Pad Suggestion Request?

[Fellwarre]

I'm looking for a pad, at least 7" or so that's under or at least very close to $150.

Must have:
Wifi
External SD card slot
Must have access to a decent android app market without rooting
Must be able to play high quality videos (1.5 gb video files) smoothly


Really, really DO NOT need it to be 3G or 4G. Was thinking about this:

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Honestly? Not going to happen. Not for 150 bucks. Maybe for 300 and definitly for 400, but not 150, just not going to happen.

The part that's "not going to happen" is the "plays high quality videos". Tablets at that price point just don't have the required hardware necessary to handle high quality video.

Sort of like entering a Yugo in the Indy 500.

So the video's the sticking point then, eh? Oh well, my G2 plays the videos well enough I suppose... I guess I'll just stick to picking up a cheap e-reader with Android on it. My buddy's gonna sell me his Pandigital, and if I downgrade the videos a bit I can watch them on it in a pinch.

Thanks for the help =D
