I have not heard about that tablet brand or know about that particular mode. You should look into google nexus 7 tablet. It is the official android tablet and you get the updates first. I think it should be around 160 pounds for 8 GB. I am sure you can find some deals from local retailers.

I was about to recommend Nexus 7 too. Better off going with more known brands, especially when it comes to tablets

Yeah, get the Nexus, or a Kindle fire maybe

First off, I'm always skeptical of Android tables because frankly a lot of them suck (though that's more my opinion than fact). As much fun as it is to hate Apple, iPads are about the best tablets around (especially for what you want).

Second, if you're buying the cheapest tablet you can find you're going to get exactly what you pay. A cheap, bad tablet.

Third, if something is 40% off there's generally a good reason for that. If it's something well-known like the Kindle suddenly getting $110 off that means there's probably a new version around the corner. If it's something largely unknown (I could find nothing on that tablet) that's suddenly 40% off, it's probably because they can't sell the thing.

Don't get it.

Yeah, I agree. If you get a cheap tablet, it is just going to be a frustrating experience, unless you get a Nexus 7 I think! (I also think tablets are mostly pointless)

If you need to go cheap go buy the Lenovo A1  it cost me 130 euros a few months ago its okay it doesnt have the newest android but I can watch youtube I can play HD videos on it I can skype I even control my Onkyo AVR with the thing.

It has a resolution of 1024x600

If you buy cheap, the spec may not be bad but it will be frustrating to use and unsupported after a few months.

Go for the Nexus.

Assume it can't be.

It can only be upgraded if:

- The manufacturer supports it, which they won't for an obscure, cheap, probably EOL tablet. Even Samsung took months to upgrade the most popular Android device, the Galaxy S2, to 4.0 and still isn't supporting 4.1. And there are many more Samsung devices that will never get an upgrade to 4.0 OR 4.1. Most manufacturers are worse, especially on low end devices.

OR - You root (jailbreak) it, voiding the warranty, and install an unsupported custom ROM from the internet. These tend not to even be available for the cheaper devices, because the people who make the ROMs tend to own Galaxy Tabs and very little else. 

And you won't even know before you buy whether the device will ever be upgradeable by either method there. Sony's even set release dates and had beta versions of 4.0 out for Xperia Play and then eventually decided it would never be updated.

4.1 is the newest, 4.0 is acceptable. Anything previous has a much worse experience especially on tablets.

If you get something really cheap like you said in the OP, I wouldn't expect anything extra you install on it to work. The problem isn't that it would not, it's that you  can't tell before you buy or how long before it's obsolete. The marketplace is so fragmented that no one will eb developing with your device in mind. Whatever came with it would run for those 2 years of course, I just think it might have bugs or be annoying to use.

Apple has always had the only good support for old devices. The new iOS 6 will work on as far back as the iPhone 3GS I believe. But you pay for it.

Android is surprisingly closed and inflexible despite the code being available.

Tablets are the best thing since sliced bread imo. Fuck it...tablets ARE BETTER THAN SLICED BREAD!!!!111
