    You are not adding anything to the discussion other than confusion. Both the Samsung and the Kindle Fire were suggested before you(post #7 & post #28) posted your 'suggestions' in post #31 and here you are appearing to claim the credit.
    Your irrelevant post on iOS set the standard for the rest of your posts on this thread and others.
    You are obviously irritating quite a few people in a relatively short time.
    So perhaps sit back, take note of what has already been written and only post if you have something relevant to add.

    -The owner of the thread asked for quality and apple are know for their quality products.

    -I am not the case of the irritation.

    Quite soon, people will begin to report your posts for Trolling. The budget was stated at £100 or thereabouts.

    Post a suitable iOS Tablet at that price point or just go away and stop irritating everyone with your nonsense.

    I been on this forum since 2012 neither I am a spammer in the making or a troll. Like I explained before a budget is never fixed and intents to change.

    The word is TEND, not INTENT.

    I have not got the time to list all the technical errors you have declared since I was last online...

    But I do wonder what you mean by 'a budget is never fixed' ? maybe in your life but by heck it is in mine! - and most peoples I suspect.

    If have £100 to spend on something then yes it might waver by £20 each way but no way its going to become £270 (such as a ipad mini)..ever..ever..ever!

    Ozzy89.
    just spammed all your post, was going to report you, but there isnt an option for being a pain in the .....
    when i have a budget i stick to it. on this occasion it is £130 at a push.
    not £100 but may stretch to a £270 ipad mini.
    have a look at what the website is called "moneysavingexpert"
    get the hint??

  • Im going to weigh in on this friendly thread and cut the c£$%.

    Forget the cheaper tablets full stop.

    Basically it goes;

    1.Ipad/Nexus 7
    2.Samsung Tab
    3.Blackberry Playbook.

    None will store half of Blockbuster, but will do some of what you want,I know you only want to spend £100 but you really do get what you pay for,if it was me I'd pay the extra for the Nexus,if you really cant push above 100,I seriously wouldnt bother at all.
    Went shoplifting at the Disneystore today.

    Got a huge Buzz out of it.

    Did you read what the OP wants to do with it? E-reader, internet, music, apps. We're not talking games here. We know a a budget model isn't going to set the world on fire, but it's going to fulfill the needs of the OP.

    There's an MSE page for 'cheap' tablets - http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/deals/cheap-tablets

    You're best bet is to get down to carphone warehouse/PC world and have a play on some different models. See what they're like. Also, read some reviews on Amazon.

    If you can get the Acer Iconica for £79, it's the one i'd go for, especially reading the reviews on Amazon - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Acer-Iconia-7-inch-Tablet-Android/dp/B00BCTK10C
