I have blogged about the Telefunken TEL7J and it is pleasing to see how many people have come with their problems. It is not an iPad, though I can say my iPad was pretty hard to get along with today. Not the cruisy machine it normally is. The Telefunken is something you have to think about and it would be good if we had some YouTube clips to get us more familiar with layout and operation. I use it on a daily basis as a multimedia diary. My latest apps are the French newspapers, a cooking timer which I really like, StudyMaster French vocab and Scribtor Lite . I have another couple to install which I loaded from my computer. I have yet to see if this works. When you connect the TEL7J it will be in Computer as the picture shows and have a whole lot of folders. I shift music and videos into the DOWNLOAD folder and then can play them on my device. I haven’t worked out the answer to where you actually put apps if you do not directly install them from the SlideMe app on the TEL7J. That really needs a search box to make it more effective. I didn’t find a free QR code reader like I have for my other devices so I am not able to say whether the forward facing camera can actually read QR codes. It would make it hard. The forward facing camera is more designed for making little video voice messages or taking face pics to mark an event. I tried photographing some plants and had to get myself into an odd angle to get the picture. So I am happy with the personal video aspect of it. Sharing our knowledge has been helpful but I think those who can use this device well need to share their knowledge. I can use it well for what I want but maybe there is more this gadget can do. Certainly a J learning curve.
I have had a chance to check the packages I installed from my computer. I downloaded them from SlideMe on my computer and then dropped them into the download folder of the TEL7J. I have installed them through the ApkInstaller top left of apps screen and chose Internal Memory – that means “hard drive”.
