"i would if i had specific models, but i'd rather not waste the little money i have on a piece of crap"
There is alot of cheap sub $200 garbage from china & india in the tablet market
And I would Avoid them all like the plague.
Right now $200 USD seems to be that magic number for consumers in the 7 inch tablet form factor.
Currently the KF has 54% of the TOTAL android Tablet Market!!!
and it is not even Marketed as an "Android tablet" per say.
The main reason for this is Amazon's Existing Ecosystem of content coupled with the Fact that nearly every android
phone app will scale up nicely from a phone to the KF without you actually needing a purpose built "kindle Fire" version of the app.
I have 90 apps installed on MY KF.
84 of them are apps originally built for the larger screen android phones.
Any challenger to the KF in the 7 inch space will have to have better hardware:
( Easy task, just add camera, HDMI output,Microphone to use Skype etc.)
and Also be Profitable at $200 or less:
( Well..not so easy!!)
Cheers
