So here's my criteria
Must: - 7: minimum screensize
- good streaming 720p video playback
- atleast 6.5~hrs battery
- atlest wifi
Preferred: - free 3g - if it has 3g, i don't want/can't afford to pay
- not needing to root the dev nice to get full access to google's app store
- touchscreen - non-resisrtive (i have had bad results with them long-terrm use)
I don't want any apple device and i've heard the Nook Color doesn't do video playback well from a store rep, but that was obviously a non-rooted nook so i don't know if its just their poor programing or truely poor cpu.
It should go without saying, but i'd prefer to pay less, but I don't need to have an extremely cheap tablet
Probably other stuff here, but for manga reading, i can just download an app. |
as of this morning the nook color has been updated to add Flash video support and some added email support etc.
