    I'm looking for a tablet. I'd like to spend less than $250. Anyone have any recommendations?

    I have a Samsung 10.1" Tab2 4G through Verizon. It's been great.

    If you want a 4G tablet look for refurbished ones through your provider to save some cash. Also, google for discount codes to use if you purchase online.

    I've actually been looking at the Tab 2. I think I would just get the wifi tablet though.

    I got an iPad for Christmas and I'm loving it.

    My i pad drives me nuts with my fat fingers and the auto correct spell check feature. Not very easy to to work wth trail cam pics either. But I must say using it with the chromecast on my big screen tv is wonderful get to watch my youtube trailcam videos on the big screen is fun.

    Got a Galaxy Note 10.1 for Christmas. Wife has an iPad. Both are great. I have a Galaxy S4, so the Note is synced nicely.

    We got an iPad a few years ago for Christmas and I got a Microsoft Surface for $100 at the Microsoft Tech Ed conference last year in New Orleans. If I had a preference I would have a Samsung Galaxy Note because I have the Samsung Galaxy S3 and the usability and features blows anything Apple out of the water in my opinion.

    I mainly want it for surfing the web, watching netflix, and storing all my trail camera pictures. My computer is really old and I don't have enough $ right now for a new computer, so I thought a tablet would be nice. Ideally I would like a tablet that has a full sd card slot, but apparently they're few and far between. I for sure want one with additional memory capability, so the ipad won't really work.

    We just got the new Samsung 10.1 and it's pretty amazing. I have an iPhone but elected to go this route in order to get the bigger screen for my money in comparison to the iPad.
