Hi, ok first I know this sounds weird but this tablet is "mainly" for my daughter which is 16 months old. She loves our new phone and I figured this could be a good learning tool. On top of that, I will have use for it (we have IP Cameras and trying myself at app's).

I am looking for something cheap enough because it will be at the mercy of a 16months old and she tosses our phone like dirty potatoes :D (so hoping under $100)

I'd like it to have:

* Android 2.1+ (would prefer 2.2)
* Wifi (needed)
* Capacitive touch screen (would prefer because she loves drawing with her fingers but open to resistive)
* Cpu/ram enough to run apps/games, play movies (doesn't have to be HD) as we'll also use it for car movie watching, we take trips to the hospital 2 hours away.
* 7"+ screen (7 is easier for her to handle, 10" is better to watch movies/ip cams).
* dual-touch+ screen
* HDD doesn't have to be huge, as long as it can take a SDCard.

Awesome if it's there but not a deal breaker:
* HDMI out
* Good camera, front or dual (she loves to take pictures/videos).


I know this is a big list but hoping someone know something out there... It's 7am... been looking up different models all night but I am hoping someone with more knowledge will have an idea.

Thank you in advance.

One of them say "Touch Screen Type: Capacitive Screen" but later in the descriptions I found "Touch Screen: resistance touch screen" so not sure on that.

Any advice is more than welcome, also if you know of other devices in similar prices. Thank you.

This is a dual core for slightly more than $100

Walmart.com: Ematic eGilde with Wi-Fi 7" Touchscreen Tablet PC Featuring Android 2.2 Operating System, Black: Computers

Amazon and Wal Mart have great support as far as returns etc. Hope this helped.

Steve, this is actually an awesome find! I don't see info about it being Capa or Resist touch screen but does almost everything else I am looking for... also my wife working at walmart makes it below $100 with her associate card :)
Also, that gives me a piece of mind that I can return it VERY easily if I have any problems with it... I will definitely keep this one in mind.. I had looked on their website but didn't see that one.

Great! Glad I can help. My guess at that price point it's probably resist but you never know. I am very interested maybe I'll pick one up for my wife let me know what you think of it if you do decide on it.
