Hello,

I'm building a prototype for a project of a client, and I was considering on using an android tablet as the platform of choice for the project. Since this is a prototype, I need the cheapest device I can find.

Beauty, video quality, full hd playback, gaming and stuff like that is completely useless to me. As I said, this device is going to be used for a prototype, so the key here is low price.

What I'm looking for:

• Good Battery Life - 4+ hrs
• Bluetooth - either embedded or thru external adapter
• USB host - to add usb dongle mostly
• Wifi - either b or g would be fine

Optional Items:

• GPS
• Big screen - 8"+

Thanks

So, anyone?

Just a follow up I ended up getting the iPad 2 and thus far it is very good. Will be even better once a jailbreak is available for it.

Hello,

Right now my wife and I are looking at getting a new tablet, partly so we can take notes in class, and partly so we can use it as a form of entertainment on our flights.

I am mainly looking for a tablet that is 10 inches, or maybe 9 inches, that is some where between 200-300 dollars, that supports the android market so I can download all of the apps available.

I also plan to use it for kindle function and many other functions. Anyone able to recommend me something in that price range that meets my specifications? I am partially over whelmed with how many options there are for tablets.

Hello,

I'm not really a computer person, I am good at using them, but the little black box of death (where you type in code and such kinda scares me). Though I do very much support the Linux. I'm looking for either an Android or linux based tablet.

I'm a Museum Curator, for Living History Museums in Central Ontario. I'll be using the tablet for both professional and personal. I've listed the main work and personal uses for the device and the technical needs and wants. I could go up the $500 but of course I'd rather less.

Uses for my Tablet,
Work Related:
Read/edit documents (potently all open office but definatly word and spreadsheet)
E-mail/web
Record (audio) and written notes from a meeting
Easy Navagatable Calander and adgenda (with meeting alarms)

Personal:
Take and View Photos
Watch movies
Play Music
Read Ebooks
games

Technical Need
Capacitive touch screen
at least 1 USB
headphone out
Wifi and 3G


Technical Want:
8 or 9 inch Screen preferably but will consider 7-10
Bluetooth
the little mouse buttons.

Any help or recommendations would be very much appreciated.

Hi All,
Just came across this site, wow heaps of info in here, thanks!

I'm looking to get my first tablet for general use, browsing, playing music, etc.

Must Have:
- 10" preferred although would consider 8"...
- Wifi + Bluetooth
- Internal 3G (could live with external 3G support in a pinch...)
- Flash

Would Like:
- Android Market (it seems some tablets dont support this...?)
- Full Flash

I've got an Android phone. I'm quite computer literate and would be happy to have a go at rooting the tablet if necessary (with instructions etc).

I'd spend up to around $300, maybe a little more if required...Am I dreaming or is this about right?
Im in Australia.

I've had look around and I'm tempted by some of the Chinese tablets but Im worried Ittl be a brick within a week and I'd be left with no recourse...

Thanks for any advice.
