Does anyone use the above, and if so, pros and cons please. Thinking of getting one for DW, any comments gratefully received! Thanks very much.

DW?

Looks like a cheap android tablet. Fairly good reviews here: Amazon.co.uk User Recommendation

It's got the newest version of Android on it, but complaints include:

1* Skype doesn't work (probably user error)
2* Kindle app doesn't work (probably user error)
3* Screen not of great quality in terms of look or touch

^^ all taken from the Amazon reviews.

What do you want it to do?

You tend to get what you pay for on cheap tablets - low powered CPU, small amount of memory, poor quality screen etc.

DW = Dear Wife,
thanks both, will look at reviews and make a decision. This tablet is on offer in Sainsbury's for £79. Will be used for browsing, Youtube, films . Apparently memory can be increased with microSD card.

LOL, hadn't heard that one before!

You'll probably get away with browsing and Youtube, although it might not be the best experience (expect a little bit of lag etc)

This is the best (more or less) 7" android you can pick up at the moment: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Google-Nexus-Tablet-Android-Jellybean/dp/B008J6VYUC

I've used one before and it's got a quality feel to it which hasn't been present in the "low budget" tablet range.

Yes, I agree about the Nexus 7. Fabby little tablet which has even replaced my TomTom satnav.

Screen resolution is vital on these things and cheapy ones don't cut the mustard.
