FS: Android Tablet

FS: 7" Sumvision Cyclone Astro 8gb AKA a generic Android Tablet.

I bought this from ebuyer just before the Nexus 7 1 was released for around £100 (I think). It hasn't had much use as the main weakness of this tablet is multi-tasking due to the lack of a dual core processor. Apart from that, I was amazed at how 'slick' it felt. I recently bought a Google Nexus 7 2 so don't really have any need for this.

It's in great condition and has a faux-leather Android slip cover (plus the original packaging).

When I got the tablet I rooted it and installed a custom ROM and also ran a few scripts, the result of which is that the tablet now runs a stable build of Ice Cream Sandwich and Google play believes it's a Samsung tablet. This allows you to get pretty much any app you wish running on the tablet (happily too). What I've done is easily reversible (if you wish) apart from root access. I also wrote it down with a set of instructions (and with all of the necessary files) for if I ever needed to use another ROM etc. in the future.

I don't really know how much to ask so if there's anyone who's interested then drop me a PM. I'd burn the above to a CD.
