I have the 4" Samsung Galaxy player. It was marketed as a competitor to the iPod Touch. It's essentially the Galaxy II without a cellular radio. They came in several sizes, but are all out of production. You can find a used one on Amazon or eBay, but at that rate you might be better off getting a older smartphone.


Quoting "James E. LaBarre" <[email protected]>:

Looking for suggestions on a cheap, pocket-sized (4" screen?) Android "tablet". Not ready to go to a "smartphone" yet, as I don't feel like getting reamed on a data plan I'd never use anyway.

I currently have a Galaxy Tab4, but it's the 10.1" model. While that's nice for most of the reading, research, etc I use a tablet for, it would also be handy to have something closer in form-factor to the old and greatly-missed PalmOS handhelds. Want to be able to use Skype (audio) around the house (working from home), keep quick notes for when I'm out running errands, etc. Essentially something similar to an iPod touch, just without the Apple ecosystem and the Apple pricetag. (besides, an iOS device wouldn't mesh well with the rest of my Android and Linux systems).

I had considered something like one of those TracFone pre-paid phones, but I don't know if any of the pre-paid options (tracfone or otherwise) could be used in a WiFi-only mode.
