Android Tablet

MM78 · #1 03-07-2013

So I came to a conclusion...

I can't afford an Ipad so I want to get my wife at least a Android Tablet.

I need recommendations, I saw this one and i liked it so far, she mostly be on the wifi, reading ebooks.

Also, how good is the Android Marketplace...as far as apps and stuff?

I found the following so far:

Seriously...Google developer device is the Nexus 7 and it cost $199. I have it set up with a bluetooth keyboard and mouse and run it like a normal computer.

The stuff you listed here is absolutely hideous and flawed in so many ways. Please stay as far away as possible from these Chinese sh!t brick tablets. Your wife will hate you when they can't operate properly and eventually stop working altogether.

you most certainly can get an iPad for around 250-300 mark as some of these are listed for

MM78,

apple usa lists the ipad min at a starting price of US$325. DOuble check if you qualify under their education pricing program. That may give you a better price.

Those androids you listed sometimes have issues with updates & such.

Really better to go with post 2. Stick to the known and proven.

If MrsMM78 has never used androids, she might find it a new learning process too

PS......

Apple Store for Education - Apple Store (U.S.)

Maybe you could qualify

Thank You everyone for the info, I have decided to go with this Tablet:

Purchase the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 With WiFi GT-P3113-TS8A (Ice Cream Sandwich) Operating System for less at Walmart.com. Save money. Live better.

Maybe by X-Mas I can get my Wife an Ipad!
