Tablets

[securespark]

Not the ones you swallow, the rectangular type, often with rounded corners.

Are there any out there in the sub £100 bracket that you think are worth buying?

Aspirins. I don't swallow them, I chew them.

Sorry, I'll get my coat.

Spenda little more on something like a Nexus 7 and you won't go far wrong. To many issues with the cheapo ones like lack of updates, slow processors, unresponsive screens etc to make them worthwhile in my book.

secure i went to town last week and popped into three store asking about ipad, chap that served me was 50 but after a chat about what i want it for (boiler manuals on the move in a size i can read) he suggested nexus. i looked at it online thought ill have 16 gb version £199 instead of 8gb one at £159.
i had home computer serviced last few days, didnt realisle home computer has 2gb and it contains everything and some so the 8gb is plenty.
im waiting untill xmas/new year untill the wifi version is out with summat called jellybean.
for me ipad too big to carry around, iphone is fast but too small to read so nexus fits the bill

The nexus 7 is out now with wi-fi and the jelly bean is the operating system.

Instead of two or three seperate gadgets I have my music and books on my tablet,my garmin packed up and I have found a free app to use as a gps.As you say it depends on what you want from it.

OK, fair comment. Thanks, guys. My youngest wants an ipad, but there's no chance.

CPW are doing an 8 GB 9" tablet running Android ICS and wondered if it would be OK for him. All he wants is something to play games on and maybe the silly vids on Youtube:

ermm.. maybe you're explaining it wrong but I doubt your home computer has 2gb..

Thanks for that. But can't work that one out.... it says Android 4.0 ICS at the top then in the spec. it lists Linux as the OS.

Maybe he added up all his stuff (programs, files etc )and it came to 2gb

but they're all incredibly poor at all of those functions. take photos buy a camera. listen to music... for got sake buy something decent... and a tablet is not one of those things, they are rubbish.

If he has a PC like my first (1998) it has a HDD of 2Gb...
