I'm keen to get a tablet to mess around with and mainly read emails, surf and get magazines subscriptions to.

On bidorbuy this is going for R1999

Any ideas, I know it's no ipad, asus or galaxy tab but those are very pricey for their 3G counterparts.

Anyone have one of these?
 
You can pick up 2ndhand iPad 1's for r2400 or so. Do yourself a favour and get something decent. A Kindle Fire or a Nook Color will also be a good option.

Yip, saw that deal, researching the HP Touchpad as well, apparently it is getting ICS?
Dual Core as well so faster than iPad 1 just worried a secondhand ipad might be dodgy.

Firstly, it doesn't get much dodgier than buying a Touchpad running a dead OS and flashing it to beta versions of Android software from modding forums. In reality your user experience is going to be more frustrating and not much faster than an ipad1. My iPad2 is 2ndhand, nothing dodgy about it. It was hardly even touched by the original owner. Really with tablets I don't think you can look too much at spec sheets. The user experience is everything.

I have used the ipad 1 so I'm familiar with the user interface which is very good.

After reading numerous reviews on the flytouch, most of them being decent I was referred to http://www.zenithink.com/

I see you can order one from China for R1400, has same processor as ipad 1.
You just need a 3G dongle for your 3g though.
 
/Sigh
You're really going to go down this road. Well be sure to give us the review when it arrives. What the world undoubtedly needs is more android tablets from unknown Chinese factories.
 
Still deciding, I was going to get the R499 Galaxy Tab 10.1 + S2 phone from vodacom but the wife wanted an iPhone rather so that fell through.

would of worked out +- R5500 for the tablet with 3G.
Went to vodacom and fiddled with the tablet, seems pricey for what you get maybe R3500 at the most.
Thing is most people wont feel too bad spending R1400 on a semi decent tablet and lets face facts people have given the thing rave reviews, I doubt they are lying as we all know how people love to complain about everything.
 
Oh... ok. Well.... ya. I guess the screen won't be the highest quality lcd ever but it could be worse. Try it, give us a review.
 
2nd highest customer satisfaction rating according to that site. Lol. Who can argue with that?

There some other sites that seem to say the same thing just different order like Zenithink on number 3 etc.

But as you say you get what you pay for in this world.
