You dont seem to know what you are talking about.
RAM cannot be expanded with an SD card. The 3gb is actually the size of the hard drive, not the size of the RAM.
This is kind of a cool little device, though you obviously have not used it….It has an android tablet and an ebook reader in one device and the two touch screens work together…you will want a 16gb or 32gb SDHC card to give it enough storage to be useful as a netbook. You will also want an external keyboard since the touch screen keyboard is frustrating.
However, this is the BEST ebook reader for TEXTBOOKS. Its not as light as the Kindle and wont last as long for battery life, but it can display the color images on the LCD side, and yet has an e-ink side even bigger than a Kindle DX.
These are TOUCH screens, which is awesome. You can draw on your e-textbooks and take notes with the magnetic pen and save your notes. It can also record audio with built in speakers and mic so you can record your lesson…in theory you can also record video, though its kinds of fixed and you cant really take notes and also record video of your teacher, but you can record audio and either take notes or film your teacher, and you can check your email on your device and write up pappers with a word processor on this device.
It has an arm processor which is pretty decent….its not the standard PC type chip, but it works for Android which is a fairly functional alternative to the netbook remixes of windows or linux……in my opinion it beats the Ipad for functionality, but not for weight.
Cool device…..get one if you can. Its a better value than the ipad, even after the cost of a 32gb sdhc card……however, you can get by with an 8gb card, but I wouldnt go lower.
You are right and the word ‘RAM’ was a typo. I have corrected it
