ANDROID 2.3 TABLET, no drivers, not compatible

Hi

Newbie here! Just wondering if anyone has advice regarding a new tablet I bought.

It's S5PV210A8, and all I wanted to use it for was iPlayer and video files, but when I received it and set up the wireless, iPlayer wouldn't play content, and my laptop couldn't find the device (says I needed drivers, which I then couldn't find online), which I needed to transfer my files to the micro sd card.

I tried a few things and then reset factory settings, and now there's not even Flash on the system. When I go to the Market, it says my tablet, which is 2.3.1, isn't compatible with Flash 11 (I couldn't find Flash 10.1). And I still can't find drivers (although I've since learned that I can transfer the files through a micro sd card adapter, so short term it's not a problem) and at some point I might need them (photo download and stuff).

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Chris

Good luck. :)

EDIT:

Problem with many of these China devices, is that they often have buggy firmware with no updates or support available.
