7″ iRulu

— Boring non Apple Stuff

Yesterday, I received a small tablet computer I purchased on eBay.  I wanted something small and portable  so I bought a 7″ iRulu.  It runs on Android 4.2.2 and is like a big smart phone that can’t make calls.

The package contains the tablet, power cord, a Micro USB cord to connect it to a PC/Mac and another micro USB cord to plug USB devices into the iRulu.  Of course there is also a very tiny booklet/user manual and a stylus.

In addition, mine came with a portfolio containing a small USB keyboard and a different stylus.  I’ve spent quite a bit of my free time playing with it and getting it set up the way I like.

My oldest daughter saw it and wanted to try the keyboard to see if she could use it for writing.  It is small, 8″ wide and unless you have really small hands would no be usable for touch typing.  A hunt and pecker like me can use it fine, much better in fact than the touch screen keyboard.  I got thinking about it later and plugged in a connector for a Microsoft wireless keyboard and mouse set.  They worked fine, but looked kind of silly with the 7″ screen.
