Tablets--preferences?

[claydoh]

Me, I am waiting for those dirt cheap generic tablets to get screens with a decent resolution and enough ram to actually be usable. I can't afford the ones I want, even used or refurbs, and I can't justify getting one, no matter how much I drool. Though the holiday season has brought some of these cheapies to under 50 dollars

If your thinking of upgrading to Android 5 I'd read this if I were you.

@Nickstone, thanks for that link. I had expected it! I'm sure the Tab S won't jump into Lollipop just yet. I don't think reviewers have fully tested it with 'Real Apps' on the Nexus 9.

@claydoh, I was hoping for something like the Nexus 7 done in 8", at the lower-positioned Google pricing rather than the Nexus 9 that comes in $o high.

How about this beastie, lol

Intel Dual Core, CloverTrail+Z2520, bluetooth....60 bucks shipped
and ......apparently zero rooting/rom options, unless this is already rooted, some of this brand seem to be that way.

I wouldn't consider 1024 x 600 to be anything like a decent resolution on a 7" screen.

Not even close. Then there is the Intel Clover Trail

60 dollahs, tho!

Have you considered repairing a broken tablet? Something like a screen replacement...

[claydoh]

I am trying to avoid looking at them at all, lol!
I have to scrape the money together for my hopeful trip to Oz this spring

I just did a search on Amazon UK, any of these take your fancy?

I think I found the perfect headache maker

Yeah, I plan to live dangerously.
HERE is a grand cheep tablet to hack on

This page shows a boot loader of some sort.... something to hack on

I am seriously considering wasting a christmas gift card on this

They are not selling out like most Newegg shellshocker deals do. Hell that 16 gb thing should be called a 3gb thing after Windows is factored in

Looks like the link to the tablet needs fixing? I get
"Perhaps we can get you started in one of these areas:"

Oh no, nothing so posh

The ShellShocker url isn't valid any more, though it is still offered at the discount price.

No, I didn't order it. But it would have been funny to check it out.
Note the free year of office 365 !!

That link doesn't work either.

You're in danger of losing your audience..
