Nexus 7 on ebay seem to be aroud the sameprice as Hudl and Galaxy....which to consider.

Only thing that is putting me of is buy via ebay

I got a Superpad 8, 10" tablet over a year ago and it is OK for most things (I use it mainly for email and as a media player) but I treated myself and the grandson to a Tesco Hudl each last xmas and its faster all round. Fully open to the Android store, SD card slot, great battery life, responsive screen et all, highly recommended.

One of the kids got one for xmas off her dad. Seems fairly robust, reliable and goid battery.

Despite my dislike of Tesco they naybe be on a winner with the Hudl

Whip off the apps, and all you have left branding wise is a small T in a circle on the bottom of the "taskbar". Well done to them for not messing with it too much. Plenty of ROMs available for those who want to root though.

ROM what is that then.

You mean Read Only Memory?

Yep, it's the file containing the operating system. It's relatively easily changed.

Minor thread hijack but do the non apple tablets have the Capacity to have full functioning Microsoft Office software ie Word etc installed on them?

Thanks

Yes, soon apparently, a proper iPad version is being launched with others to follow

the hudl is good, it freezes up a lot and Tesco are very aware of it, I would certainly have recommended it until for some strange reason it froze completely and then went red hot, too hot to touch!! Tesco are delivering another one 2moro, a recon tablet, tried to get a brand new model but they were not having it!!

That is a straight faulty goods issue and you are entitled to a full new replacement or refund. The Hudl has only been out a few months and the one you have is clearly faulty and not fit for purpose.

I agree- I would not be accepting a reconditioned one I'm afraid.

Easy option: take a refund then buy another (or something else).
