:fingers-crossed:Well this question may get a whole lot of different answers depending who you ask, Also there is not enough details from the word "tablet" and price "150" & "200". I give it a shot since I have kids of my own. The price between 150 & 200 if its nook tablet 8 gig or 16gig, I would take the 16gig for a 150 or the question that could arise is why not buy a new Google nexus 7 8 gig (has gps) for that price 200 not including tax. Going back to the kids, the nook tablet is fairly durable due to the nature of drops that been performed by me and the kids. I have seen full front glass tablet dropped and it's not going to take the abuse like the nook tablet since it's not made with the full front glass. Give it time and it depending on the quantity that is being used, it's no doubt that it will be a root procedure for it.

The nook tablet is fine, especially for smaller kids. Very durable, I've dropped mine a few times.
If you're not tied into the Amazon ecosystem I'd go for the Nook.
Personally I prefer the nook over the kindle.

Nexus 7 or if nook is the way you want to go you may wait until the new model comes out next month, it has some pretty good specs.

More expensive: 16GB storage, 1GB RAM
Less expensive: 8GB storage, 512GB RAM
That's about it. Size shape, size, and color.

Best Android tab for college under 200 bucks?

Trying to be cheap as possible. Seen a couple places talking about Polaroid ICS factory rooted tab at big lots for 99 bucks. Mom told me about it too . Anyone know if out worth getting? open to suggestions here too for good tab.... Cheap good tab.
Sent from my Motorola Electrify using XDA
Take a look at http://reviews.cnet.com/2733-3126_7-936-5.html for a small list. They're not in the range of the Polaroid, but they're pretty reliable.
The Polaroid is only 800x480 at 7", I imagine you'll be doing some reading on it. The Nook Color and Kindle Fire are both 1024x600 at 7". The Polaroid has the advantage of having ICS preloaded, where as the other 2 have only unofficial ROMs.
I'd go with the newest Samsung galaxy tab 7. It is around $250 so a bit out of your price range, but if you could get together the money for it I would definitely reccomend you get it or the Kindle Fire.
Thanks alt for Al the suggestions... Have been looking in craigslist but pit in sticks where I live the two closest cities are to far right now and would like new with some warranty.

Acer A100 best tab i swear i loved it you can pick up below 200
For a new tab at 200 your looking at Kindle Fire. You can root and mall it as an android tab for full use of Play store and retains Kindle functionality.

Look on Craigslist!! I would only go for brands you know avoid coby and archos!!! And get a heat sensitive screen NOT pressure sensitive ..... these of course are all my opinions.
Kindle fire is a great option if u want a brand new one under 200: ) u can put a cm9 from on there

What is wrong with a Archos? Mine performs fantastic!
Oh and touch screens aren't "heat" sensitive, they rely on the electrical impulses of your body to detect your touches.

Depending on what you are looking for in a tablet, the polaroid (or all other $99 tablets ftm) will be a waste of your money. Tablets that inexpensive are not up to par with google's standards, and therefore, are not "google certified." These tablets will not have the best hardware, or even the play store/android market. They will have custom markets (applibs, amazon marketplace) The samsung galaxy tab 2 is a great tablet for the price, but if you are wanting to save a little bit more, you can try looking up archos online. They are a huge brand in europe (supposedly) and seem to function fairly well. Not to mention they are about the least expensive "google certified" tablets I have seen out there. Good luck. =D
Like I said not even sure if I am getting one now.. If I do I think I want a 10" screen and I have been looking on craigslist. Just nothing is within price range cuz I NEED money to pay for this coming semester. I'm transferring top ttu in Cookeville so if anyone knows some cheap apartments or something with internet included let me know

Nexus 7 (Google Tablet) Announced - No micro sd slot - Google TV also released

https://www.google.com/nexus/#/7
lack of micro sd really sucks since paying $50 for 8GB of extra space could get me a 64GB microsd...
I agree - plus a regular SD-slot would make it really useful for photographers and general data upload to the cloud. Oh well, I ponied up for the 16GB version anyway (actually two of them).

I'd party that extra 50 just to make it easier to load up apps and to have the extra storage for the so many things Android that still won't work properly with a SDHC card. Then still spend that $50 for a 64 GB SDXC card. But without it I doubt I'd buy either version of the tablet.

