Behold another eReader with access to Barnes and Noble Bookstore’s online store full of ebooks. This isn’t the first eBook reader that Pandigital has put out in their manufacturing history, and it’s certainly not the last, but it IS certainly the most recent, and Android IS present upon it. Earlier today we reported that NOOKcolor’s app downloads hit 1 million after only a week online – but that’s apps. Will this Pangitital device have access to the same NOOK Apps store? Given that it comes with “a host” of apps pre-installed, it might be possible.

On the other hand, it’d make a whole lot more sense for this device to be working with the Amazon App store, don’t you think? Having not seen an eReader with Android Market access yet (at least non-hacked-wise,) I’d bank on no market access or Amazon access. The device you’re looking at here is a 7-inch tablet with TFT LCD screen, Wifi access and access to Barnes and Noble for eBooks. The tablet features front and rear-facing camera, HDMI output and even a microphone.

The “Planet” contains a slew of pre-installed apps including Facebook, Dictionary, Antivirus, and OfficeSuite Viewer. Wait, Antivirus? How can that be? I thought handheld devices couldn’t get viruses? Of course they can, young Jedi, they’ve just not seen any big attacks yet. In the very near future we’re going to have to be very attentive potential viral attacks on devices with Android, iOS, and the lot, and Android Community will be your go-to site for updates on such stuff.

Stay safe and stay Android!

  1. Pick mine up June 8th at local Kohl’s, I’ve had plenty on time with the standard ereader with the android firmware upgrade, so this will be a snap to add Amazon, Appshare, 1Mobile, games, radio, etc. Add iReader and you gain the mobipocket format from you local library, add Overdrive and you can direct download local library Epub’s and Pdf’s.

  2. you guys sound like this is  snap to use. I am having the hardest time just setting up to connect to my regular gmail account. I can only get 1.5 bars even though it says it is connected.  Do I just have a bad tablet or just too technologically challenged for this new marvel?  Is there somewhere I can go to have a ‘human’ show me how this works without costing more than the planet it self?

    • Sorry to hear your having problems, gmail and yahoo setup were no different then any other device, in my case a cheap Wondermedia 8560 the older Pandigital Novel or the Planet. No idea what your experience level is, a lot of the rest of us put in a large amount of reading, google searching and trial and error. try contacting Mark “I love the pandigital planet” on Facebook or “Gameroid”.

  3. I know this question is out there but I don’t want to waste money. I would like to know if I could access ebay and xxx videos on the pandigital planet tablet?

      • Thank you so much! and just to make sure, your saying I could access xxx vids; even if I were to use the browser to go to a website to access the vids? For example xnxx.com? It’s a free site I was just worried about being able to view the vids.

  5. Most of these multimedia tablets with front and rear cameras also do video chat, but I can’t seem to find any reference to the PD Planet being able to do this.  Will it do it, perhaps with the right app?

    • No additional app required, The included camera app has a “VIDEO FUNCTION SETTING”, clearly outlined in the user guide Page 44.

  6. How do I set up my gmail accont on my new tabled?  When I follow the steps and enter the user ID and password it tells me that one of them is incorrect but it isn’t.

  7. I would like to know what web site to go to, to download games, ect. for pandigital planet tablet and where can I find a case for it? Thanks
