Get a case with a stand built in, well worth the extra.

Splashtop has doubled in price to about £8. I was literally on the page to buy it, went away to look up my password and the transaction wouldn't go through (because ofvthe discrepancy in price).

Nevermind it is literally 10 times cheaper on the android store at only 80p. Football manager on the toilet here I come!

Are there any differances between the webos and aneroid versions?

Picsel Office has just been released for the Touchpad.

The Android version is faster, smoother and more responsive, but has some typing bugs in the current version of CM.

i got a X design gel case from ebay for cheap as well as a neoprene sleeve from ebay as well.

no point in spending the big bucks on an official case and charger, look on ebay and see what takes your fancy.

my neoprene sleeve is going to have a joker picture on it holding a card, i choose that over plain ones and the seller had like over 100 designs to choose from, it still has not arrived yet, ordered last week, its coming from hong kong.

ill check out ebay, i looked on hukd for accessories but all the deals have now ended.

The touchpad you mean, theres an ebay seller selling the 16 and 32GB, not at the same price as the firesale though, 170 for the 16 and £200 for the 32gb. The seller is 3monkeys

Im gutted, not stupid

Would never pay more for a product just to have one.

If you go onto CM7.1, is it possible to watch 720p mkvs using one of teh android players or does the hardware not have proper support?

sorry neodite

ethan · 28 Oct 2011 at 14:48

I think the 32 gig is worth £200, especially with the upcoming Android port and with the comparison to other tablets.

Yes. But that dont change what they sold for.

For that kinda price i would rarther add a few more quid and buy a second hand ipad to be honest.

you would need an ipad2 though if you wanted to get something better for you £200.

They are still worth £200 all day long, and I would buy one tomorrow at £200 if I had not managed to get one previous.
