My hubby acquired a ZTE tablet computer from a friend (he owed hubby money so gave him the tablet in payment as he was unemployed at the time)...I have tried playing around with it but it frustrates me more than anything...i have googled for basic instructions on how to use it but can only find full instruction booklets to download & no ability to read them online without downloading (I don't see why I should download anything when I just want to refer to the basics)... This thing doesn't have a usb cable so i am guessing I will need to download an antivirus...does anyone have any tips on using any kind of tablet computer? The only experience i have is using my iphone & playing around on this tablet.

I have recently bought an Archos 7 tablet. All I know about the ZTE is that it is, like the Archos, an Android tablet : it is a Linux kernel, so there is no real need for an antivirus -- in fact, an antivirus on Android creates a security risk for your data --. For the rest, each tablet has its own specificities -- by example, I have an usb cable -- and I think you should finally download the booklets for your tablet.

That's a good thing to know that I don't need to put anti virus software on it...I guess it's just a matter of trying to navigate the internet software as it's different from what I am used to...I don't really want to download the full instruction booklet - just the main sections like internet...but it looks like I may have to. Thanks for your help.
