It was an 8-inch tablet made by Hyundai. No, not that Hyundai, the Chinese Hyundai. Yes, there's a Chinese Hyundai.
For anyone thinking of going the cheapo route with one of these Chinese tablets, take my advice: don't do it. This one ticked all the boxes: capacitive touchscreen, 8GB storage, Play Store, etc but beware those things outside hardware specs: there will never be any custom ROM available. Mine used the cramfs file system (the what?) so it was read-only. You couldn't root or cook up your own ROM. The camera was abysmal. It needed a custom build of Adobe Flash, which could never be updated. It comes preloaded with *ahem* free versions of popular games sitting in the directory as apks. Bloatware is all in Chinese, and gives you access to Chinese television through shady re-broadcasters. And the lag...oh, the lag.
Long story short: get the Nexus 7. Affordable, solidly built, maintained by Google, pure Android, plenty of community support, plenty of takers when you want to sell it to buy the next Nexus.
