if memory card important, then prob the Galaxy Tab 2 7".

If you can do without, the Nexus 7 beats the Galaxy Tab in every other department.

It's pretty obvious fact that both 3G connectivity and SD card slots usually increase the price of a product, and personally I don't think a decent tablet with all those features even exists at the price point the OP is asking for, so in my view the Nexus 7 is a reasonable alternative. Plus if you have a phone capable of Wireless Hotspot, then is 3G really even necessary unless for price plans/other contract limitations on your phone....?

I looked at the 8gb Samsug Galaxy Tab and another cheap tablet but was told by a few on another thread on here to got the Nexus 7.
I myself was not wanting to go much over £200 for a tablet.
Had the Nexus 7 abou 24 hours now and apart from it not having flash player im very happy with it so far.
Im also getting a case for it from Amazon that should arrive in the next 3 or 4 days.

I've got a pre-order in for this http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...ls_o01_s00_i00

- it looks to tick all the boxes, although 3G is external. Probably won't need it, though. And the price is very low.

Its says Currently unavailable.
We don't know when or if this item will be back in stock.
It also dont say the price.
The nexus 7 comes with the new Andriod 4.1 Jellybean that only came out a few weeks ago.

I got my order in before they ran out - now waiting for delivery. Cost me £99. There are several others on Amazon for about the same price.

Appears to be a Tabtronics Xtreme.
On the face of it they look good value IPS tablets for £100.

8" is probably the ideal size for 1024x768 resolution.

If it doesn't have flash does that mean it can't play some videos ?

If you buy one have a look on a forum like SlateDroid - lots of info and help regarding a lot of the Chinese tablets - if you don't mind messing round a bit a bargain can be had.
