Design and Body Toshiba Axioo PicoPad 8 3G
The tablet carries a neat and sleek design with dimensions of 201mm x 156mm x 12mm and weighs 465 grams. Just like other local tablets, all tablets using plastic material. To the front there is a black frame around the screen to place a secondary camera and LED notifications. The back of the camera there is a major and speaker holes. Top there is the lock / power and volume buttons. To the left side of the tablet looks crowded with holes placed mic, 3.5mm headset port, HDMI port, microUSB port and 2.5mm charger port. While on the other hand there is just plain nothing.
As the name implies this tablet has a touch screen 8-inch TFT LCD with 1024 x 768 pixels. It looks quite nice, sharp, and bright, but the same kind of case as tablets used sanngat reflective coating making it less convenient to use in a room with lots of light, the display on the screen so it is less visible.
Interface Toshiba Axioo PicoPad 8 3G
Standard user interface for tablets Android ICS alone, there is no significant difference. Perhaps one of the small differences seen lockscreen section where when you touch the slider section circle will appear that applications have opened for access back quickly.
Sign in to home screen, there are five pages that can be filled with various items such as widgets, folders, shortcuts. Part bar down there a few extra buttons besides the standard buttons (back, home, recent) is the volume (- +), and option button. App drawer look exactly like the default Android ICS with a black background and there are two categories at the top of the application or widget., Do not miss a shortcut to Play Store menu on the right top.
For performance, we feel that the response was a little slow in this tablet, for example when we press the lock button then the screen there is a little pause before the screen lit up, as well as when you hit the back button or the home of an application there is a pause before the action is performed. If you are not a person who likes to rush then this is not an issue.
For text input affairs are just standard Android keyboard just typing that provides standard features. With a large screen would be more comfortable if you are typing with two hands. Interestingly though PicoPad 8 tablet but it has haptic feedback (vibration) like those of smartphones.

Multimedia Toshiba PicoPad 8 3G
The first time we got confused with holding absenteeism gallery menu, but apparently in PicoPad 8 uses an application called Super-HD Player that brings together the functions gallery and video player. For gallery functions the same as in the general offer basic features such as crop, rotate, and more.
Standard Android music player comes with a simple look and not a lot of knick-knacks are confusing. Features present here the sound output settings with different options or if not satisfied you can also set it manually. For the speaker output is not so impressive, though small audible sound output is set to the maximum position.
The video player is also performed with an excess of the other locally owned tablets, namely the ability to play many video formats with support features that are quite complete. Noted format mkv, mp4, 3gp, wmv, avi, mov, m4v to play properly 1080p full HD resolution. Yet somehow for flv format can not be played, the player will continue to show the loading is not finished.
