| Android tablet with decent speakers for the kitchen? |
| (1/5) > >> |
| BadMouth:
I'd like to have an android tablet that lives in my kitchen for the purposes of accessing recipes(Paprika app), cookbooks(Kindle app) and watching TV(Slingbox connected to my living room Tivo). I've tried it with a couple cheap old tablets, but they are painfully slow and the speakers suck so bad they can't be heard over running water when washing dishes. I want something that is always there and ready to go. No fiddling with external speakers or waiting for the thing to boot up. I was looking at the Fire tablets, but not having access to the full google play store is probably a deal breaker. (I don't want to get into hacking it if it takes more than 10 minutes.) Anyone have a recommendation in the $100 $200 range? EDIT: Giving it more thought, a $100 android phone sucks so expecting to get a decent performing tablet at that price is probably asking too much (unless I want Amazon annoying me with ads). |

Cant really recommend a tablet as I dont use one. But I have a little portable bluetooth speaker that I use with my phone and thats brilliant! Its a Phillips one, not very expensive but excellent sound quality and connects in seconds. |

Even apple tablets suck as far as speakers go. You'll probably have to use some kind of Bluetooth solution. |

Dude get some LED Speaker light bulbs and just use a standard tablet. Cannot confirm the quality of the sound though. |

Ok, so there are no affordable tablets with decent speakers. Got it. I don't want to use external speakers. I have whole house audio with a Bluetooth connection, but I have to manually turn on the receiver and select the kitchen speakers. I just want to pick up the tablet and use it. Looks like I'll have to build a stand with a tiny amp powered by an OTG cable.....someday when I get to it. :-\ |
