I bought my nieces Optus MyTab last year when they were $99 special. Now, they are finding it outdated as it has old version of android.
I missed on Nexus 7 deal on dicksmith for $148. That would have perfect. Just seeing if anyone had any suggestions. Remember its for kids and they probably would want a new one in 1-2 years time. As a result I really want it around $100.
Currently thinking about this ASUS -ME172V for $129: http://dicksmith.com.au/product/XC8141/asus-me172v-android-t…
Your kids are going to hate that tablet. At the very most it will play divx movie files, and basic apps. The single core CPU is a real downer.
If you buy them that one they are going to want a new one instantly. If you buy a Nexus, it should remain sufficient for their needs until it breaks or the battery conks out, basically.
I would try and get the Nexus as cheaply as possible, alternatively, take the punt on a Chinatab if you really cant go past the $100 barrier.
