What budget do you have, the samsung tab2 7'' is only £150 and samsung are giving a £30 cashback and 8gb memory card at the mo

I am currently looking for a tablet for my son (nearly 12) to spend his christmas money on. I believe that the samsungoffer has finished now with qualifying purchases up to end December 2012. I could be wrong though.
I was thinking that my lad would be better getting a slightly cheaper one. I think basically you get what you pay for in most cases.

the offer was running last week, samsung back to school is the thing to look for

Runs Android 4 ICS, two full size USB post, HDMI port, 10" screen, I'm happy enough with mine, the keyboard/case makes it a little netbook. Its not a iPad but works well enough, loads and loads of applications for it, play BBC iplayer, youtube etc.

Nexus 7 is one of the best, cheapest place is play store
ive supplied loads since the summer

Got the 32gb nexus. So far it's what I expected. A gd option I reckon but almost wish I'd got the 3g version. Too expensive for me though. Wld recommend it.

The nexus is, in my opinion by far the best value for money on the market.

Paul_B if you buy a mifi (See the three website) you can use your wifi online or get a dongle and download the PPP app.

so the nexus is good but hasnt got expandable memory ( a memory card slot) also i believe you cant watch films and listen to music you have downloaded onto it as it doesnt support video or audio play back? im not sure how much this would matter as it supports youtube?

I can ask upstairs (we have some on test), however I think any Android tablet or phone will support movie or audio playback. My phone certainly does and I have a choice of players.

The Superpad I've got comes with 32g built in and you can just plug in another 32g stick, also plays bbc iplayer, youtube, tvcatchup, netflix and video at HD and has 3G

I bought the kindle fire for my wife and daughter for Xmas.

It's absolutely brilliant!!

You can download an app called VLC player free from the market, this will allow almost every type of video file to be played on the nexus.

BlackBerry PlayBook are good.. I've had one since November and I'm thoroughly impressed with it.. It does everything I want of it and more besides.

Plus one for the Playbook!

+1 on Samsung tablet . Really liking mine add Taptalk and opera browser and its perfect for on here . Snapping photos of projects and the such as you go . Spend the money on a 32gb sd card for plenty of storage
