Yep. Don't think I could face telling people what kind of new tablet it was.

You can just say that it's something you got from your partner...

142 + Shipping. Checkout the specs and compare it with branded PC tablets.

Even if it is tulip, at least you can tell everyone you bought an Ainol

Have you thought about the iPad Mini? Despite the fanboi reputation the iPad is THE defacto tablet device, its just simply works, much that was maligned about Apple's design (non removable battery, no external SD card) is now in most Android devices

I dont want to look like someone who is unduly impressed by brand image. But I will think about it.

Yes, Nexus 10 looks good, but it is black and rubbery. I quite fancied white, (I like to get my priorities sorted) so thinking about the Samsung Galaxy tablet 2. The reviews on John Lewis are very favourable and it has an SD slot. One of the reasons for getting a 10" is to watch movies whilst staying away midweek,

Really daft question now remember my trade, but if I do not need to store very much is a 16gb any worse than a 32gb, or is the latter much better in other ways? Time to join the 10 year olds playing with the display at PC World on Saturday.

Are you female by any chance?
