Anyone got one? any better ideas for not more than £250, less if possible, refurbished Ipad?

Well, that seller looks about as straight as a corkscrew.

I occasionly get given items like this to test, mate works for one of the major importers/distributors for a number of countries in the region and I end up writing reviews for him. Have to say having played with this and the iPAD, I would go with the iPAD. Android 2.2 is not really designed for this platform, and really has just been crow barred into it. I find it clunky and the choice of apps and their quality is not as good as that available from the Apple App store.

 

 

If you really want to go with an Android product I would go for the Motorola Zoom, uses Android 3.0 which was developed with tablets in mind so seems to work much better.

It depends what you want the tablet for. I have an archos 101 which is a 10.1' android tablet (review here). Yes it does use 2.2 but its not really so bad and the extra real estate of 10.1 widescreen makes web browsing/watching video's more pleasurable. You can get the 8GB one online for about 190 and the 16GB one for about 230. Going for a 3.0/3.1 android tablet will be well over 300 at the moment, Toshiba bringing out a 10.1 3.1 tablet next month which would be about 260 quid if you used the real exchange rate $/£ but will probably be more.
