I am in the market for a tablet, a cheap one. This rules out iOS and Samsung products. So I'm guessing that Android will be where I end up but can anyone advise me of a good android tablet, with (at least) a front facing camera and expandable memory?

It's a bit confusing looking online as there seem to be so many manufacturers out there. Anything under 100 euro would be good but I could stretch the budget a bit if needed for a very good tablet.

I've gone through a few pages of that thread and there's a few alternatives mentioned but what are they like?

I'm looking for something that will be used for general browsing (Facebook, youtube etc) and prob not a lot more.
Although I'm tempted to get one for myself to mess about with.

I would steer clear of the ones above, they look very bad quality to me and I have never heard of the brands.

You get what you pay for.

I just got this tablet an hour ago. I ordered it off www.elara.ie on Wednesday. I love it. It's so easy to use. It cost €140.22 in total (including VAT and delivery charge) (€114 without). It's a brilliant deal. Delighted with my purchase.
