    Anyone care to offer an opinion on this android tablet? I am unfamiliar with the brand name but the specs look the business.. Nice big screen also..

    For a little more, you can get a "real brand" from DABS.IE

    I can only find a 1gb in DID for €169.

    I'm in the market for a new tab, this looks ok but I think there are better deals to be had on either the first or second gen Nexus devices.

    Think I'll pay the little extra and go for that.

    Although the above two suggestions seem to be much better value for money, I was reallly hoping to get something with a bigger screen, as it will primarly be used for streaming media. I will be keepin my laptop for work purposes.

    Any suggestions on offers for tablet deals with bigger screens?

    I couldn't really say man, like I said before though, after doing a limited amount of research, I'm gonna go with either a first or second gen Nexus 7. I already own this, and it's **** to be honest. I'll be rooting and unlocking aswell. Much more support for the Nexus in that regard. Plus, I'm willing to live with the 7" screen for the occasional movie.

    If you are planning on watching movies without headphones, get the newer nexus. Speakers in the first one are really bad.
