I need to pick up the following on Monday....

A 7inch device which i can play downloaded films on..the thinner the better. Needs good battery life, e.g 2-5 hours and needs to be fully charged within 3 hours!
Would rather a tablet than a bulky portable dvd player, also a usb port would be good!
Have looked at galaxy tab, archos and other tablets but really want a recommendation...can you pls advise?

Thanks
Adam

Ditto, though the iPad is over 9".

Am sure there's a 7" form of the Galaxy so worth looking out for that.

The 7-inch Galaxy Tab, the Acer Iconia Tab and the Dell Streak are the ones that have the best reviews overall. I'd stick to the "big" brands and not be tempted to go for some £100 chinese knockoff, personally. The only budget tablet that seems to be any good is the Korgan Agora 7 and it's available on Amazon, but it goes without saying that I wouldn't order it from the Internet without having tried it out beforehand...
