This tablet sports a bright, crystal clear capacitive 7-inch touch-screen and runs Android 2.3 OS.

Prerequisites
- Before you root any tablet, it is always advisable to take a back up of your tablet’s data. Backing up your contacts is easy and you can back up all your contacts to your tablet’s SD Card.
- To back up your applications, I recommend you to use ASTRO File Manager which also allows cloud storage.
- Make sure your tablet’s batter has a minimum of 60% charge.
- Enable USB Debugging. To do this, go to Settings>Applications>Development and make sure USB Debugging is checked.
