Zettaly WiFi Internet Radio Media Player with 7" Touchscreen, Built-in Memory and HDMI Output, Streaming Radio Stations and Audio Music Apps

Taking a second look at Zettaly. Now let set the expectations from the start. Some people define this as a tablet with speakers, well it is and it is not. It will access Google play and run most of applications but it does not have enough processing power or memory for one to play power hungry games. What one should line this up with is now defunct proprietary Sony HIDC10 Dash Personal Internet Viewer (Discontinued by Manufacturer and costing at least double of this) which is personal alarm\radio. Actually, it is better than Sony in many ways. Sony service is discontinued and now their devices are unusable bricks and even when service was active devices were locked to Sony. This on the other hand is not tied down to anyone manufactured (well maybe Google). Just search Amazon for “Aluratek AIRMM04F WiFi Internet Radio Media Player” or “Kelement Wi-Fi Internet Radio” or “Sungale Wi-Fi Internet Radio” and you will see equivalent products in everything but the price.Ok, here is what you can do with it. When I received it I noticed that Android is clean with no bloatware, a plus. I installed HD Widgets, added Youtube to watch videos, Netflix app, Pandora app, Wikipedia app, additional clock for a better-looking clock then the one that comes with Android, Mi Home so I can see my front door cameras, added my emails and now it is taking it rightful place on my night table. It has that retro mid century look that I like. So the point of this review is that if you buy this please buy it with the right mind set. It will be your alarm clock with unlimited number of alarms, personal assistant, internet radio, email checker, quick web lookup, and skyping, youtube streaming device, with great sounding speakers. As long as you understand its limitations and buy it for the right purpose.PS. for example the review left by Cruzer109 clearly shows what I'm talking about. He says "does not charge". The seller clearly stated that this item does not include battery and will only work when plugged in. Personally I do not care about the battery as I'm not planing to be walking around the house with it and after being plugged in most of the time the battery will capacity deteriorate.

Nice unit. The speakers surprisingly sound pretty good (not great) for their size. I use it on my nightstand as a clock radio (downloaded a night-time clock for it). Occasionally, the screen is non-responsive as it's transitioning between programs, but I wasn't looking for blazing speed. It's nice waking up to music I like on Pandora with no moronic DJs talking over the music (or not playing music at all!)! It's Android 4.4 (I think - it's definitely 4.?) and not a lot of storage, but again, I'm using it as an alarm clock/radio. As advertised, there is no battery in it, it's not designed as a walk-about tablet. I actually have it plugged into a battery pack and the battery pack plugged into the wall in case the power goes out so I have some backup. All in all, at it's reduced price (I paid $39.99 for it), it's a great deal. I wouldn't pay much more for it.

I received my Zettaly WiFi player today and eagerly opened the box. I plugged it in and followed the onscreen instructions, activated the battery in the remote, and attempted to log into my WiFi. That's where my experience ended. It found my strong WiFi signal, but when I tried to enter my password to login, the onscreen keyboard was not responsive. I tried to use the remote to select the letters/numbers from the keyboard, but this isn't a function the remote can apparently do. I turned off/on, unplugged/plugged back in, etc. Each time I tried, I ended up at the same stumbling block so I'm returning it. I knew I was taking a gamble based on the price and reviews, but figured I had a 50/50 chance. I guess it's a great little piece of equipment IF you get one that works. Mine didn't. I'm done. No more chances.

Second Review:I returned the first one I got that would not even power on. I ordered a second one and it did power and it did function once. When I went to go use it again it no longer boots up past the "Android" screen. Tried multiple times to power cycle it and it never got past the "Android" boot up screen. Returned it for a refund. I'm done giving this product any chances.Original Review:Mine arrived dead on arrival. It does not turn on and does not charge (I know now it doesn't have a battery hence why it wouldn't charge). Returning for a refund.
