Cheapo Tablet Question

[AB Editor]

Hi All!

I usually advise against cheap tablets, but I'd like something to take in my bag for the next cycle tour which allows me to update strava, do some minor searching/reading, and possibly a little bit of writing.

I've spotted this (I think) In Tesco: http://www.tesco.com/direct/acer-iconia-b1-720-7-tablet-8gb-wifi-grey/231-1934.prd?pageLevel=&skuId=231-1934

Does anyone have one?

Can you let me know if Strava, medium, twitter work on the tablet? I understand some of the lower quality tablets just don't run the apps I want.

All the best,

Ed

That tablet has got an older version of the Android operating system on it (4.1 'Jelly Bean') and some newer apps might not run on it because they require 'KitKat or 'Lollipop' or even, although it's currently unlikely 'Marshmallow'. (Ruddy silly names!).

However Strava runs on 4.0 or better and Medium needs 4.1 or better. (Twitter runs on almost any Android version). So it should be good enough for your needs.
