    Hi Zerks, I got the A10 (Cambridge Sciences) unit that you recommended on page 18 of the thread you have linked above.

    OP, it similar to yours but has 8gb hard drive and 3200 ma/h battery for the same money. It is performing well.

    Vat and post office handling charges totaled 21 euro, you might escape customs detection as its a game of luck.

    Similar Spec on EBay through a UK Seller for £55 including shipping.

    Ultrathin 7" inch Android 4.0 Tablet PC 1.2+GHz Allwinner A13 4GB

    Add another €3.50 for Parcel Motel and you get it for around €72 with no customs issues and far shorter lead time.

    From Focal Price. Don't know how much you'd get caught on customs but for €58 I might take a punt on it? Was thinking of a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 but am loath to part with €239 when I can get this for €58! Here's the specs:

    I ended up going with this one: http://www.futeko.com/products/TAB024.php

    It was recommended here and so far I'm quite pleased with it. You can expand the memory to 32g.

    Well, the one I got was OK...

    - Battery life was appalling, around an hour
    - Could not recharge via usb, had to use supplied charger - which failed 6 weeks later
    - Processor just about copes with speed, there are delays from time to time
    - SD card slot was poor - not easy to remove the card
    - I couldn't move apps to the SD card and had to use the 4GB internal memory

    The screen and touch controls were fine, as good as I expected for the price.

    They are a bit of a chance.

    I ordered similar from focal price back in sep, cost me €48
    First of all it arrived after 1 month & was held by customs
    I got a letter from customs to provide PayPal receipt & paid extra €17 to get it so total cost €65, it has A8 cortex cpu

    it was different than the one they showed in pics & useless to me
    i didnt claim as i have to take pics, claim it on paypal return it on my expense then wait for another & may be pay another customs charge so i leave & it was waste of money

    the next day i searched adverts & a nice seller sold me a way better tablet in €85 delivered to my door in €85, it has A9 cortex cpu which is a lot better than A8, that was a gift for someone & still work great

    i bought recently Samsung Galaxy Tab for myself & it is no match to these cheap tablets, there is a big difference & its worth spending
