Best tablet under $250
Hi guys! I'm looking for some input on tablets. I have about $250 to spend and would like to get a being sized (around 7") tablet. I would use it mostly for browsing the web and forums. I really want something with the best resolution possible, so I can view my photos in the best quality! So far from what I've read the Google Nexus 7 is the best, and about $50 under my price range. Any input/advice/suggestions?! I'd love an iPad mini, but it's too pricey for me.

BlackBerry PlayBook rocks! If you can find one, that is. Best when paired with a BlackBerry phone. It has to be the most undervalued piece of awesome technology ever made.
Unfortunately, both Apple and Google have been pressuring some big-name companies to not develop apps for it, so it has no Skype, Netflix or Instagram apps. It does have workaround apps for those three.
I'm typing this post on my PlayBook. The browser is excellent.

Plus the mini lacks the Retina display, which you'd probably really like for your photos. The rumor-mongers are speculating that a mini with Retina will come out in the fall. |
