If you don't have a smartphone and want a cheap "tablet," then look into buying a used smartphone. Doing so is super cheap because you don't have to buy a data plan. Besides, phones tend to be more portable. I got a Droid2 for $30 on Amazon.

- lukifer 13y agoGive it a few years and all those 5.5" "phablets" will be cheap on the used market. :)
- Zigurd 13y agoThe value sweet spot is almost certainly at a higher price than these products, but even a 7" tablet with a crummy screen has a better UX for browsing and Google Drive apps than a handset. The pricing of these devices could be the reason lots more poor kids get a real Internet experience, and that could be revolutionary.

I really hope they remember the lousy experience and remember to code for low-spec devices in future. I love the nice whizz-bang websites, but it's frustrating when they use weird features for no real purpose and thus slow the page load down.
