    "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!

        The prices on that site are unbelievable, and the service is great. I've bought several things from there, and never had any problems.

          That doesn't add up. ... Actually, it might; I've got no way of knowing.

              I don't have one, no, but everything I've bought from the site has been pretty damned good. That one is quite new to the site, so there hasn't been time for reviews, yet, bit Iaiwai is a serious company with a good rep (and it's quad core, alum shell, decent camers, etc, so they're not messing around). Try searching the site for "quad core tablet", and setting the sort order to "Best rating", and you'll see options that have been there long enough to have ratings.

                  I'm happy with my ASUS at the moment but will certainly bear this site in mind for the future. Thanks for the heads up.

                        Yes - and you start running out of pockets pretty quickly! :laugh: I carry my wallet, my phone, my tablet, my reading glasses, my keys and some cash and that runs me right out... ;)

                          I used to have one of those when I was about 11, and even with kid's fingers those buttons were tricky.
