A900x.

Does that sound right? Only negative about having a tablet is I feel like an idiot because a lot of stuff about this goes over my head.

That's your model number, but my question isn't important. Tablets are awesome because I can make my inane comments here at 2 in the morning and not wake anyone up.

Yes I am. Also, that's the reason I haven't posted since Friday. Got the tablet Friday. Didn't know u needed internet service. I took my modem and everything back when my computer broke. Anyway I have the internet via my phone provider. So, I had to wait until yesterday for the guy to come out and hook the internet up.

I have a problem. I can't watch any videos from daily motion.It says something to the effect "the video can't support this browser". I have no clue on what to do next. I can watch YouTube videos though. Now whatever I have to do to watch the daily motion videos,will it cost me any money?

Does your tablet have GooglePlay or some other type of app store? You could download the Dailymotion app and try to watch videos that way. There is also a YouTube app that you might like better than using your tablet's browser. Both apps are free.

So if I download an app, that's free, its ok. But the free app could offer other apps that u have to pay for. As long as you as u don't click on those u have pay for, then that's ok, right?

Yes, that's right. It's been my experience that the free game apps are the ones most likely to have the in-app purchases that you have to be cautious of. If that's something you are worried about, you can require your tablet to require a password for purchases. I don't know how to do that on your tablet, but usually you go into settings and tap "require password for purchases."

Actually wont it ask for payment? They'll say something to the affect of credit card or paypal or something else.

So a free app would be dailymotion or youtube or FOX Sports Go or ESPN, right?

Try reading the descriptions of the apps you're interested in to find out if they are free. That's what I do when I use the App Store on my iPad Mini. Sorry, I don't know anything else to help you. Good luck!

I found out something. As long as it says free, there free. But there are apps which are free but once you install the free app, that app might have another app that you have to pay for.

As you know I now have a Polaroid 9 inch tablet. Their a couple of things that I would like to know because I dont see directions or anything to show me how to do these things.



1) How to copy and paste from one site to another?

2) How to print?

3) How would I be able to save videos from youtube or dailymotion? Also what would I have to purchase so I could do that?

For the first two, I would just recommend finding some YouTube videos on the subjects.
