well folks,
Start discussing...

Though please could you also add the forbidden fruit to the mix.

As lets be honest they may cost more, but once you have eaten from the tree. You can not go back.

For example

Playbook... Technically strong, but its doubtful it will be around for too long. Even with the the power of the amazon.

Samsung... Good mix of quality and value but will always lag behind the mainstay of the android fleet.

Nexus... Technically excellent, full of geeky goodness amazing value, has the support of the google brothers. But...

Ipad / Ipad mini.... It may be expensive DOUBLE the price of some of the others. But it works. Really ask your white haired grand mother what she would want to use and they will pick the apple. Also the fact it works so well causes anti apple trolls to get so angry they turn in to pineapples and then explode!


If you are going to join a gang

The RIM boys and there playbook!
There the kids who bought beta max in 1996 and claim it was better than DVD.

The Google Gang!
chanting they would be the best if....!
If app makers would make it work blah blah blah.
Its got more power, but...! etc

The EVIL overlord Apple!
In the real world the bad guys win.
Apple may use there army of middle class, gap wearing, socially acceptable, BBC radio 4 listing, shock troops.
They may even use the labor unborn babies in there underground lair, but...
They still win!

The Curry's offer quoted is for the Wifi only version of the Nexus 7 - website doesn't make this very obvious!

Novatech (.co.uk) have 7" tablets from £69 and 10" from £160.
Some of the memory capacities are small but they are all expandable with SD cards.
I do not have a tablet but do have other Novatech stuff and it is good quality.
