Like I mentioned you can get a cheapy tablet and a kids case... it all depends HOW rugged/cheap you want it. (which wasn't specified.) cheapy kids tablet... under a 1/2 hundo decent tablet with "kids" case... about a hundo Ruggedized tablet ... couple hundo mobiledemand ultra rugged ... 9 to 30 hundos depending on configuration. pick your poison. the chepy kids tablets often run, what...android 3.0.. 4.0? is your apk even compatible? might be something to look into. |

Alright. This is for steel tip dart leagues. The app replaces the chalk board as well as the score sheet players used to have to fill out manually. The tablets will be mounted near (not directly next to) the dart boards. There is a possibility that a drunk darter may slip, and a dart hit a tablet. I'm not looking for something that can withstand a dart hit, nor something that is going to need to be ruggedized. Just something that can hold up to a couple years of regular use by many people. Those 7 inch fires look alright. What's the "special offers" I'd have to deal with? |

They have ads on the lock screen, I don't even notice them you can pay like $20 more to get a fire w/o ads. Is the app in the amazon store? |

It was already said but worth repeating - Fire tablets do not run standard Android, they run a fork and do not have Google Play store, so be sure your app runs on it. You CAN side load Google Play store pretty easily, but a lot of apps will be buggier on the Fire in general than on true android tablets. I have an HD10 and had a third gen 8.9" before that. The older 8.9 was more expensive than the newer one but was also faster despite being nearly 2 years older. My new boss just picked up a newest gen HD8 a weeks ago and it seems to be fairly snappy, unlike my HD10 that is 2 years old now, so it seems that even as cheap as they are, they are putting a halfway decent processor in them. He successfully side loaded Google Play store and got all his Google apps loaded on (calendar, hangouts, gmail, etc.) and they work fine, so that was encouraging but don't assume all apps will work right. If a Fire HD tablet will work for you, it is hands down the best value out there. Either way, I would go cheap over rugged, and just add a case to make it last longer. The ads thing is not even noticeable for me, so I wouldn't bother with the extra $20. Locally our Best Buy usually has them in stock for the same (regular) price as Amazon. At the least you can go try one out if you have one in your area. |

I predict the tablet makes it half an hour before everyone wants the chalkboard back. |
