I'm kooking at getting my wife a budget tablet as a present. Ipads, Galaxy Tabs etc are out of my price range and I've left it too late to go online and order a Nexus 7 so I was wondering if anyone has any experience of CNm tablets (presumably also known by loads of other names).

It would be used for basic browsing, facebook etc all off the home wifi.
Any other similar suggestions would be handy as long as I can get one before Sunday!!!
Wait for a Nexus 7 - they're the first cheaper tablet I've heard any good reports about and that the owners haven't wanted to return straight away. I played with one the other day - it's good.
Not got any experience of that but you can get a Galaxy Tab 2 GT-P3110 7.0 for £200 from PC World/Currys and then get £30 cashback.

Can you not just tell her you have ordered a Nexus though? - if it was me I would be happy to wait but women are strange creatures - maybe get her a token present as well so she has something "on the day"
I think your gonna be in the dog house.
Is the nexus7 available much cheaper than £199 on-line?
If not, get down to a shop and buy her one. If they're only a few £££s cheaper on-line, suck it up and still go to the shop and buy one.
Does such a thing as a Nexus 10 exist? I'd need a bigger screen to squint at.
That Argos one looks crap. Avoid.
Screen size is another issue. I'm planning on getting a nexus 7 for myself as I'd be happy with 7 inches (go on...) but I think she may want more (sigh)
There is a Currys down the road and they seem to stock the 16gb Nexus but I was aiming for a £150 (ish) spend
Have a look in HMV as you can try out the tablets there. You'll learn a lot very quickly.
"Wait for a Nexus 7"
+1, great looking bit of kit, was trying to convince my better half to get one over a kindle (it only double the price). I'd suggest a better present is one that works well, rather than a compromising cause you left it so late...
Order it from curries, as it doubtful they'll have it in stock, though you could ring and ask...
EDIT: That Galaxy looks a great price.
Asda own brand ibuprofen work as well as the branded ones and are only 25p for 16.
But do they have a USB port?
which? The ibuprofen tablets or nexus? 😳
Hmm, Currys and POC world don't carry them in stock so might as well order ont he Play Store and knock up a voucher to go with some flowers(like usual)
at least go and ask 1st... man this is why you haven't got her a present already isn't it...
But do they have a USB port?
You can stick a USB plug in the corner of the box, that works.
Anything here that catches your eye?

the archos 101 for £150 looks like a reasonable price for a 10" tablet
Another Nexus 7 recommendation here.
iPads are too big and heavy to cart around; the N7 is like using a paperback book.
Reconditioned or used iPad 1? Approx £200
(recon ipad 2 is only £249 from the apple store)
That's where I'd put my money.
The quidco + galaxy tab deal above is tempting. I may get one for myself!
The Nexus 7 is a really good bit of kit - doesn't feel 'budget' at all, it's quick, the screen is excellent and the small size is a bonus - haven't touched the iPad since I bought this. Only disadvantages are the lack of SD card and 3G, both of which I think I can probably work around.
Google Play delivered mine in 2 days (ordered on a Friday, received on Monday).
The nexus 7 is available, well it was on Tuesday when I ordered mine. It is in the post as a I type.
If you want to buy a Nexus 7 then Currys have them. You can reserve for pickup.
They aren't in stock at Currys, you can add to your basket but when I convert to store pick up they show out of stock at all of my local stores and I'm up the road from the massive one at Junction 9 of the M6.
small one is available.
friend got 16gb from carphonewarehouse - next day delivery(free)
Ibuprofen, three packets for a quid in Poundland.
Oh, wait...
Pound land it is 🙂
Archos arnova f g3 for 80 quid at staples' ics, update firmware, usb slot, 32gb sd card slot. What's not to like?
