Hi there
I am in the market for a tablet, and its a blinking minefield out there. I know about the flash problems and its a minefield.
I want a tablet that will do the usual facebook stuff including facebook games (flash based) bbc i player tv catch up etc all the things that have sadly been lost due to flash pulling out of google play.
anyway I have been given a few tablets that may fit my needs and would really appriciate you guys help and advice before I commit.
My budget is limited its £150 tops.
The playbook has dropped in price & I know its apps are limited however it does what I need I guess.
Priced around £129
This one was suggested as a better option & I really need feedback:

In your case (because you want flash) I would choose an android tablet.
You could get a nexus 7 tablet for around that price. They're pretty awesome.

It supports BBC iPlayer:

And there are instructions to install flash on it:

anyone else ??
The screen is one of the best for a 7" tablet, since its a nexus tablet you will get the latest android OS on it.
The tbalet is fine for surfing, emails, facebook, twitter, apps, watching films, listening to music on etc.
coffoholic mentioned http://www.howtogeek.com/, it's a great place for help with technology.
But please if anyone can add more infor not matter how small, please add.
If I were looking for a new tablet then I would have to agree with this at the price the OP quotes. Fits the bill exactly with the additional advice given on flash etc.
Some people say whilst the nexus is brill the screen is too small, I wish I could have a few on trial & keep the best *lol*
If only !! I really appriciated everyone input, it helps
