Default Should i get it...?

i have some questions before thinking of getting it.

as far as i can see, it is the best bet for 200$, but how does it work? since im not 18 yet, and i couldn't buy all the books and games by my self and stuff.... is there a chance to just install a video player application and play downloaded videos like on rockplayer on android? also what about games. is there any way to just download them from some site and just simply install it or something. Thanks!

You'll be able to install from Amazon whatever they deem acceptable to be downloaded. Yes, I have read that sideloading apks will be possible but without a uSD disk you'll need to be able to load via cable from your desktop, wirelessly might be possible or email the apk.

Amongst the deal-breakers (for me) are only 8GB total space. You'll fill that fast with music/videos. Cloud storage is useless without a wifi connection. No microSD (uSD) so no expandability. 512MB of RAM will work but 1GB is almost the norm anymore.

Bottom line, Amazon will sell a bazillion of these $200 tabs but mostly to people who are only focused on price and less on function (their loss). The AF is (IMO) kind of on par as those cheap knock-off tablets many Chinese companies crank out. With the holidays coming more and MUCH better alternatives are coming than the AF. Hold off would be my advice for now.

Bluetooth is the problem for me also. I want to get a tablet, and $200 is tempting, but I would like the option of using a wireless keyboard. On the other hand, I don't want to pay twice as much for a tablet that does have bluetooth.
