New technology

Hi everyone, new to the board. Have always been interested in a jukebox, but a little concerned about my skills to wire on/ off switches and place units in walls, etc.

Has anyone looked at using some of the newer devices. There are some less expensive Android based tablets coming out now. I just purchased an Insignia Infocast 8" on sale for $85 (see link below). Setup perfect for a table top, clean, touch screen works great. Seems that these would just need a good jukebox app and could be done much less expensive.

Do most use the headphone out jack for speaker sound?

I understand that building a unit and a specific look has value to many members. Just brainstorming alternative options.

Would have been great on sale but 169?

I picked up for $85 inc tax, but price only seemed to last a day. Mistake? Screams jukebox to me (or possibly). No good apps for that... yet