I thinking of using a micro usb to flash stick adapter to put my media content on for trips, the 16gb internal memory should hopefully be sufficient for a few apps and large games.
16GB is sufficient but barely

Google must have decided that cloud storage and streaming is the future or......., they are encouraging people to root there phones and use Wifi Tether:laugh:
8 & 16 would be great if it = exactly the amount of user accessable space available.
In reality we have 5.8xGB & 12.8xGB est storage.
This really hurts the gaming & app installs big-time. Music & Photos should be ok from the Cloud.
Wow....literally just was about to hit "Complete your purchase" when I actually started to do more research on it....
$230 (after tax S&H...) for an 8GB tablet w/ no MicroSDHC or MicroSDXC?? Definitely going to have to sleep on this one first.
But, my god, that thing is made by Asus, Nvidia Quad-Core, 4.1 Android Jelly Bean!
$230 is not bad....Somebody convince me to buy it!!
EDIT: But where oh where will I put my many episodes of Star Trek? MacGyver? Stargate SG-1? I can't access that content when I have no internet available at work....

Its a mental challenge really:
Just think, $230 total is just $20 shy of the 16GB at $250 but that in reality + shipping could be $280.
No sd card slot has prevented me from owning a nexus device.... That is a deal breaker for me! Once they get that, I'm onboard

amazon with their private marketplace and semi-forked os is damaging google sales.
this tablet its intended as a replacement for the kindle fire - if you were intrested in buying a kindle fire this is better in any possible way and cost the same.
if you wanted to buy a more generic tablet, this is expressly built so the other units remain actractive even if they cost more as google dont want to cannibalize its partners sales.
basically its a "**** you, amazon" gift from google.

I can't remember but the packaging made it out to be pretty much indestructible, and memory cards break on me all the time, all types and prices , and I gotta say its been awesome never a problem, so no micro sd, is a real let down, and I think I'm gonna swing towards the s3 and keep the EVO, as the missus is happy with her iPhone

When will these manufactures learn that expandable memory is a must? We don't always have access to WiFi to use the cloud. This greatly limits when and where we can use their products. Why do they seem hell bent on pushing the cloud on us. Yes its nice to have online storage but when your not near WiFi it makes it useless.

ALLEGED SPECS for the YP-GP1 (32GB) (Samsung's Up-and-Coming Android 4.0 Player)

I don't know if anyone else has heard, but I first read reports of the up-and-coming Samsung Galaxy Player (YP-GP1) on Naver (a Korean search engine). Thereafter, I did a Google search and found lots of intriguing articles, with the attached below being one of the more in-detail articles. This is pretty exciting and I know I am not the only one who is hoping for Samsung to release a 5-inch variant again. (Perhaps even Galaxy Note sized?)
Anyway, for more details check out the article and by all means, hit Google up.
Please, also, feel free to share any more insight, thoughts, ideas, opinions, etc.

A Nexus 7 is a genius ploy to make buyers aim towards the $250 16gb version as to avoid running out of space. That's the only reason they offer it for $200 @ 8gb, because they know the majority will go, "Hmm, I need more space then 8gb, $50 more isn't that bad".
Also with the Nexus 7 you lose portability (and I don't mean carrying in a bag, I mean being able to slip it into a binder, or in your pocket).
If you have lots of stuff that you want to keep with you... Get a galaxy player because it can have up to over 70GB of storage with the new 64gb microSDs, while a Nexus 7 can have a max of 16gb... total.

Portability and space (or lack of it) become pretty insignificant when you consider it gets updates straight from Google and is almost un-brickable. It also has a very very powerful Tegra 3 processor and comes with £15 (or $25) of play store credit. I got my Nexus 7 16GB for £190 and now I'm seriously considering never buying a non Nexus device again. It's that good

I recently bought a Huawei MediaPad 7" and am very happy with it as well. Alluminium body, 3G, expandable memory, beautiful IPS screen. Many rewievers compare the build quality of it with that of an iPad. No joke, the device is very solid. Now, that i owe a tablet with 3G i think one without it (and especially without expandable memory) is a crippled device. Samsung Galaxy 5 though is a different kind of animal, it's as big as a device can get before becoming unpocketable, something you can just slip into your pocket and go. Plus, if Samsung puts a bt handsfree profile into it, the way they did with a 3.6 and 4.2, it will be possible to use it as a handsfree in combination with a larger 3G-enabled tablet (which is exactly what i do now with my Mediapad and SG 3.6).
I can't verify the authenticity of the information found on this link, but should this be a valid source,
here are some very detailed specs of the YP-GP1 32GB.

I suspect that the screen size is 900(not 960) X560. It would then have the same aspect ratio and ppi as the GP5.0 and would be a better fit for the 3.4" width.

[Q] Which is better Archos 80 XS or Archos 101 XS?

