As far as native Android tablets go I only know of the Aquaris:

But you might want to start with AC Android tablet running CyanogenMod or similar; that would let you access everything and remove anything you don't want, which seem to be your main concerns. It ought to be possible to pick up an older model that CM supports quite cheaply if you don't already have one to "sacrifice".
