make silly comparisons as it has already been elaborated upon.

Now, back to the product....

Looks great for the price, anyone know what the viewing angle is like from about 45 degrees? Thinking that it might make a cool in-dash computer

I bought one of these off ebay recently for £25 to use purely as an ebook reader. the software it comes with is terrible and the lack of market will be dissapointing to some but if you are willing to do some research there is a lot you can do with this.
- Firstly get yourself an alternative launcher, after testing GO LAUNCHER seems to be the fastest
- Second get yourself a better browser or at least update the skyfire it comes with DOLPHIN HD is a good starting point.
- Third - ROOT IT full guides can be found here androidtablets.net/for…ts/ for using UniversalAndroot
-Fourth - install a root explorer so you can then remove some of the unneccessary features - again the site link provided has guidance on what can and cant be removed.

If you are giving this to a child the lack of android market is a blessing as you are then fully in control of what can and cant be installed on it via the OTG usb port and an external pen drive

AND THAT IS WHY FOR £50 THIS IS HOT

1GB Processor! Impressive.

I've used this tablet quite a lot, sold a few, it's got an abysmal screen, useless for using your fingers, you have to use the very cheap stylus for it to even work half decent. £49 is cheap but I wouldn't call it a bargain even at that price.

You've come to the wrong place, everyone here already agrees that this thing is awful.

Yea I seen that, but some people only read the comments and forget that there's an actual product at the top.

Basically a TSO (Tablet shaped object). You might as well buy a digital photo frame.

I for one am happy to cut realblender some slack. In among his often provocative and tongue in cheek comments, he does tend to talk sense a lot of the time. Plus, he's come up with a few good deals in the recent past.

As for this deal. It's crossed the line from 'budget' to "too cheap". I would avoid.

I disagree, the question we should all be asking is....

Astonishing!

I'm glad you're here to point out that a £49 tablet isn't as powerful as one costing 10x as much, I would never have worked it out for myself.

Having tried one of these, I can only assume all those people adding heat haven't..
27th Oct 2011
Wow the touch technology in this device is antiquated. Just makes me sad I missed the HP £100 one a few months ago.

What's with all the spiteful comments and provocation that's appearing more and more on this forum lately?
It's a forum, everyone is free to make comments/opinions/advice, even if not everyone else agrees with them!
And for the record, Realblender has given great advice to people like me who aren't the most computer-literate guys on the planet!

Not that bad a review considering the new price: … Not that bad a review considering the new price: http://www.pocket-lint.com/review/5121/disgo-tablet-6000-android-reviewI think this is one for those that would like to dump a new ROM. A 1 GHz processor should be plenty for Angry Birds.EDIT: It has Google Maps! That's worth it for this price; stick it in your car as a brilliant satnav.

How is it a brilliant sat nav if it doesn't have a GPS? Surely that's a major prerequisite for a sat nav?

There are cheaper tablets on the Market. I bought some Paracetamols and am happy as larry

my workmate bought one of these so he could use it to watch porn in the toilet. However after staring at a black screen for 10 mins he did not feel very excited and now can ponder the fact he is getting no stimulation and despite hoping that his sac would be lighter the only thing lighter is his wallet by the tune of £70. He keeps trying to borrow my ipad bit i am not lending it to him for obvious reasons. Save your £49 and buy some magazines.

Cache 16KB The amount of information a computer can hold at one given time

Best Buy needs to work on its website. Also three hours battery life? Ouch...

Read a few reviews and unfortunately, even at this price I would not go for it.
