I think I know what you've got -- I have a similar one also from EPC
though the processor might be different.

I recommend you look at http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/sylvania_netbook/.
This group is devoted to a similar device, Sylvania branded, available
through some retailers in the U.S. They have a wealth of software
available for free download, including various Web browsers and media
players. They also have an OS image available, with instructions on
installation (you have to do it just right). The group administrator
is very helpful.

I also additionally installed Softmaker Office on mine, a fully MS-
Office compatible WP / Spreadsheet / Presentation suite. But that's
kind of overkill. WordPad or PocketWord is probably all you need.
