Forum knowledge; Android tablet/smartphones? - 19/04/2012 14:30
Okay folks I desperately need some help as I'm well and truly out of date with technology (do you want some Dolby with that granddad? ).
Mrs Stan has an Apple ipad2 and a HTC Wildfire S phone. She raves about the ipad but I can't afford one, simple as that!
I'm actually quite happy with the brick of a mobile phone that I've got, which is a very old Nokia, no camera, no internet gubbins, just a phone.
Mrs Stan reckons I'd find the HTC Wildfire frustrating as it would prove too small for my fingers/eyesight. She also hates the internal memory (too small) and is having real problems getting it to sync with her PC/laptop.
What I'm looking for;
I know the budget isn't great, in fact I'm pushing it as it is, and I've even been looking at and tempted by the ipod Touch 4th gen, even second hand but worried at the number that are for sale that are faulty?
I'm thinking along the lines of the Archos tablets but does anyone have any experience of them and would they really do what I want?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions, advice, help, pointers on this, much appreciated,
Stan

What I'm looking for;
- Portable device
- Email/internet
- Wifi for definite, 3G nice but not essential I think?
- Good battery life
- Decent sound through headphones
- Good screen and interface
- Maximum budget is limited, £150-£200
- MP3 player, very important
- Expandable memory, 32GB would be nice
