  • I've have a samsung tab 8.9 which is excellent for web browsing and watching the odd tv programme and playing games, don't know what the N7 is like.

    How much is the N7 anyway?

    Your Samsung can't be much good at web browsing if it can't find this.

    As far as i am aware, there is no android tablet which will allow you to download and watch at a later date.

    See post #2.

    The story so far: *Requirements: Android 2.2 (or higher) with minimum ARMv7 processor...

    Thanks everyone! :T

    Looks like Nexus 7 seems quite popular!

    How about the iPad mini? Its only £60 more than the Nexus. Is it any better?

    I'm also wondering whether i am better off getting say an Asus Notebook for about the same price?

    Galaxy Note 10.1 for me as the extra power is better than the Tab .Plus i wanted the larger screen as i already have a large screen phone .

    But prices higher than pre Christmas and possible new model in the pipeline .

    TV Catchup- useful for most freeview channels .

    Superior battery life and a more mature (see #16) iPlayer app. Your call.

    Whichever one you go for, accessing anything founded on Flash content is going to be a real pain in the neck.

    While I'm an Android fangirl and don't really like Apple products at all. In your case you already have an iPhone, so would suggest that if you like it, you may as well stay in the Apple ecosystem and get an iPad or iPad mini as you will already be familiar with the OS and know your way around it.

    There's a new tablet just come out called the Acer Iconia B1. It's only £99 and you can get it from Asda.

    This is a review video of it on Androidizen.com

    It gets a good review so possibly worth a look.
    I can't actually see a review on that link it just looks like individual sentences. Has anyone read the reviews and anyone got a view on whether this tablet is any good. I'm looking for 7" tablet for an OAP so she can Skype, take photos, watch a TV prog or iplayer or sky go very rarely, send emails and read the newspaper. Is the acer iconia able to do that as I like the price!
