Spend a little extra is my advice and get a nexus 7 or kindle hd, them mids are cheap imports and dont always get much support for updates etc. The display alone says enough and only having 512mb ddr3 for the os to sit in is rather low.

There's a Youtube look at it here.

It shouldn't be dismissed out of hand at that price.

In my own experience and friends buying a budget tablet is a fatal mistake and will result in hours of internet searching attempting to find drivers patches and fixes every time you want to do anything download software play games etc , a load of headaches at a cheap price , and then it will probably just refuse to boot one day ! They are built with budget parts and budget operating systems programmed by budget programmers and have little or no after support - completely false economy

I bought a motorola xoom 1 after much research and well happy at under 200 it works a treat ..

The specs on that don't look very good, £69 is probably a fair price but as someone else already recommended I'd spend a bit more and get a nexus 7 or a Kindle fire, you won't regret it. I brought a nexus 7 last month and I love it, it's small, fast, and has a great HD display.
