Q. Ipads are way too spendy, so I was looking at PC/Android tablets. I want to spend less than $300 and have a screen that is 10 inches. If it was a 7 inches, I would buy a Nexus 7, but I want something bigger and can compare to a Ipad. Any suggestions?
A. There is not going to be much available in that price range in a 10" tablet. Most 10" tablets tart at around $300 and go up from there. However, Best Buy does have 1 tablet available that is quite low priced. It is a fairly new tablet and hasn't been on the market long, so I don't see many reviews around the internet on it. But what I have seen is primarily positive. Here is the info:
Zeki - Tablet with 8GB Memory - Black/White Model: TB1082B SKU: 6001064 $164.99
or you could go with this unit which is a bit more.....
Acer - Iconia Tablet with 8GB Memory Model: A200-10G08U SKU: 4873089 $288.98
other than these two, everything is going to be used or refurbished....

What is an inexpensive tablet pc that can handle drawing and making art well?
Q. I am looking for a relatively cheap tablet pc that can read .pdfs. I would also like it to be able to run an art program like Adobe Photoshop or Paint Tool SAI. It should also have wifi. I am wondering if such a tablet exists, or if I would be better off going with a laptop PC.
A. They do exist but whether they are 'better' than a laptop is debatable. There are a number of laptops that can also double as tablets, the screens either fold back over the keyboard or can be 'flipped' over and some that just have touch screens but still function like normal laptops (they dont fold back/flip)
Both the art programs you have mentioned are Windows based so you will need a windows based tablet PC (rather than android tablet or an iPad). The cheapest I've seen are refurbished or second hand units starting from £160-200 but they tend to have smaller capcity (either SSD or HD). The full price units are obviously more , expect to pay £500+ ( some are closer to 1K) for a high spec one. Look at the Fujitsu Stylistic ST5112 , Viewsonic ViewPad, Archos 9, ASUS Eee Pad or Acer ICONIA ranges. There are also numerous 'cheap' nonbranded resellers on eBay.

Is the price of Samsung Galaxy tab expected to fall by December end?
Q. I don't need it right now.
A. There are three Galaxy Tabs. The 7", 8.9" and 10.1". Likely, you'll see a price drop on all three by year end.
The "next-generation" of Android tablets will be coming out by the holiday season. These quad-core powered tablets, like the Amazon Hollywood, will push the price of the current top-line models down quite a bit.
Seriously consider a factory refurbished model. They've been fully reconditioned to like-new status by Samsung and are usually about $100 less expensive than new, with the same warranty. Just make sure its a "factory" refurbished model.

How to convert from IOS to Nexus 7?
Q. I want to get an iPad for school, but a Nexus 7 is just so much better wallet wise. I know very little about Android and want to know if I can download my iTunes library (all recent and not protected) to the tablet. Also, I dont have a credit card. Is there a way to add credit without said card (such as an iTunes gift card)?
A. First the music:
Yes, if the music is unprotected, you can transfer it onto the Nexus 7. I would recommend using DoubleTwist as your music player.
Next, Gift Card:
Yes, and it was just made possible by Google. Go to Target/GameStop, and buy a Google Play Store Gift Card and redeem it in the Google Play store.
Last, on iPad
According to rumors, a 7" iPad will be released soon. And with the screen being smaller, so will the price. Also, on apple.com, you can buy the non-retina iPad (iPad 2) for cheaper. And if you want it even cheaper, go to the refurbished store of Apple and buy one there.
And may I recommend just going with the iPad. it has so much support from software developers, hardware manufactures, and the general tech-community, which makes it really good for school. The Nexus 7 doesn't have that.
