What's wrong with what he said, it looks very good to me to be honest.

What version is your Pad and also my LG Optimus is very slow.

I just watched that video review... LOL. JUST LOL.

That looks terrible. Don't do it.

[Recursion]

Just wait for a proper company to make one instead of buying Chinese iPad knockoffs IMO.

galaxy tab

[jackass]

Do not buy these. Some may be acceptable, but still dodgy, so I really don't recommend.

And i've never had a problem with newer LEGIT Android devices...

galaxy tab

NO!

I tried one of these at BestBuy and they're just downright horrible all around. They're very very laggy compared to the iPad. Horrible experience.

But if you don't have the luxury of paying £500 for one, do you think it is reasonably decent? Nothing will really compare to most of apples portable products.

my iPad was $500, which would be £250. It's reasonable for me because I sold my laptop and bought this to replace it. I ended up using my iPad more than I ever used my laptop :P

They start out at £429 in the UK for the most basic one. A lot of people aren't going to have the money for that in the UK but would like an alternative costing less. :P

how did you get it at less than half price?

[HotelUser]

http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/apple-ipad.aspx

$549 and I put it on a credit card to get the extra $50 off.

[Casio]

I don't have galaxy tab money so would you recommend the pad I posted? As a cheap alternative

[Apple]

ePad lmfao. If you can't afford the iPad then don't go for a cheaper fake substitute. Go with a more well known and trusted brand such as galaxy tab.

[Casio]

Galaxy tab is more then the iPad lol

[xxMATTGxx]

Galaxy tab is more then the iPad lol

The hardware in that device is pretty much a joke (the one you posted) so I would say keep your money and save up.

[Stephen]

I'd save up instead of getting cheap stuff

[StefanWolves]

wait till the next gen ipad comes out and save for QUALITY products, don't buy cheap chinese black market crap, disaster waiting to happen

what about the new kindle? can't you internet browse etc on tht? they're only £150... rite?

I was thinking about the kindle but, I prefer the Android system.

[Stephen]

isnt the kindle in black and white

[Casio]

Yeah, I think it is only an e-reader also, here it is

[Stephen]

but with wifi you can view websites in black and white only

dont see how that would be an alternative to that android pad

[Casio]

I dont think you can browse the internet.

[Stephen]

kindle 3 has webkit browser

[Casio]

kindle 3 has webkit browser

But can i buy apps etc on it.

[Stephen]

yeah I think so. But still I wouldn't choose it as an alternative for a tablet, I'd wait for more tablets to come out or wait until the ipad 2 and if you can't afford that then the price of the ipad 1 will probably drop a little bit

[Oleh]

or just get a cheap netbook?

EDIT: Wrong thread lol
