these comments are *very* helpful. There is a flood of tablets (junk?) 
from China right now.  I guess if you only want to read your Google 
email they are FB, but we Hams have much higher aspirations for our 
mobile gear :-) :-)

thank you all. I will keep looking for a refurbished Nexus-7 from Google 
and see what might be available.

many thanks to all for taking the time to help me understand these new 
devices.
