I've been using these for awhile.  The current one (an A727) has given
me pause though, as Azpen appears to have backdoored it so they can
periodically install apps in the background.  Whatever does it survives
a factory reset, so I'm fairly sure it's built-in.  Currently, I just
watch the downloaded apps list and uninstall those few apps (it's always
the same apps) when they pop up.  Next cheap android pad probably won't
be an Azpen, though.
