I am going to be starting a website in the new year. This XXX could come in very handy.

Still need a name for a site that can double as a brand though, something sh1te and random would be what I want but I cant think of anything yet

You can get them for that price, but you'll wish you hadn't.

I've tested a lot of tablets over the last year for work and the cheap ones are ok for maybe a bit of email and web browsing etc but will drive you mad eventually.

Maybe look into the Nook(old and new versions) or Amazon kindle fire, I've tested a rooted nook but not got my hands on a kindle fire yet. Or if you can get a HP TouchPad for a decent price that might also be an option.

They are all around the 200 mark price wise.

There is no confusion like finding an empty Scientology emergenetics DVD case in your living room and having absolutely no idea how it got there.

Maybe Rob Hubbard beamed it in.

Ron! If you're out there, can you please beam in a Four Star Pizza too?!

dedicated graphics processor **

It runs webOS but has been hacked for android.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_TouchPad#WebOS

As for that tablet you linked to I just cant say.
I've tested about 10 generic android tablets in the last few months and they have all been terrible.
I gave a few out to some users to see what they thought. All negative feedback and the battery life was really bad on most and just plain bad on the rest.

Basically the best bet for cheap and decent tablets was the dirt cheap HP touchpads a few months back.

It may say it has a dedicated graphics processor but it actually means nothing unless it can use it properly.

Check reviews is all you can do for the generic tablets really.

The Nook and Kindle fire is probably your best bet for a decent enough tablet around that price, but maybe they're not quite what you want.

Or see if you can get yourself a second hand 16gb wifi only iPad 1 for around that price. It's not android but if you want games and a decent tablet it's the way to go.

Haha thanks for the good information. I'm not sure if I would bother getting web os and hacking it. The second hand ipad seems like a good option if I can find one- wifi only is better in my opion anyway. What's this Nook you've mentioned?

I don't like the idea of Amazon trying to control my content on the Fire For a similar price I can buy a Sony Xeperia Play with 16gb memory and a dedicated gamepad!

True, but thats not a tablet.
It sounds like you really just want it for games.
Would you not be better off with a handheld console or two?

Or will you use the tablet for other stuff as well?

Just trying out the new Xbox 360 Dashboard on the arcade machine. Seems decent enough.
The question is should I now install a hidden Kinect thing behind the marquee:D

I went into easons to pick up retrogamer magazine. It wasn't there because I'm a dope and it's not out until tomorrow (most likely friday in Ireland).

I didn't want to leave empty handed so spied Kafka on the Shore and bought it.

I think I caught hipster from mr ultimate.

johnny_ultimate

I don't know how I got this rep as a hipster

I only like one Girls' songs, I am not built for skinny jeans, and I sure as hell giggle sarcastically when I see an absurd character decked out in American Apparell / Urban Outfitters clothes.

Retr0gamer

I'll forgive you if the book is good.

CiDeRmAn

Its probably because your love of videogames doesn't begin with Doom, continue to Quake and then leap forward to some 3rd rate RPG.... if it did you'd be diametrically opposed to the hipster way of life...
Look inside, you know the truth, damn hipster!

Only a true hipster would deny that they are a hipster.
