1 Introduction

1.1 Welcome

Thank you for purchasing this exceptional product – the Bamboo D700 tablet.

Our story is a simple one, though unique.

Since 2010, we’ve worked hard to develop a tablet computer focused on
the middle market, not as a luxury item but as a durable and long lasting
product with features that can match (and exceed) any luxury brand at
prices that appeal to the everyday individual backed by 12 months warranty.

We’re very happy to say, “We’ve done it!” The Bamboo D700 is a high
definition (HD) tablet with a dual-core processor, functioning on a
dominant 1GHz frequency and based on Google’s Android 4.0 operation
system (upgradeable) and seamlessly put together to provide superior
performance. We’re so confident in the Bamboo’s awesome operational
power and features; we encourage you to challenge other tablet owners
(irrespective of the brand) to a competition!

The Bamboo D700 is designed with various functions including dual­SIM to make voice calls and to browse the internet on 2G, 3G, or WIFI
networks. It’s a mobile internet device that provides real-time, on-demand
access to content, the internet, computing and communication tools, and
high-quality services.

It comes pre-loaded with special features unique to the Bamboo D700
such as a mobile terrestrial TV to keep you connected to your favourite
tv channels even when you’re on the move, a point-of-sale application for
small businesses, a job/career tool to connect you to the job offers suited
specially for you; as well as social sharing and a dual-facing (front and
back) camera to store and share memories.

In essence, you are holding a device that will change your life!
