Want to get a tablet as a present. Was looking at the Kindle Fire bit it's slightly out of my price range. Can someone recommend a decent cheaper option? (preferably not from US as I don't want hassle with customs)

Have read through thread but there's so many discussed it's confusing me.

Haha yeah it started as a discussion for the OP tablet then moved onto any cheap tablet we can find from around 15 pages back

If you want to avoid customs I look at futeko as they ship from UK. Few options from there but depends on your price range and what your looking for.

Jarren

Futeko would be my prefered choice,based in Uk,12 months warranty,very good specs vs price .

Other that Futeko only Amazon.uk come close .

Tusky

Cheers for the help. Anything decent for about €80ish on Futeko/Amazon?

My head is like that too.

Put off getting the Nova 7 Mars but actually think this is better deal than the Crystal and may pay the extra.

Do Amazon not offer free delivery to anything over a certain amount to Ireland?

Jarren

Only chosen Amazon retailers I'm afraid

Tick FREE Super Saver Delivery box to find out

think Im going to go with this for our 5 year old... any downsides? says it can run xbmc, anyone tested this?

Probably perfect for kids (Shame), but has to be mentioned..

Creative Ziio is down in price..

The 10" models were snapped up in minutes at €119

There are still 7" models left. 8GB (They do take SD) version €69.99. They may drop more, the resolution is 480 x 800 which isn't the best, but is great for kids. The sound (I know kinda obvious, it's creative, but it is still amazing) on these, is amazing. Unreal. My friend bought one, and plonks it down when we're in the house with his music streaming from it. He says movies are amazing to watch on it, with the sound effects.
They did sell reasonably well, and are a well built, lovely tablet, just unfortunately for them, they were caught up like others, in high prices in production, and low cost competition on the market. Not sure how much damage tablets did to Creative, but they did do damage.

LINK TO 7" FOR €69.99
LINK TO 10" FOR €119 (Cureently out of Stock, but more coming soon)


There are a few people working on roms for this, i haven't heard anything in a while, so i don't know how far they got.
Also here is ROM manager for Ziio - Must Have

Thanks for that!
Ordered on the 11/11 shipped on the 12th and My Tabs have been in Shannon since the 16th November.
FedEX are a bunch of twats to deal with!
Worst customer service and ineptness I've ever encountered.
I've had to follow up myself with customs, forwarded the SAD clearence authorisation number to FedEX, yet as far FedEX are concerned its still with customs in Dublin....When the package is actually in shannon
This is despite the scan history showing it as being on a van for delivery since the 16th.
Hopefully I'll have them tomorrow....
Or it shall be another day on the phone with FedEX :mad:

It'll be worth the wait, if you have any problems flashing PM me. Also I wouldn't use the USB cable that came with the tablet when flashing as these can vary in quality

Nice score, my Ainol Novo Crystal gets around 5500.

banie01

I should have no issues with flashing (famous last words!)
As I have plenty of CWM/Recovery and linux experience....
That said, should it all go FUBAR, I'll be onto ya! haha

Copper_pipe

Make sure you know with button is vol+ and which is vol- , for some reason mine are the reverse of what you'd expect them to be

Do-more

Just be aware that there is a new version of Antutu (version 3.01) in the play store and the scores in the new version can be considerably higher than in the older versions so you need to be sure you are comparing like with like.

Just checked my son's Cube U20GT which is still on the stock ICS 1.03 firmware and it scores 11401 (v3.01)

Cube have finally released a Jellybean update for the U20GT so as soon as a cooked Rom appears in the next few days I will flash it.

Guys a cheap sturdy tablet for an 8 year old?

Jarren

There is no such thing as sturdy tablet ,maybe military specs but they usually cost a few thousand Dollars.

Email/contact them if this would fit your 7 inch tablet

http://www.gumdropcases.com/kindle-fire.html

or

just a simple case/cover would do

http://www.focalcase.com/google-nexus-7-cases-google-nexus-7-leather-case-c-199_201.html

Again,contact them to find out if this is compatible with your purchase

However if you just want to get a case/cover without messing

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/7-inch-Android-Tablet-PC-Leather-Look-Case-Flip-Cover-Free-Fast-Delivery-/170828162857?pt=UK_iPad_Tablet_Cases_Covers_Keyboard_Folios&hash=item27c626e729

As for the tablet for the 8 year old this would be my pick

http://www.ainol-novo.com/ainol-novo-7-venus-tablet-pc-7-inch-android-4-1-jelly-bean-dual-camera-bluetooth-gps.html

Mind you ,you could always order the same item from

http://www.futeko.com/products/TAB030.php

when it becomes available, perfect Christmas prezzie I'd say.

Has your friend rooted his ZiiO so as to install the Play Store ,is it a difficult process ?

No he installed them From their store. He doesn't install many, only uses it as a music (ocassional media) player. Google initially didn't allow non phone devices to have google market. That changed with android 3.
Many people found workarounds anyway
You could probably use Pandaapp as well..

Ziio, is only really for audio. Or kids, as it's pretty robust. But as a tablet that you want to play with and use on a every day basis. Forget it. It's a good price though.

I didn't use ParcelMotel, they shipped via ParcelForce global priority, I wouldn't start to worry just yet.

A ROM is just a custom firmware that you load instead of the stock factory firmware. Ingadget seem to have localized it for the UK market so it might be unneccesary.

I'd go for the Momo8 over the Crystal, the Crystal is okay for young kids but I've found the Wifi to be so-so i.e sometimes its really fast and other times its like dial up.

I'd imagine the Momo to be better, it has a faster CPU,GPU, higher res screen, better quality screen and 1 inch larger. All together its probably worth the extra cash.

What tablet did you get?

EDIT.
Looking over your previous posts, i think you got the Momo8?

ry putting a pin or toothpick in the side. (Small pinhole) That is to reset the tablet.

it looks like you got a lemon ,try ringing them and if there is no reply just fill out this form.


http://ingadget.co.uk/index.php?route=account/return/insert

I picked up something on their returns policy

Certain products need to be returned to our suppliers, for inspection and possible repair, before a credit can be issued.

I only hope that they are not thinking of sending your tablet back to China which in a reality would mean a few months wasted .

08454 636 632 - call them anyway to see what they say .

Allyall

It seems there are lots of the momo8's with that problem...

Google pulls up tons of results..

Here is a possible solution (For the momo9, but may help you)

http://tabletrepublic.com/forum/iview-760tpc-ployer-momo9/stock-ics-4-03-momo-just-stopped-booting-stuck-2074.html

Further reading seems to point the finger at the firmware. If this is the case, the problem isn't as bad as you may have thought.

You need to upgrade to the newest firmware. So, assuming you can't get it unfrozen, just let the battery die out.
When it is fully dead, charge it up - DON'T TURN IT ON.

Download the firmware - http://www.ployer-tablet.com/download/

When fully charged, turn it on and update the firmware.
