    OK I guess I got better service purchasing it through Google Play.

    I see Argos has its own el cheapo tablet Mytablet at £99, out in time for crimbo.
    lol you really selling that one :-)

    think probably £100 you pay for what you get - tho at the moment its 100% better than my Nexus is!

    Avoid the Argos tablet, it really is rubbish.

    The hudl is great and offers better value for money than most, but don't take my word for it. Check out the Hudl User Group website for independent user reviews (Link in my profile).

    Nexus, kindle etc are all good, too.

    Ebuyer offers some good value tablets by Sumvision and Hisense; these are the ones running Android 4.2:

    Be careful to check reviews on these type of brands, they're prone to screen, overheating, and electrical problems.

    I know it's old technology but I love my Blackberry Playbook. I got a Hudl a few days ago and I like it but I think that the video quality, sound quality and particularly the video camera and photos on the Playbook are far better. You can get a 64gb Playbook for about £120 with refurbished ones costing much less. There are plenty of sensible apps available but no Skype.
