Tablet Help?

Basically i want a tablet but what do i get? i have been looking and there are loads of them! i have no clue which ones are best. so please help!?

i will spend about £250 ish if i cant find one i like.. looks like im going for the iPad. Eventhough i've heard android is a lot better.

Thanks,

Sam

What do you intend on doing with it?

If you're doing the basics, I hugely recommend the Kindle Fire. It's the best selling Android tablet at the moment.

playing games, surfing the internet the basics and i also like the jailbreaking side, or whatever its called on android.

i would like a camera and about 16gb worth of memory.

i saw another thread and it had something about a HP Touchpad, i had a look and cant seem to find any in the uk? they were like 180$ but nothing in the uk?

If you can find an HP touchpad, go for it. You can find them dirt cheap, and they are excellent for the price. Theres a few caveats to it though

-Build quality blows. I have a case around mine and yet somehow the plastic back is scratched, and the plastic around the speakers are cracked. Its not like its falling apart, but its not something I'd trust to survive a fall without a case

-You will have to put some work into getting android on it. While 4.0 runs amazing on it, it isn't the easiest process in the world to make it happen. Not terrifying or anything, though.

When I say 4.0 runs amazing on it, though, I'm absolutely serious. It runs like a dream, I've yet to have any app incompatabilities, its like a legitimate, full size android tablet that I bought for 150 bucks.

That said, its hard to find a touchpad. Other considerations:

-Refurbished anything can be found for that price point

-the google nexus tablet should be coming along for about 250 in couple months

-the kindle fire is pretty solid

-yeah, the iPad is always an option.

Galaxy Tab 2 Look's solid at 250$

Once you get 4.0 on the touchpad, it really is a fantastic tablet. Sure, some (all) of the higher end tablets out perform it, but for the price, it really can't be beat. Its smooth, ICS works like it was built for it, and it just works out perfectly. Honestly, pretty much any Ice Cream Sandwich (android 4.0) tablet would probably work out well for you. ICS itself really is the ultimate remedy to androids troubled past.

If you want to play with webOS, sure. Frankly, I don't use it at all anymore, simply because webOS doesn't play so well on tablets compared to ICS

Well if youre paying £300-400 for the iPad i'll have one. If not I'm getting a tablet due to the fact of its so much cheaperWadey54

yeah, its stupidly expensive.

and i've just bought my HP TouchPad :D
