Zugara Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Be careful.....ebay You maybe better http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/disgo-tabl ... 6-pdt.html If anything goes wrong, you can take it back to a local retailer. Some tablets dont support flash players. Android honeycomb is due out soon, so make sure anything you buy can be upgraded online. Android has "market" for all the apps and games some free too. I have galaxy tab gt1000 and its great, saves me taking my 18" laptop out and about... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRF4N Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Have a look at the dell inspiron duo with the flip screen- use as a tablet or a notebook. Cool wee gadget. Dunno about it's capabilities tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iain10101 Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Have a look at the dell inspiron duo with the flip screen- use as a tablet or a notebook. Cool wee gadget. Dunno about it's capabilities tho I almost bought one as i thought they were great, until i used one.... The processor is too slow, to load up an internet page and navigate to another it took over 30 secs and that was with no applications running. Also to load up microsoft office took over a minute! I was gutted cos i wanted one! So im in the same predicament at present. Im looking at tablets and cos i have an iphone im swayed towards the ipad. Although they are v expensive compared to an android with the same capabilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekona Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 The benefit of the Apple stuff is that whatever you buy from the App Store, it'll work on your device. Given the amount of different Android specs and OS versions floating around the place, while the device is technically more capable you can end up not running anything due to hardware/software conflicts (i.e. just like a PC). One's not massively better than the other, it just depends on what the end user wants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
