Best tablet under $200?

Q. On my list I've had the Nexus 7, Galaxy Tab 2, Visual Land Prestige 10 and Coby MID8065. But every time I decide on one I end up finding reviews on other sites that put me off, or find out it's missing something crucial for my needs.

What I want:
Android 4.0 or higher
1.2 GHz
At least a 5000 mAH for battery
7-10" screen, though closer to 10" is preferred
1 GB RAM
At least 8 GB storage/capacity
Camera (pic & video), speakers, usual ports (HDMI, micro SD, USB, etc)
Bluetooth enabled is a must!
Google Play is a must!
Adobe compatible
Capacitive screen
Wi-fi capable

I'll be using it mostly for long periods of note taking so it needs to have great battery life.

My only way of connecting my husband's tablet (Asus EEE Slider - a bit out of my price range) to get online is through bluetooth. We usually tether the phone to the laptop since the only internet we have is on the phone (read: no wi-fi), so if he ever needs to get online on his tablet for basic browsing is by enabling bluetooth on my phone and sharing the connection. Bit of a pain, but it's cheaper that way.

Google Play capability is needed because I like their apps better. Also, if I so happen to be in an area with wi-fi, Hulu Plus has to be compatible - they took their list down from the site so I don't know which individual tablets are supported anymore.

A larger screen size is preferred for typing, though I like the compact size of the 7".


Please, nothing higher than $200, NO apple products and it has to meet all of the above. TIA!! =)
ETA: Visual Land is definitely off the list since it doesn't support Google.
@Devon, I'm an adult. I have bills to pay and I like to live within my means. So if I'm looking for a $200 and under tablet that means I'm looking for a $200 and under tablet.

A. Hi. I would recommend Galaxy Tab 2 7" from these options.

- Android 4.0 or higher: Yes Upgradable to 4.1 too
1.2 GHz: Dual Core 1Gh Processor

- At least a 5000 mAH for battery
4000mAH but enough for around 11 hours of battery backup

- 7-10" screen, though closer to 10" is preferred
7" would be better option since the budget you mentioned is best for 7" screen only

-At least 8 GB storage/capacity: Yes plus microSD slot

-Camera (pic & video), speakers, usual ports (HDMI, micro SD, USB, etc): Yes all those ports and Camera is there. Rear Facing 3.15MP and front facing VGA camera

-Bluetooth enabled is a must!: Yes
-Google Play is a must: Yes
-Adobe compatible: Yes
-Capacitive screen: Yes
-Wi-fi capable: Yes
-1 GB RAM: Yes

Galaxy Tab 2 7" - Review from an actual user:

Nexus has front facing camera only
While the tablet you have mentioned is pretty unknown and I dont actually recommend something that you cant rely on.


500MB Mobile Internet - HTC Desire?
Q. So I'm getting a HTC Desire mobile phone from a third-party website on the network : 3.

My plan is as follows : 300 texts, 300 minutes, 5000 3 to 3 minutes, Skype, Messenger, and 500MB internet data.

I am fine with all the other ones, however just wondering if 500MB is going to be enough for me?
Most of the time I will be connected to wifi, as I will be at home.

However when I go out to places without wifi range I will still want to use internet.

I have 500MB every month and when I'm not in range of wifi, I will be :

Watching videos on youtube.
Browsing the web.
Browsing the Android App Store.
Using Friend stream to update and read facebook status's.

Hope you guys can let me know if 500MB will last me a month or will I need to find a better deal?

A. You will use 500MB in your first few days using youtube without wifi. 500 is more than enough for webpages, email, facebook, etc. The real bandwidth hogs are streaming video and audio. Consider using them only with wifi or get a few gigs a month at least.
