With that JT-B1 pricetag, i could have bought at least 5 units of China tablets with the same specifications already. :B Very expensive despite the toughness.

SOLUTION: Common sense says that whenever you receive an unsolicited email offer, you ought to automatically
be suspicious. This technique, however, has
been ineffective since 2005. Search Engine Optimization,
or SEO, is one of the most widely used methods to improve a website.
