Budhet tablets

Options
I've been looking to get a budget tablet so I can use it like a kindle but do a bit more on it if I want to
I've looked at Allwinner and cloudnine on amazon has anyone got any comments to make on these tablets
I'm disabled and short of cash but a tablet would be really useful for me

    Personally i would wait for prices to drop on the well known tablets . When/ if new models arrive April .

    Plus a google search for reviews on any you are considering .
    Have to say is any reviews on the budget stuff has so far in the main been cheap and nasty .

    Save up for a Google Nexus 7.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    The more you spend the better it will be

    Buy a Nexus 7

    From a recent issue of 'Computer Active' mag

    '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 Shoddy build quality outdated versions of Android, no Google Play store, slow processors and small fuzzy screens.....etc etc

    Avoid!

    My brother bought a couple for £100 from some Australian company for his kids.

    Battery life is 3-4hrs but when you press a button on the screen it seems to take an age to react. Playing Temple Run was painful.

    A friend of mine has some cheap 7" jobs in his shop. Again battery life is poor for a tablet and although it is quite fast, build quality is poor and the materials very cheap.
