I am thinking about buying a tablet, but have limited funds.

You just have to flash a new ROM to it. It has an 800Mhz processor which can be overlocked to 1GHz no problem. 7in Display Its $200 when you get the refurbished one from Barnes and Noble

Don't bother with anything but the Nook Color because you're not going to get a decent (non-resistive touchscreen) tablet for under $200.

I'd find a secondhand iPad/Galaxy Tab - you'll probably find one of those much more useful/enjoyable..

i have looked into the nook color but i'm not really feeling like i want to overclock the processor when i can get this one for 50 dollars cheaper, with a 1ghz processor :/

Plus OP wants flash. iPdas don't do Flash.

Are you mad? That resistive screen will feel awful.

That resistive touchscreen is the real killer of the Coby. You'll hate it. HP touchpads fresh from Ebay sound right up your alley

If its an ARMv6 @ 1 Ghz, it going to perform a helluva lot worse than a ARMv7 @ 500 Mhz. Its not purely about clockspeed. EDIT: Okay, I click on the link, its an A8.

i hear the original galaxy tab is $200 now it has iphone 4 specs

You can probably fond a touchpad for $200, it's your best bet. Or you can wait for hp to maybe put them on sale
