could someone please recommend me a budget android tablet its mainly for playing facebook games looking through the internet and facebook etc and a few apps what gig would you recommend... oh and also ive been told you cant put apps on the sd card only music ,pics etc is this correct ?

What size are you after? And what is your budget?

It's difficult to recommend one without that information.

would like it an 8inch or above

Bear in mind that if you're planning to play the Flash games that you find on Facebook, they're created for interaction with a mouse pointer. You might find that playing them with a finger, which isn't pointy, is not as much fun. You'd probably enjoy them more if you downloaded the equivalent apps (if there are apps for them).

Also, if you're going for an up to date tablet with the newest Android OS, it won't come with Flash as Flash for mobile has been discontinued by Adobe. You may still be able to side-load it and get it to work with a different browser, but it probably won't work with Chrome.

I would recommend something like a Nook HD+ for £130 http://www.very.co.uk/nook-hd-16gb-9...tb_29821791074

can i not use a mouse on it through bluetooth or something (sorry never had a tablet before always had laptops)

was looking at something like an archos or this one ..http://www.sainsburys.co.uk/sol/shop...gb-tablet.html ????

have you used one of these ? does it have flash on

I'm unsure if it comes with flash but you should be able to side load it.

I haven't personally used one but I'm sure there are nook owners here who can tell you more about it.

It's very good spec for the price and has an SD card slot which many tablets do not.

People get too hung up about Flash. It's a dying technology and most decent website won't need it.

I think the LG G Pad 8.3" is the best at that screen size. Or if you want something bigger, the 10" Nexus 10 is starting to go cheaper now as well.

It comes with Icecream Sandwich (Android 4) so as long as you don't update the os, it will run flash - I use the Flashfox browser with flash based sites - of which there are millions, and will be for some years to come. Google botched release of the Nexus 7 by not providing a downgrade on the os. Their technical support is absolutely useless. The Nexus 7 Asus hardware is very good, the os is rubbish, and google support is a joke. I will never buy anything with the google brand on again.

The 9" nook HD has a very good screen (1080p 1920 x 1280 - 256 pixels per inch) and good volume of sound (single speaker). There is no camera - but as most tablet cameras are not very good, that's no great loss. You can access google play and use all the usual downloads. It has an SD slot for storage, which is lacking on the Nexus.

It runs BBC iPlayer and Catchup TV without any hitches and the picture is excellent.

I rarely use my Nexus 7.2 now as I prefer the nook. Imo the Nexus is highly overrated. You will find all sorts of advice about being able to run Flash on the Nexus 7 with Dolphin, and a number of other browsers, but none of them work on my Nexus 7.2, which has the latest KitKat upgrade.

If you want to play games, check out that the nook will be fast enough, as it's only dual core. I don't play games, but can say that the nook has never shown any problems when running video and online TV.

If it is fast enough for what you need, it's an excellent buy. What it does, it does very well, without all the bells and whistles (that you probably won't use) on more expensive tablets, that get them 5 stars in reviews.

You can take out replacement cover on the Very.co.uk site for around 30 pounds, which covers accidental damage.

If you google the voucher sites you will probably be able to find a discount code - I got 30 pounds off mine with a discount voucher.

The 9"nook HD is a genuine bargain.

Just bought a nook HD+ off second hand for £90, good as new condition.

Previous owner had put on cyanogenmod which I had planned on doing.

9" is a good screen size and its quality is very good, mainly used by my son for reading books and its fine for that. Also for web browsing is OK and no problems playing back HD movies.

Though its 'only' dual core, you shouldn't find it lacking for speed. Plays Minecraft PE without problems so facebook games should be fine.

Comes with SD card slot which the nexus doesn't. Speakers are pretty good for a tablet. Accessories like cases, charges, screen cover, etec are a fiver from B&N website. Battery life is around 5 hours playing back video.

Only downsides have been its got a custom connector, not micro-usb and design is a bit weird (there is a hole in the corner which apparently you can stick a pen through to use as a stand).

You don't mention your budget, but to get you going you will not go wrong with the Archos 80 cobalt, @ £49.
My two grand kids got theirs over a year ago and still working fine.
They are not the all singing all dancing up to date tablets but for your needs they will do fine and they do have flash support.

you expect me to just leave that there without making any jokes?

ok i will.

wouldn't we all!

The upside of the connector being that it is easier to plug into and is more positive than the one on the nexus. I have seen a number of reports re problems developing with the micro-USB on the Nexus.

While on the subject of externals, the on/off switch and volume press-buttons on the nook are better placed and easier to use than those on the nexus - the nexus control buttons being a real fiddle when used in a case.

omg i never realised how that sounded when i put that haha

I've just bought a tablet for £89.99 from Amazon, it has a micro HDMI,2 micro usb slots, 16GB memory and an SD card slot (upgradeable to 32GB), its very responsive, streams via HDMI cable ( bought separately) like a dream. You can attach a usb keyboard to it as well. I love it and for the price it is a smashing little device!!
Its a NATPC X210 10.1 inch tablet and i can wholeheartedly recommend it, even though I've only had it 24 hours!!

You can put apps and pics on the SD card...some tablets don't have an SD card slot though

all depends on the budget!

I would maybe go for this at £120

just be aware that from kitkat 4.4.2 you won't be able to move apps to the SD without rooting your device.

Or run flash which means things like Virgin TV Anywhere are a no no.

could any of you tell me which would be the best to get ...NATPC X210 or nook hd 16gb

Neither, check out Argos clearance sale. Nexus 7 (2012) £72. Will knock spots off both your choices.

they are only 7inch i want 8 or above :/

It's not available on the Argos site when I just looked.
