Tablet Help......

I have just read the other thread on here about tablet purchase but I want to really be spending under £100. What am I supposed to be looking for when I purchase them, I have had a look at this one http://www.ebuyer.com/407319-sumvision-cyclone-voyager-tablet-pc-cycvoy7 any advice and comments would be greatly appreciated. Also are you able to run sat nav on them? If so how would I do this?

I've seen the one on google, i'm not sure if I need to buy one as good as the nexus 7 rather than a cheaper one?

For the sat nav apps I use google maps/ navigation, have also downloaded co pilot and navfree but as of yet not used the last 2. As to how you use the app have a practice at home before you use it on a journey, google maps is easy to use.

What other uses apart from sat nav do you want from a tablet ?

As to what you look for, well Id get 1 with the best screen (as i understand it there are 2 types of screen and 1 is better than the other). Ive got a nexus 7 and its preetty dam good.

I'm not really sure how much I will use it which is why i'm relectant to spend a lot on it. I've already got a kindle and still not sold on the shiny screen for your books. What peoples opinions on this? Probably just do a fair bit on surfing, apps for silly things a few games rather than using a DS and sat nav. I'm struggling just because there are so many out there and the price range is so vast.

Worst products of 2012

Cheap, shoddy Android tablets
Tablets from no-name brands are cheap & terrible. Shoddy build quality outdated versions of Android, no Google Play store, slow processors and small fuzzy screens.....etc etc

Not sure all the cheaper tablets have GPS, which would be essential to use it as a satnav
