Would be five stars, but..., Definitely five stars, but...
Arnova, as do many low end manufacturers, mess with the Android operating system to maximise their profits. That's fine, it's their business, but it also minimises the users experience. They put on a very poor app store of their own, leaving out Google Play, and using standard Google products such as GMail and Calendar is practically impossible except through the browser.
If you're a hacker, it's not such a big deal. An hour with ArcTools (which can be got through the Arnova Apps store) puts it all right and you end up with a fully functional Android tablet that performs well at a low price, a five-star product :)
But if you're not comfortable with that kind of thing and need GMail and Calendar apps, maybe it's best to go for the later, more expensive models, which don't mess around with Android.
Me? I love it!
Worth the money, 
Its not going to win any awards for speed and sometimes slows down when there's a lot of apps open but overall its surprisingly very snappy. One of my only niggles is having to use a propriety charger rather than the USB port, this is a pain if your constantly taking it with you so I ended up buying a second charger.
One of the good points with this tablet for me is the ability to unofficially upgrade it to android 4.0. A new model was released which is by all accounts the same hardware with newer software and if your brave enough this version can be flashed ... and its well worth it. (say goodbye to your warranty though as is the case of installing custom software on any android device so only do this if your willing to take the risk and know what your doing). Its also good for tethering on the go, I use a HTC one x with the standard wifi hotspot and it works flawlessly (ive only tested this with the 4.0 software, not 2.3).
Another thing worth mentioning is this tablet is virtually identical in size to an ipad so you can also use this with most ipad cases (with some slight modifications to the case to access all the ports) but this is ideal as theres a lot of cheap ipad cases on the market.
All in all a very good tablet for £160, you would be very hard pushed to find another one as good as this with a screen of this size, resolution and quality for the price (at the time of writing) and I was so impressed with my wifes I went out and bought one myself!
