Amazon Fire Tablet Experience

To get an idea of how the new Huawei phone will be like to use, try setting up a Fire tablet for Google Play apps.

It's a bit of a faff but acceptable for tech-heads. You don't know if the files needed will be up there for long though and if they are up to date enough.

Then when installing apps, some mysteriously just don't work. Examples I have are eBay and myTuner.

There are workarounds - use Chrome for eBay and a different radio app. But would I not invest anything other than bargain-basement money into hardware that needs this faff-around.
