Travelling with my 3 year old to Ozzie soon and thinking of getting her a really basic and cheap android tablet to keep her occupied with some games and videos during the flight.

Anyone any experience with any of the cheaper ones available at PBtech including:

Don't want to spend any more then the $150 Lenovo model...she's 3 so very likely to trash it or "wash" it down the toilet one day :)

Even a cheap phone might do the trick, I gave my 4yo a moto G phone (without sim), works well and is easy to hold and carry around

I've been buying my kids the cheap Konka ones from Harvey Norman for a few years (they've gone through a few due to smashed screens), which are normally about 7-80 on sale.

I'm a geek, a gamer, a dad, a Quic user, and an IT Professional. I have a full rack home lab, size 15 feet, an epic beard and Asperger's. I'm a bit of a Cypherpunk, who believes information wants to be free and the Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it. If you use my Quic signup you can also use the code R570394EKGIZ8 for free setup.