I will be moving to the new Archos line as soon as it is released so I need your guys help on which one to move to. The reason I ask is because I know that the 80 XS will have a rockchip processor while the 101XS will have a TI OMAP 4470. Which will be better in terms of development as well. I would really your opinions. Thanks
They both are very low end. Not very good for development considering not a lot of development for it. You should consider the nexus 7 or nexus 10 instead.

Yea I know Nexus is better 100% of the time for development. No argument there. But I don't really like the fact that non of those had sd card slots. I really like Archos new design. Idk, I like having something different and Archos is just that. When I say development I mean that which will get more. I know that compared to other devices there is extremely little going on here. I guess it might all come down to which one Surdu supports lol. Anyone has any suggestions?

I have the 80g9. The form factor is the same as the 8xs. I love the size of it. Typing on screen is easy and its just the right size for most every task. I find the larger tablets cumbersome to hold for longer periods.
I'm anxiously waiting for the 8xs here in n/a.
Sent from my ARCHOS 80G9 using xda app-developers app
Yea. The 80g9 was the perfect midpoint. I still want to know which would perform better though. TI OMAP4470 or rk3066
What are you doing with your tablet? From the videos I have seen, the new archos performs smooth and fast. The 8" I have not seen in action yet. But having my 80g9 for awhile now and running serdu's clean and fast rom, the only issue now is the amount of ram in my tablet. 512mb fills up quickly and a reboot is needed every so often to keep the tablet fast. You know when you have your ram filled as the tablet is slow to react.
A non issue with the tablets with 1 gb of ram.
Sent from my ARCHOS 80G9 using xda app-developers app
oh okay good. I also have 512mb Ram and it's killing me lol. My only other issue now is the keyboard size in the cover board. An 8 inch keyboard might be too small. Did you check that out by chance? Surdu's Clean and Fast is the best, It's what I'm running now.

I consider both portable. I'm used to lugging around a 17" Acer notebook. I find the 8" form factor much nicer to use from an ergo standpoint. Easy to type in portrait and still a big enough screen to do other things.

I bought the 80 g9 because of the form factor as well. I'm not too sure about the 8 inch this time around though. That is because of the bezel size, it is way too big.

Archos 80XS use Rockchip 3066 from China! => 101XS better ( use TI OMAP 4470 )
I don't see the difference if it originates from China. Other than cheaper production costs. Not sure if TI makes there chips from USA though. I just honestly don't see your point on how that makes the 101XS better because of that. If you care to explain how that would be great. Thanks for the response though, I appreciate it.

I suspect that he was referring to the fact that there is a stereotype (not entirely undeserved it must be said) that RockChip processors are of a lower quality and performace level than their TI, Qualcomm, etc. alternatives.
As of now there is less of a quality and performace gap (so far as I am aware) between RockChip CPUs and the CPUs of other manufacturers. I doubt very much if you would notice any performance issues if you went the 80xs over the 101xs, but (as you can tell if you've looked at the dev section for these devices) there is slightly more developer activity for the 101xs, so that may say something about the processor.
Could I enquire which of the two devices you chose in the end? (Assuming you chose either of them, of course.)

[Q] Archos Gen10 80xs or Nexus 7 or Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7in

Hi Guys,
I would like to hear some of you opinions on which tablet to get for my 8 year old son.
I was looking at the Archos because it seemed cool with the keyboard cover and the price. I live in Europe and I want to only spend around 200 Euros. I am looking at used devices as well, in order to stay around the 200 amount.
He will primarily be using it for games and video (Netflix, XBMC, Youtube, etc). However, I want him to start using it more with homework, which I provide him with (English and Math).
1. The Archos Gen10 80xs 215 € with shipping.
2. I have found the Nexus 7 (32GB) used, but nice and in box for about 240 €, and brand new for 270 €.
3. I have found the Samsung Tab 2 7 (8GB) used but nice in box for about 140 -150 € or new for 220 €
If I choose used, it will only be where I pick it up and check the device and get the original receipt. We have 2 year garantee on everything here.
So which one is the best one to get?
His BDAY is March 6th. So I have a little time to decide, but if I need to order the Archos, I will need to do it soon.
Thanks a lot for any input you guys have.
Best Regards,

For me, I prefer a bigger screen than the Nexus 7 and I want/need an SD card slot and HDMI output so the Archos wins.
The coverboard is quite useful, not as good as a laptop keyboard of course but does make typing faster than the on-screen keyboard.
I haven't used the Samsung so can't comment.

I vote for the archos too. Bigger screen and expandable storage win. I have not used the 80xs, so I don't know how fluid it is, but it has to be better than my 80g9.

I agree. The 80g9 is probably the best size for a tablet. I wish that archos would build a high quality powerful tablet with the 80g9 dimensions. Would be in my hands for sure.
