All, im looking for a tablet to get my wife. Dont want to get a Galaxy or an Ipad. Too expensive. Something simple will do.

Reqs:
2.1 or 2.3 Android OS
Google Market
HDMI out
7 or 10 inch doesnt really matter
1ghz processor
256/512 mem
sd flash card able
very good battery

I have seen tons on ebay, but most are from china or somewhere like that. While i dont mind buying one from out there, im not sure which ones i can trust. Suggestions?

Thanks all!

get an ipad or get a divorce

at home i have an iphone, ipad 2 and an android phone and my wife hates my Inspire and loves Apple stuff. all the android tablets are same price or more expensive unless you buy the ultra cheapo with crappy screens

Doesn't the viewsonic Gtab kinda have ultra awesome potential once rooted and modded?

I keep threatening myself that I will get one but never follow through.

I have a Nexus One phone thats rooted and modded and if a Gtab acted just like a larger screen version of that then I would jump on it like a fat kid on Twinkies.

For $300ish the Gtab looks like good gear for the $ too.

Hope this helps.

Oh, nook color also looks quite nice and is cheap too. No SD slot and GPS though and it has to be rooted.
