Kindle Fire or HTC Flyer

[VaderTT]

I got my girlfriend one as well. I think it would be good to get since she'll be able to read books, magazines, and play games on it. I know you can do that with any tablet, but that's pretty much what the Kindle is meant to do.

Yeah, she'll be able to read, do a little surfing and she already has a netflix account.

X2, my GF loves it.

Nice! I haven't even held it yet, that box isz retardeded!

Some hacker will always exploit it. Apple can't keep them from jailbreaking the iphone/ipad. But then again everyone has an apple product.

It's a pretty slick little tablet, she logged into her amazon account and it started downloading all the kindle books she's bought. If I read more books I'd probably get one, but I've got a HP Touch Pad on the way.

I just got my wife an Acer Iconia A100 It's a 7" tab, 8gigs on board w/msd provisions, 1ghz tegra2 dual core and 1gig of ram. It's a slick lil tab for 250.

I also picked this one up from Wal-Mart for $250. I picked it up over the Kindle fire because it has Honeycomb, micro SD card support, GPS, etc. It's been great so far.

Just picked one up at Best Buy for my lil princess

Haven't used the Iconia A100 but I sold my Asus Transformer and picked up a HTC Flyer. I really like the 7" form factor a lot better.

I would stay away from the Fire for now. Rumor is a redesign is already in the works for an early release next year due to all of the complaints. I mean come on, who the hell decided not to put volume buttons on a multimedia device??

I bought one for my girlfriend and she loves it. We haven't had any of the problems that people have reported on some of the forums. They Amazon app market has most, not all, but most of the apps that are on the Android market. I guess the biggest complaint is that we've had problems with the video on netflix syncing up with the sound, it's off by a second or two. Depending on how old your son is, you may not need much more out of a tablet than what the Kindle Fire offers.

Keep in mind, a ton of new tablet are about to drop so it may be worth waiting a couple months to buy one. Just promise him one if you're dead set on getting him one.

I need something for my 9yo son's b day in 2 days.

I'd also recommend the Galaxy Tab 7.0, probably one of the best tablets for the price.

Kindle Fire or Nook Color will be your best bet then.
