I am looking forward to buy an android device(Phone,Tablet and anything else too).

Minimum Specification:

Wifi + 3g (3g not compulsory)
5mp camera
480p recording
WVGA screen(Capacitative)
3.5" screen
Android 2.3 (Gingerbread and preferably upgradable to ICS)
HDMI Out
1Ghz Processor + 512 Ram

Options under consideration at the moment:

SE xperia Neo V
PSP Vita
Kindle Fire

I am considering the SE Neo V atm but i have read in many of the reviews that the neo v is low on internal memory so i was wondering... When we install an app or a game.... Take for instance a game of 50mb.. Approximately how much mbs will be on the internal memory and how much can transfer to the sd card?

If someone answers that doubt, I would be very grateful.

I am going to use the device only for gaming, reading ebooks and watching videos so i dont really need the device to even make a call so the 'device' can be anything runs android and has the above specs.

I am not sure about the PSP Vita's price tag so if you are gonna suggest that please mention the price too. And dont suggest any phone outside the price bracket pls coz i cant extend it at all.

So that would be all..... Please gimme some suggestions and thank you guys in advance.

Instead of Kindle fire, go for Nook tablet. For a phone, SE Neo V is pretty good as well.

I'd rather recommend you go for Nook tablet, it is a well built Android-based tablet and can easily handle your needs. Kindle fire isn't really an Android tablet which you'd except unless you root.

If you wanna go for phone then Neo V seems to be the best option for you in the mentioned price bracket.

kindle fire's main drawback if u are not using amazon service is its 6gb internal memory and lack of sd card slot. other than the device is great and the device will get cyanogenmod and u can use it like any other tablet.. amazon is actually bearing loss from the device alone.. so it is too good for the price.. But if u don't intend to keep more data on your device it is better than nook..
