...without browsing through all 115 pages of this thread...just got myself a cheap little ICS tablet, the browser on it seems a bit sluggish, was wondering what experience people have had with the other available browsers and which you think is best

Really? Are people that bothered about the colour scheme in Google Play?

with oled - yes. white uses more power than black. same as plasma. pretty much every google app has a black version of it on xda somewhere. there's a thread for them i think.

Looks rather nice actually! I will use it and decide on which to keep, this or Any.do

whats the best app for Music and email now? Used to use K9 before for email

Pipe all your e-mail through Gmail. MUCH more battery efficient than any other option.

Along with Voodoo Control which has made my SGS an amazing sounding MP3 player.

I'm still struggling to find a decent T9 phone keypad keyboard like HTC_IME that works on ICS

Hmm the link previously said it was down due to excess bandwidth use. Never mind!

The longer space bar does come in handy actually but auto space detection is just brilliant. I don't need to press space any more for stringing lond words apart.

I tried this yesterday, it initially worked great, yay spaces going in by themselves, then tried it today and all I get is a massive string of words with no spaces in? Did I bodge the settings ( don't think I actually changed anything?)
Looks good, but I broke the one feature it's supposed to be amazing for?!?!

Best keyboard is Touchpal IMO. Being able to swipe down for symbols makes typing very quick.
Although when I use it I turn off curve(which is like Swype)

A demo version of Utter! was released a few days ago. No functionality yet but its a good demonstration of the speech recognition engine and from what I've seen its already very good.
