Hi all,
I am after a new budget 7" tablet for general use on the train either by 3G Dongle or MIFI, as well as being able to watch the odd video streams via wifi whilst in bed, HDMI is essential, so that I can use it as a media player for the TV in the bedroom. Even though I am a Sky customer, from what I understand there is no Sky Go on Android Tablets & so the only methods of streaming are apps like Iplayer, as well as sites that offer streaming.
I did see an unbranded tablet on ebay for just under £100 which has :
7"Android 4.0.3 Tablet A10 All Winner CPU Coretex A8 running at 1.5ghz
1GB DDR3 RAM,
8GB HDD,
Support 3G,
FULL HD HDMI Port,WIFI
Free* keyboard* 16GB sd card* HDMI Cable *worth £20
Looking at the tablet design, I suspect that it is a Tabtronics device which has had some mixed reviews on Amazon like audio out of sync on Iplayer but I am not sure if that was down to that particular device having 512mb of RAM or not.
I know that some people will say that you get what you pay for, but I do know that just because something is unbranded or not a big name brand in he UK / USA, it doesn't mean that it will be rubbish. The tablet I currently have is a Ainol Novo 7 Paladin & while it is a good device for decent web search & the odd use as a portable media player, it still has major compatibility issues with a lot of apps on Google Play even with Magic Code installed & it still isn't flash compatible, due to the MIPS CPU, which is no good for when you want to use sites that stream video.
My budget is around £100 so am not expecting a beauty like the Nexus, but I would like to have something for the use I require it for, with smooth video playback either by file or stream as well as being able to use a decent percent of the apps on Google Play.
I understand that Ainol have released a couple new models like the Elf II that have an ARM based processor (Dual core). But I don't know anyone who has purchased one.
Is there anyone here who can suggest a tablet within my budget that can do what I require ?
Many Thanks
DJM

. I read that the screen of the Aurora II is an IPS made by LG, which is the same as the Ipad, which is good to know.
