Tablet any good?

Jun 22, 2013 8:57AM PDT

I am looking at a 9" Android 4.0.4 tablet. The make is a Smartpad 9 dualcamera. It doesn't say how much RAM it has apart from that it has a memory capacity flash of 8GB. Will this tablet be able to support bbciplayer and itvplayer as well as the flashplayer I will need to run them?

This sounds like the usual 99 buck trainer tablet.

I see them wholesale for about 50 bucks and if you can get it that cheap then you won't be too upset.

I like folk to get one if they are unsure about tablets. After they figure out if they like tablets then they can look at the top tablets CNET writes about at link to follow.

Thanks for your reply. I've already had a cheap tablet, which was useless; kept losing the internet connection, but it didn't have much RAM on it either. I guess you get what you pay for. The one I'm looking at now is in a sale, and a better spec by the looks of it, so I think I will buy it.
