The Nextbook 7S runs ICS with no problem. I bought this tablet for my wife at Big Lots for $99. I was a little hesitant at first because of the price and it has a resistive touch screen, however I was pleasantly surprised by it's speed and responsiveness. The 7S doesn't have Google Play but you can get Apps through Getjar, Amazon, 1Mobile, Slideme, and Freeware Lovers just to name a few. It runs Angry Birds (all versions), Words with Friends, and many other popular Apps without a hiccup. It supports Flash and has about 6-7 hours of run time on a full charge. It's almost exactly the same size as the Kindle Fire and I picked up a Belkin Kindle Fire folio case from Walmart for $18.88 (not sure why it's listed as $37 online - http://www.walmart.com/ip/Belkin-Bas...-Fire/19394079) which fit perfectly. All in all it's a pretty good deal for $99 and it runs ICS to boot.
