The only real Android tablet worth buying is the 7-incher Nexus 7... Everything else is crap. Trust me, get the iPad, you will be really satisfied. I have one, and it is excellent...

Have a look at this tab , iZOTRON Tab 10.1 NKS101 1.6GHz Dual Core CPU IPS Screen 3G

iZOTRON Tab 10.1 NKS101 1.6GHz Dual Core CPU IPS Screen 3G Android 4.1 Tablet PC | eBay

It has almost everything that you want , including a top notch GPU , an IPS panel 10.1" screen , and 3G.

Priced at ~14k on Ebay.

Well come to think of it,...no..;). this do not have a GPS feature. And if you didn't like it and only want to buy the ones you shortlisted then i would suggest the Iball Slide.

The budget is a bit low for the features you want. Save up some more money and go for Galaxy Tab 2

It probably is somewhat cheaper at a local store :wink:

14.5k for a iBall tablet? :facepalm:

All I can say is best of luck. You could have easily gotten a Galaxy Tab 2 for a bit more. Oh well..

Even the Galaxy Tab 2 stands no chance against the iPad...

I liked the specs of iZortan tablet (mentioned above) a lot more... It has an excellent screen. But I would be worried about warranty for such a tablet...

OP has to make calls and I don't think any of the iPads whether new or old has this feature out of the box.

And everyone might not be very open in buying a second hand product just because a new piece is above budget.
