Guest cmberry20 Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 My brother has just purchased one of these for his lad. Are these any good? Cant seem to find any reviews online. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/7-INCH-GOOGLE-ANDROID-2-3-Samsung-CPU-EPAD-TABLET-PC-8GB-APAD-MID-Capacitive-HD-/270858894347?pt=UK_iPad_Tablets_eReaders&hash=item3f1072bc0b The main issue I see is that it run 2.3 Android.

Guest unrandomsam Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 overpriced for what it is, might be ok. (I don't on principle buy from people misusing peoples brands like that Probably got a warezed market as well and if it fails have to send half way around the world (if you get a warranty at all (At least they don't say 3G (When that means use a dongle). If you make getting kernel source a condition of sale then you would be in a better position. If it works you are ok but far safer to go with a more reputable company. (The archos G9 is not that much more ~ £200and a proper honeycomb tablet - Or you can get a blackberry Playbook with £100 cashback today (Total cost £150). No GPS either. (Most of the half decent tablet designs provide a standalone GPS for wifi only devices). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cmberry20 Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 yeah, kinda backed up my thoughts on it. Are there any decent 7" to 10" tablets out there for less than £200. The Archos G9 seems to get awful reviews Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Archos G9 seems to get awful reviews Archos G9 eems to have a fair few reviews from people who haven't used it. Bad reviews I have seen mentioned faulty screen but you would just send it back if that was the case. Paul seemed to think it was OK. There is the £150 Hanspad (As long as you get the latest model with the decent screen). Other option is importing a Playbook from the US. (Runs android apps now afaik). I think Q1 2012 will be a better time to buy (More discounting due to people realising making tons of tablets and trying to sell at ipad prices is braindead - UK kindle Fire release). Think to make a high end one costs about £200 in parts. (Bill of materials for HP Touchpad is listed at $318). Dunno what else I am sort of looking for one myself. (But I want a dedicated GPS and think its fairly likely I can get something heavily discounted before too long). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Neal21 Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 (edited) I have been checking into Dell Android Streak 7 tablet and thought it looked good with all the add ons...like the GPS and ereader. But I have a habit of buying junk that does not last long. The one I checked out will cost me almost $900.00 (after I put on all the add ons). I r ead a lot and take a lot of photos and love games and movies. Is this like a laptop and can I log on to my internet with it? Would this be a good buy?

I don't think that is a good deal For a tablet you are better off with one running honeycomb or ICS. Which one depends on where you are in the world but $900 is a bad deal universally I think.
