This is a good device, but the more I use it, the more I love my iPad 2 (I suspect the same can be said for the Tab 10.1, etc).

The idea is there but it simply isn't fluid enough and can be a bit buggy. No doubt that will be improved with future updates though.

I would seriously feel sorry for anyone that paid £500 for one of these. :p

I am happy with it for ~£100. But I would have been disappointed at full price.

my main irritation is the way text can render quite strangely. Anyone else getting this? E.g you will be scrolling through a website or a forum and maybe on line of text will look really weird like the text is squashed.

a touchdown version of android is now available. No WiFi support yet. I think I will wait a few months before giving this ago. Let everyone else be guinea pigs!
they have disbanded because they got caught stealing from cyanogen mod code!

Well, I am happy with it for £90 I paid. It does everything I want but it has a few niggles. Hopefully there will be some more official updates to WebOS in the upcoming month. There is no reason to think otherwise at least for the next 12 months. After that - well, that is another matter.

Let's just say I am mighty peeved right now. My colleague pointed this deal out... I put on in my basket... then looked for my wallet for 5 minutes. I'd left it on the side at home after moving all our stuff from the 3rd floor to the 2nd in preperation for the move. AHHHH.... missed out. Even tried looking on amazon for my card details, but they have starred them out d'oh.

ROFL, thanks!

I'll be safe in the knowledge that I bought an Asus transformer for the wife. Probably best I don't spend another £200 on something for me (as she has the AT now).. But thank you for offer :D

I don't understand why all my 720p videos don't play correctly in Kalem - video is fine but the sound isn't in sync :(

EDIT - Fixed :)

It would be nice if you shared your fix.

My .mkvs don't play in Kalemsoft at all well, very laggy. Not sure what the problem is or of a fix, any ideas?

Yea, was in a very grumpy mood last night and that just angered me more than it should have.

You tried holding the power button and home button until it comes on?
Click to expand...

Tried that last night, but didn't work. Left it plugged in all night. Tried this morning, nothing. Left it alone for a few hours, unplugged, and then tried the home button & power button. Turned on but said the battery was empty. Then let it charge for about an hour and it eventually turned on.
 
Glyder 2 is quite nice, bit tricky but not a bad little game. Just away to give shrekkarting a go. Looks like Mariokart! ACE!

Edit - Christ. ShrekKart is exhausting!
