New There are a lot of complaints at Amazon about it.
Apparently there are/were issues with it being unable to charge when the battery got to 0% and/or there are issues with the microUSB connection for charging. See the 1 and 2-start reviews. http://www.amazon.co...eviews/B004UL34EY

I haven't seen anything about SSH. There were some complaints about it working poorly with Citrix.

It's an orphaned product. You're taking a risk unless you know that it will work well for you.

For a little bit more you can get a Nexus 7 that would likely have much better options - http://www.amazon.co...ition=refurbished (~ $180).

HTH a little. Good luck.

Cheers,
Scott.
