Post by: JaS on April 10, 2013, 03:31:06 PM

I am tired of watching movies,internet/web browser on my phone. I want a bigger screen and faster services. Can someone recommend me a good tablets that I can do all that? I'm thinking toward a Ipad but I don't know if that would be my best choices. $500 is my budget!

Thank you!

I have a Google Nexus 7.  It is around $199.  For what I use it for, it works great.  the 10" version is about $400. 
Mine doesn't have a mobile connection (just WiFi).

If you want flash go with an Android. I like the Google Nexus 10.

walmart/bestbuy dropped the prices on ipad and ipad mini. get one of those and install XBMC for all of your video content needs.

I went with the Nexus 7 over the mini Ipad.  I saved about $130 bucks for the base model.  Actually I bought the model with the higher capacity which was $50 more, so I still ended up saving $80.

Total cost was $250, plus I believe you get the latest andriod updates on these tablets since they are Google produced.  The Nexus 7 I have is wifi only, but I think you can get a 3g version.  Its pretty cool and I like it.  I'm sure the Ipad would be fine too, but I went with value on this one.
