I'm hunting a android based Tablet (preferably 8-10") as a Christmas gift for my musician son, Android is necessary because the app he's used to compose runs on Android. I've found a ton of these devices from various manufacturers but the best way I know to ensure how well something works is personal recommendation.

If you have an experience using one of these devices I'd really appreciate knowing which one you use, what you use it for, how well it works, and the positives and negatives associated with it.

Again: an Android tablet 8"-10" for less than $150.00
