RE: Has anyone bought a tablet?
I haven't bought a tablet, but I did become very familiar with them when I worked at a tech store. In my experience, I will second the recommendation on the Nexus. even though it's a bit out of your suggested price range, I think its your best bet. One thing I feel the need to mention is that it holds up to abuse pretty well; our demo that we got to play around with in store had quite a few drops and bangs and held up remarkably, something to keep in mind when getting a tablet that will be used by a youngster.
