Yeah this is true - I'm sure the Film thing will be resolved in the coming months. In actuality tho as long as you can get the films on your PC then there shouldn't be any issue getting them on your tablet. You don't need to use something like iTunes as a 'middle man' to get stuff on Android devices - drag, drop, unplug and go...

That's a really decent price for the first iPad. Definitely worth it.
I think MobileMe updates, if they are due, will just happen without notice I think, but it does need a few more features to qualify for the price per year.
It has to be on the cards soon because of the huge data centre they are close to putting online.

Trouble is all current legit services either require Itunes or zune, which android don;t support. Or have drm which requires Windows media play 10, again android does not support this.
So in Uk there is no legal way to get films on to an android device.
I would love to go completely digital for films. But iTunes offerings are lacking and far to pricey for digital copies. I can pickup brand new old films for two or three quid from Amazon and rip them. I can understand new releases being ten quid or so, but for old films that's a joke.

That's ugly...
Im sure they normally make MobileMe announcements with the iPhone so I wasnt surprised it wasnt announced today. Will be good as mine ends in Oct/Nov

I don;t think it's to bad a lot at £5 I got law abiding citizen for this and allows me to download both SD and HD, slightly more than dvd price but cheaper than blu-ray (but not true HD) but not massively. but they are itunes only compatible which is a shame.

Again you make a good point - it's the unfortunate position of an introductory OS - I hate to sound like a broken record but I would put money on it being just around the corner...
I have no doubt it will be around the corner, my problem is I have no idea what it will look like and price wise.
I'm staying away a lot with work now and have been desperate for a tablet since end of the summer and have wanted a tablet for at least 4 years.
basically I'm getting too impatient to wait.
The other thing phone contract runs out in April and it will need to match the OS of the tablet. Hopfully have some more solid news by then.
Or do i get a ipad1 for £250? can't be more than that 2nd hand, keep current phone and reavaulate in june when IOS5 is announced and hopfully by then android has settled down.
