Al, I like the Asus Nexus 10. Screen resolution is much higher (and I believe sharper) than the model you posted. It is a little more expensive but I think the higher resolution (and increase memory) are worth it.

Yeah, screen res is important. It’s got JellyBean, but since it’s from Google, I’m guessing it’ll upgrade with out too much hassle? Complete Android novice, that’s why I want to get something and play with it. Thanks for the info. Al From: Jim Maki Sent: Sunday, June 25, 2017 4:57 PM To:
