okay, So ive been thinking about a tablet jobby, 7", can pick them up for £65 now which seems resonable, running on andriod 2.2, etc.

questions to the Faithfull Hubbers! anyone got one??? what are they like to use?? is it worth it?? thinking would mean i could do the odd bit on the net, mainly surfing etc. out in the garden, in bed, taking to the loo etc. - Not those inda Sites!!!! :wink:
we have a netbook but its a couple of years old now and a little slow at times, and its mainly the wifes!! has been a godsend though when the big pooterrs died!!

so what are your thougths on them?? is it worth going for or getting a bigger screen one?? i know i dont Need one but you know how it is! :wink:

    Depending on what you want from it, they are not bad. They DO NO Treplace a laptop by no means, but for the price, can be a bit of fun. I've never owned one but have used the Ipad which is kinda the same just a feck load more espensive!!!
  • am wondering of a 10" would be a better choice, tricky sentance to make that without having it like it should be in the Crudcatcher!!!

    slightly bigger screen should make viewing better??? but is almost the same again ion cost, although still not bad price!!
    hmmmmmmmmn

    I had one, a cheapy off the bay..
    was only running android 1.6, done the job but was very limited. froyo 2.2 and gingerbread 2.3 should be better ( my phone HTC Desire is fooking awesome!).
    you need a propper decent touchscreen too, resistive/capacitive
