I have less than a week to figure this out and I really need some help. I've been looking at tablets and reading forum post for the past week every day for a few hours at a time each time and the more I look, the more confused I get over what to get... So maybe someone can help me...
I need a tablet under $200, at least 7" with a front facing camera that is able to skype or some other kind of video chat ( I've read several have problems skyping) But I need video chat. A must. The second must is, I originally began to look at ereaders because I have about 200 books in pdf format and ereaders just don't cut it when it comes to reading pdfs, so I had to start looking at tablets.
The ability to VIDEOCAMERA chat is so important because I'm going to China for almost 2 months in 2 weeks (so I need this tablet fast and ready to use!) and I could use the tablet instead of taking my giant hulking laptop that is a gaming laptop that is more or less the size of a computer... :| (yes, I will have wifi in China so that's not a problem)
And this is almost a MUST: for the tablet to be able to be put in one of those cases with the keyboard in it. It would of course make typing on skype a lot easier and also if I can- it doesn't HAVE to have this function, but the ability to type papers like on word or something. I fail at explaining, sorry! :3
But these three features are really all that I am looking for in that price range. :| The one that I have looked at the most is the Coby Kyros mid7024, it fits everything that I need except that I've read skype doesn't work on it and I don't know if any other video chat messengers work? MSN, Yahoo, doesn't matter. I need something, if someone can confirm that they have it and it works on a video messenger, then I *guess* I'm good to go.
But, as you can see, I'm in a major rush with time dwindling before I have to leave, low on money and no answers and only frustration and confusion.
Please oh wise tablet users, lend me your knowledge on what to buy.
Thank you to anyone who responds with suggestions, your help is seriously appreciated.
