When any body asks suggestion for a tab, my face goes blank :|, as I consider it the most worthless device made ever. Nevertheless, a suggestion has been asked by an uncle.

Purpose is "general".

PS: I also suggested him for a mobile (X:SP) as an alternative as he was also asking about Canvas 4.

What do you say guys ?

amused by the hate for tablets on this forum. whatever is enjoyable on tiny screen of mobile is much more enjoyable on a tablet. gaming, ebook readin, flipboarding are more enjoyable on tablet screen. also web browsing, typing this currently on my ainol venus.

coming bak to ur qs. galaxy tab 2 if sim slot required or nexus 7 if not required

^ is calling not possible even on 3G version?

A gentleman suggested the new Nexus 2013. Is it really procurable in 18k from US ? Btw I don't think uncle will be ok with no warranty, still i'll suggest it.

^Yes. For wifi only : N7 (2013) is the best. Import or ebay are the options right now.

I would suggest waiting for a month or so.
Mediatek is going to release an 8core tablet processor which will be cheap
I don't know much specifics though
HP is releasing slate7 in late aug or october which is also a nice device with cortex a9 dual core at 1.6ghz, 1024x600 res and JB on the device
I used it yesterday at my office and it was good. Oh btw, it has Beats audio which sounds really nice.

Asus Fonepad?

Poor GPU as per the reviews. It's better to stick with N7 2013. If warranty is an issue then N7 (2012) for 11k/15k is a sweet deal, indeed.

Yes, average gpu.
Btw which nexus is available at 11k and where?

Calling is not that important, that's why I have suggested him nexus 7, old model.
