Cheapest 10 inch tablet

Hi... I am an iPad user so I don't know much about android tablets. My father in law is a truck driver and he wants a tablet to use in his truck on the stops to surf the web, watch tv/netflix, play games etc on wifi.

I am looking for the best tablet under $200 if that exists. I know there are good deals on 7 inches but he wants a 10 inch tablet. I doubt he needs a ton of storage, but I don't want a junky one either. Anyone have any suggestions.... TIA

If you hate your father-in-law, get him this:

eGlide Craptastic 10" Tablet with Resistive Screen--Only $80! [walmart.com]

Assuming you like your father-in-law, however, it's hard to find a good 10" tablet that fits your $200 budget. Keep your eye out for refurbs on the name brands, like Toshiba Excites/Acer/Asus. There also might be a slam-dunk deal on Black Friday/Cyber Monday that hasn't been revealed yet, but I haven't see one.

If you are adventurous, you might take a chance on a tablet shipped direct from China. The Ainol Hero, a 10" IPS tablet, is just hitting the market for ~$195. Ainol is an unfortunate brand name, but they make reasonably good quality tablets for the price.

I'd recommend that you look for:
Capacitative Screen with good resolution (go look at some to see what you can accept and what you cannot);
1 GB or more of memory;
ICS (4.0) or later;
microSD slot;
HDMI slot:
The more on-board storage the better, but your price range limits will likely limit you to 8GB.

Good luck.

In your price range, I would probably go with the Coby MID1042-8 with WiFi 10.1" Touchscreen Tablet

The best deal that is worthwhile is the ASUS TF300 and Nexus 7 with GPS and long range Wifi. Your have to install CoPilot GPS App too.
