    I tried working out what's best for me but too much marketing and different opinions. I want a device that my wife and 2 year old can use at home with Wi-Fi. Good camera for home shots of daughter, Internet access through Wi=Fi and some Apps downloads. Have desk top for everything else. Cheap unit because daughter doesn't play nice. any recommendations?

        "Cheap" and "Good" don't generally play well together! The Cheap end of the market (Android tablets on FleaBay are from about £50) aren't good - accuracy of finger is not generally good, and reliability is pretty poor. Your camera need rules out the Nexus and the Kindle which only have front facing, which is useless for photography. And then you're up into Apple territory, with Apple pricing and this week's model. I think you would probably be better off getting a Nexus or Kindle and a smartphone for the camera!

            Yep! I'm not that fond of smartphone cameras myself, but they do fit in a pocket, which means you have it with you when you want it.

              My mother has a very small digital camera, think it's a Canon, not sure so, can be a Nikon too. And it perfectly fits in the pocket..

              The signature is in building process.. Please wait...

                                        My smartphone and my tablet both have calculators. But I can't find them.

                                          "Cheap" and "Good" don't generally play well together! The Cheap end of the market (Android tablets on FleaBay are from about £50) aren't good - accuracy of finger is not generally good, and reliability is pretty poor. Your camera need rules out the Nexus and the Kindle which only have front facing, which is useless for photography. And then you're up into Apple territory, with Apple pricing and this week's model. I think you would probably be better off getting a Nexus or Kindle and a smartphone for the camera!

                                          "Cheap" and "Good" actually do play well together. How? If you buy cheap, you end up spending money on repairs, replacements, which in many cases turn up to be more expensive than the originally better and more expensive product. So all in all, the better one IS the cheaper one. This is why I always say: "Cheap? I don't have enough money to buy Cheap!"

                                          It is a paradox that paradoxes would actually exist in reality. That means of course that they don't exist. However, they do!
