just wanted to let everyone know i went with acer a500 tablet and i love it. it is still all knew. i hear allot about rooting and would like it if someone with this tablet would help me with this. as for the acer i would recommend it, but know it is solid, heavy even. i like that, it is well built and u have to really hang ontonit. it may not be the fastest thing out there but it is very well built and constructed. nothing cheapy about this tablet. it is made out of metal and is quality. so far it has run everything i have tried to put on except a few cheap games.
i look forward to someone experienced here helping me root it....
pm me and we can hook up on chat... thanks don

Hi. I'm looking for a cheap tablet for my daughter. It's important there's at least 1GB storage available for apps, and it has the play store. Ads never seem to give this information and we came a cropper with it when I bought one for my wife. Ideally the screen will be as big as possible and it'll be less than £100.
Can anybody help me?!
Thanks very much!!

Hey Im Australian and I dont know who told you that you needed to spend $1894 au to get a bloody good android tablet,also I disagree with the Samsung Galaxy being the only Android of note,I have an Asus transformer that runs the latest Android system and it is a ripper,and I paid less than $400au for it,also I have just purchased a Lenovo Think Pad from an Australian site for $250 delivered,and looking up the reviews they come up pretty flash,you can also look around the dealers or indeed ebay and look at the Toshiba tablet or the Motorola model and I will bet that you can get one for between $200 and $400 which is a big discount on the $1894 your talking about,my choice of these tablets (including the Samsung Galaxy) would be the Asus transformer,but I guess other users would disagree,but most importantly forget all about spending in excess of $500,but if I was you I would steer clear of the no brand cheap models.
Hope this helps

Hey all,
Just wondering what your opinions are on the best few 10" Tablets.
I really liked the look of the Google Nexus 7 but its just too small for me.
Money doesn't really matter but look for good value for money.
Cheers

I guess many 7"/8" RK3066 tablets would fit in that category.
Just to name a few:
Teclast P85
Window/Yuandao N70 dual core
Cube U30GT Mini (make this one your last option)
PiPo U1.
Many more, but these are the ones which sell most. You should have look and decide which suits your needs best, as these vary in screen size, battery capacity, screen resolution, and availability of various ports (eg HDMI).
Hope this helps.

Hi all,
I am learning Portuguese using an android phone but it makes my head Khemakaache looking at a small screen, so I thought a tablet might be better. Portuguese seems to require downloading a Portuguese speaker to use with the translation packages but I am not aware of anything else that is particular about it. I would like to be able to have several apps open and 2 using half the screen each at a time. And the sound needs to be good so I can hear the accents well. Can anyone recommend a tablet? Many thanks, EE.

boys ask one hand, I bought a tablet Ainol novo 7 fire but the wifi connection is ridiculous, falls after a few minutes and then it takes time to resume, there is a way of enhancing it, I would be very grateful?
Hi I'm looking to buy my first tablet. I'm a medical student and I need the following features:
a.) a good PDF reader
b.) clear resolution(don't exactly need HD)
c.) Fast processor (preferrably Tegra 3)
d.) good for gaming during those well deserved study breaks
e.) sturdy and good build quality
i'm looking for something in the $350-$399 price range since i'm in manila and tablets with a price of $350 become $500 when they get here.
I prefer a 10" display
Can't say I'm an android expert but i do know how to use it. won't be making any mods to the tablet(i don't think there will be time for that)
Nexus 7 is good but it's just too small for reading my pdf textbooks.
Was looking at the TF300 but a lot of reviews from users i found a lot of hardware issues(cracked screen, autoreboot, poor build quality) had me backing off.
also checked out the samsung galaxy tab 2 10.1 but it's soooo slow most of my classmates have it and it's slow
also looked at the acer a510 but they have overheat issues. also don't want to pay extra for the a700 just for the HD display
samsung galaxy note 10.1 would've been PERFECT if not for the heavy price tag that comes along with it.(almost $800 here for the 16gig version)
thank you for your help! I hope someone helps me i can really use a tablet right now.

Hi Guys.
I'm looking to get a tablet for uni for lectures and while on clinical placements, rather than carrying round a laptop. Looking to spend about £150. In term of specs and what I need it to do main use would power points, flash player, fast browsing and internet, fairly decent size screen between 7 to 10 inch, some apps mainly medical based one so not too gaming heavy. Not jerky or slow either when browsing the web or general use. Ideally would like it to handle most games available on android market easily but this is not the end of the world if it doesn't.
Sorry if this is a bit of a naff description not had or used a tablet before.
thanks

Hi guys, looking for the most STABLE & AFFORDABLE 2G tablet. Don't care about brand as long as the price is cheap as hell and has built in 2G and stable. It is very very hard to find. I wonder even the everyone on the forum can find such a solution
THanks guys.
THanks guys.

Hi... I'm getting interested in getting an inexpensive tablet, under $200 (closer to $100 would be nice). I'd like a maximum 7", something small enough to carry around easily, to use for fairly simple things like calendar/organizer, Skype, Netflix, audiobooks, ebooks, and of course email and web browsing.
I'm in California, have been a computer hobbyist since 1980 or so, and a programmer almost that long. I normally use Linux at home, but also have Windows and a Mac, plus a couple of old ipods (1st and 2nd gen touch). So, I may eventually get in to rooting and modding, but not unless I have to.
I'd like something that won't become landfill next year, but I don't want to spend too much, especially if I get a Chinese brand that might have problems that can't be solved. If I really needed one, and could justify the cost, I'd probably get a Samsung or Nexus, but I'm not really convinced that's even a good way to spend my hard-earned dollars, especially if I can get a fairly reliable Chinese brand. I've looked at some of the Ainol Novos, like the Aurora 2 or Flame, and they seem pretty nice, but I have a couple of questions, too.
I wonder about Bluetooth capabilities, and whether it's something I would want. How is bluetooth mainly used with a pad? I have a Mac bt keyboard sitting around, but I don't know if it would even work with the pad, or if it's even worth the bother, since I mainly use a desktop for heavy typing. I don't have bt headphones or anything.
And what about GPS? Is that worthwhile? I have a Magellan GPS device for the car already. So, if I don't travel that much anyway, is a GPS very useful?
I think the Aurora 2 might be fine for me, at not much over $100, and it might go down now that Ainol is coming out with a whole new line of updated units (or maybe I should wait and get a new one with the quad processors and Jelly Bean.
I hope my post is not to complicated. Maybe I should ask one question at a time, then ask which one to buy?
Anyway, thanks for any suggestions.
