Best cheap Android tablet

[d000hg]

We have a Nook and just got it rooted - wasn't THAT simple and took a fair amount of time. I suggest the Fire is better as it is still supported.

We just put Android on a friend's HP WebOS tablet and that went pretty smoothly

If you find you need extra space, I recommend getting one of these - Meenova.com, Welcome

I got a first generation one via Kickstarter and have been very pleased with it with my N10 and N5. Not that I really need it that much, to be honest.

Got one :-), Never use it though as the 32GB is doing me very well at the moment

My vote for Lenovo S6000. Good performance, cheap and seems reliable!

Just noticed this thread, £60 for a refurbed Tesco Hudl on their eBay outlet store.

Probably doesn't qualify as "best".

There was an Asus tablet I was going to get, until I realised it was only available in white so bought the Lenovo. The other question is which size, because 7" seems a waste of time to me (and the 10" tablet still seems quite small after a day spent looking at two 24" monitors).

XBMC on the fire with live tv (mediaportal on windows back end) .

Awesome!

next Chromecast to the big TV.

I bought an LG Gpad 8.3" after I lost my Nexus7 to the kids, I've never looked back as it's superior in every way.

Even the LG bloatware is decent, I paid £119 6 months ago at Tesco but no idea what deals can be had today?

Amazon are currently doing the Kindle Fire HD (8Gb) for £89 rather than £119. It's Android but Amazon's slight tweak - not sure if that matters at all for your stated uses. In fact I think if you wanted to watch streaming video from Amazon - LoveFilm as it was previously - Fire is the ONLY Android tablet supporting this.

+1 for Kindle fire. My mum does this! Also works with Netflix

But if you have other apps in mind, better check if they're available for Kindle Fire.

If you just want to stream, why not get an Apple TV? I also have a Blu Ray player that streams content, including Amazon, Netflix, iPlayer, etc

Because Apple is a pile of kak that only works if everything in your life is based on Apple stuff.

I know some people can deal with syncing their world to Apple, but I'm much more of a 'drag and drop, just get on with it' kinda person.
