[DiscoDes]

I have a big birthday in 2 months and GF wants pressie ideas. I was thinking about getting a Tablet. I DO NOT WANT AN IPAD. Can anyone recommend a good tablet under £300 running Android?

what spec are you looking for Des
size screen? ipad size is 9inch or would you like it more portable?
are you gonna need 3G?
im guessing a good built in camera is required as i know how much you like your video reviewing now

I can reccomend you two excellent runners mate

1st one is the arnova 7 g2

www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0058DG51M/ref=asc_df_B0058DG51M8011430?smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&tag=googlecouk06-21&linkCode=asn&creative=22206&creativeASIN=B0058DG51M

and the arnova 10 g2

www.comet.co.uk/p/Tablets/buy-ARNOVA-501800-Tablet/789666?cm_mmc=Google+Shopping-_-Feed-_-Tablets-_-789666_Arnova__501800&_%24ja=tsid:8360|cc:|prd:501800|cat:Tablets&utm_source=google&utm_medium=base&utm_campaign=products

These both run on android OS and ive had them both i think they are excellent runners and i dont normally like cheap but these for the price they are are really something.Good screen run fast and if you do ever get any of them and you need hlp getting market and what not on them let me know and i can help you mate.

But seriously dont fall into this cheap chinease crud mate as you only get stung,Ive had 2 die on me and my mates died on him only after a months use.

These tabs are both 1ghz 256 memory all tho i think the 10" is 512 and dont get the archos range even tho they are the same make and company the arnovas are better made and have better screens in all honesty i had an archos and they were diabolical.

Hope this has helped mate.

galaxy tab is the best money can buy, the new one is comming out soon.

The better 3/4's and I both have the "Asus Eeepad Transformers, TF101" Des with a shared dock, awesome machines! The work laptops rarely get opened at home now and it's amazing how this seems to tidy the whole house up, after years and years of power bricks and cables trailing all over the shop! Stick a charge in it on the bedside table and you are good to go all day.
No 3G but easily tethered.

If you dont want us to recommend the wonderful scrummy fabulishly amazing great ipad then I would (after a google search on my brillianto scrummy fantastico ipad, which is a great tab for Des) point you in the direction of the Galaxy as well
















You sure you dont want a re-think

Not worried about 3G, not worried about a camera, I want it mainly to surf the interweb, emails and watch video. Ideaslly it should have Ice Cream Sandwhich and be updatable when the next Android comes along, a Micro SD card slot so I can keep files on cards.

Although I think the Ipad is technically a great piece of kit I cannot stand ITunes and refuse to have it on any of my PC's.

You don't need iTunes with the iPad - it doesn't need it in any way shape or form any more. It's a complete standalone piece of kit.

Cheers Hi-Fi but I prefer more "Open Architecture" type of technology, cos I like to "dabble"

I'll wait for Blue's link with bated breath..............

Are you gonna jailbreak/root etc it Des? (whichever you get)

[tafilad]

Agree with you Des 100% I have had the notion ink adam since day one as long as you are willing to play it will do anything

[Queenie Bee]

Ok just over 150, www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B007SHWKFQ/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00 looks ok to me [img src="img.photobucket.com/albums/v119/chriscrosscats/e-cigs/shoppingm2.gif"][/IMG] Edit, put an extra 10er to it des and you can have two for your budget
