I have prettymuch decided that I want an Android tablet. I have been looking at the new Nexus 7 Tablet, but am somewhat turned off by the idea that there is no sdcard slot. I know a few of you have tablets and am interested in recommendations.

Here is what I am looking for:

• Price Range: $150-$300
  
• GPS: yes
  
• MicroSD: yes
  
• Memory: ~1GB
  
• Processor: Tegra 2 or Tegra 3
  
• WiFi: yes
  
• 3G/4G: no
  
• Android Version: 4.0 ICS or 4.1 Jellybean preferred.
  
• Good development community for rooting, custom ROMs, etc.
  

Any ideas? Been looking at the Samsung Galaxy series and a few from Asus so far.

Other than no sd, nexus is best in my opinion. Thrive is good.

Damn that's a shame. Earlier this week Woot.com had a pretty kickass 32GB Sony tablet with a cradle included for about $220ish.

Almost bought it myself.

I still haven't jumped on the tablet wagon. Not sure what I'd get if I did.

Let me know.how.you like it

I love mine. I thought the sd slot was going to be an issue but it hasn't bothered me yet.

Skylark's box is shinier. He wins.

My initial reaction after playing with it for a little bit.... "Damn this thing is fast."

Think im getting one for the family this xmass... Only $250 too..

So, that's the tablet to be had in the Android market?

I got the Asus Transformer shortly after it came out. The tablet itself is pretty good for about $350 but the keyboard you can get that attaches to it makes it the best. It's real slick. Like a netbook with a touchscreen.

EDIT: It also has a SD card slot on they keyboard. Now I'd recommend getting the Transformer Prime.

In the $200 range? Absolutely.
