New Nexus 7, import it yourself. $250 and should work out way under R3000, even after shipping and taxes. Otherwise Galaxy 10.1, can get it for a similar price from overseas
Looks like utter c%$%Originally Posted by ISP cash cow
Nexus 7 all the way only limitation is that its only wi-fi or micro sd card slot but I mean it a tab for R3000 on Expansys.
1. You can overcome the wifi limitation by opening a wi-fi hotspot on your Android or Apple.
2. 8gb is too little then you can go for the 16gb but I wouldn't go for the 16gb it too expensive compaired to the 8gb
The iPad is a wonderful experience. However, the Galaxy tabs are quite good.
Since you want to watch movies on the tablet, I would recommend the Galaxy since you don't have to convert your movies to mp4 (iPad). There are alternatives to watching avi movies on the iPad though.
You mentioned that the iPad can't be found for less than 400pm, so I'm assuming you want a contract and not a cash purchase.
Here are your options:
iPad for 349pm on MTN with 2GB data x 24months

Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus for 299pm on MTN with 2GB data x 24months

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 for 329pm on CellC with 500MB data x 24 months

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 for 369pm on Vodacom with 1GB data x 24 months

The MTN iPad deal is quite good...
Thank you
Depends on price I'd say. The iPads are cheaper than the Galaxy tabs. The Galaxy tab 2 is an option. But I'd stick with Samsung or Apple, I'm not sure about the other brands.
If I were to buy one now it would be the Nexus.

Nexus 7 for R3000 or Motorola Xoom 2 or 1 are great tablets. The Motorola skin is quite close to stock Android OS. The US version of the Motorola Xoom Wi-Fi has gotten Jelly Bean update OTA not sure in South Africa...... I would get the Motorola Xoom 2 if I could but Nexus 7 is my first choice.
Motorola Xoom - R479 Vodacom ---- Too Expensive

Motorola Xoom 2 R319 Cell C

Hope it helps
So OP, you decide yet?

Samsung Tab 2 10" is very well priced right now due to the 10.1 Note coming in. I have the P7500 and on ICS it is awesome, so the Tab 2 will work well for you (OP).

The Nexus 7 is awesome but I will never take a tablet without 3G/HSPA again. I'm sure one with 3G/HSPA will come out at some point.

Only problem is Expansys keeps changing the date at which it is expected (8gb) . Maybe they are getting problems with stock and the 16gb is only on special order
No and its getting to me now!..i like to do what i want on my phones(android)..
so think its a 60% android and 40% for iOS iPad..
My pick :
1. Asus Transformer Infinity - Cheaper to get it on eBay with an international warranty, check with AsusZa if they will honour the warranty first, buy the dock locally off a site selling the dock for the Prime
2. Samsung 7.7" P6800 - Best 7" tablet out there, awesome screen, go hold one and see for yourself
3. Nexus 7 - Enough has been said in this thread, again import one of these and save
4. M$ Surface - Most likely a rumour at this point but it may launch for $199 as early as October
5. Asus Transformer Book - Everything we come to love about the Transformer range now with Win8 : http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/04/a...nsformer-book/
