Thread Starter 
I want to buy a tablet , but with so many options it is hard for me to take a decision . My budget is around 300$ .
Tomorrow is boxing day and i saw a couple :
1 - Acer Iconia A100 - 250$
2 - ViewSonic ViewPad - 250$

A friend of mine told me that he can bring a Blackberry Playbook 16Gb for 99$ .

I would look into the kindle fire if you are ok with rooting and flashing. It is 200 and it has the tegra 2 hardware in it, so it is a powerful tablet.

For $300 I'd try for a used transformer. You probably won't like the kindle fire. It's 7" screen is half the size of a iPad/transformer.

Might I recommend a windows tablet. They offer you all the functionality of a PC in a small tablet form factor. Plus, Windows Vista and 7 are perfectly compatible with touch screens.

I just picked one up for the gf for Christmas, and it's quite amazing. Also, if you have the patience, you should be able to find one for under $300.
