THE PURIST'S CHOICE: STORAGE OPTIONS SCROLL EXTREME 2

    Another 9.7-incher from gadget behemoth - ahem - Storage Options, this is one for the Android purist, with native 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich, free of any UI tweaking. At just under 10mm, it's not the slimmest slate in the group, but it does boast a reassuringly solid design.
    The dualcore 1.2GHz CPU propels everything along pleasingly, with fast app loading and minimal lag, and the HDMI output is a neat addition. However, the 1024x768 screen isn't great, and the JoyPad is a better choice at this size.
