Borrowing the mother in laws nexus 7 for when we go on holiday so we can put films on for the mrs. Is it just a case of drag and drop or put em on an SD or what?

 

Not got the thing yet.

I think so mate

 

 

mrs casino has one

 

its a decent tablet

 

i've not mastered tvcatch up but thats cos i'm not that arsed!

 

utorrent works nicely

 

Just playing with it now, it's not bad, but I've not got stuck into it proper yet.

 

Just ordered a 32G SD card.

 

When that gets delivered I'll get downloading on it.

 

Will play with TV catch up later

 

You need to go in settings and alter something to get flash on it

Have a Google if you're struggling

MX player is a must have

Hers cost £99 from asda.

 

But she gets £20 cash back after 30 days.

 

£79 can't grumble at that, and it does everything she wants it to do, and it does that little bit more i can use it for

 

 

I doubt there's a better 7'' tab for the money

And the best 10" for the money?

Any particular reason you want 10's mate?

a bigger screen is needed.

Daughter's hand/eye co-ordination and fine motor skills aren't great, so a bigger screen is needed.

 

ah ok.

 

I'll have a look about.

And the best 10" for the money?

 

Based on what I've seen of the 7 inch acers I'd get the one I suggested before

I saw a girl today with one of those Samsung phones they keep advertising. Well, I couldn't miss it. They're far too big, where do blokes put them or are they for mon bag types?

Yes, I'm leaning towards this http://www.laptopsdirect.co.uk/Acer_Iconia_A210_10.1_Android_4.0_Tablet_PC_in_Grey___HT.HAAEK.001/version.asp?refsource=LDfroogle at the moment

200 quid?

 

i'd say it doesn't need much thinking about

You forget that I'm a tight fucker and that it's only for an 8 yr old!

 

And then for not a lot more I can get an iPad for her.

 

Hence the procrastination.

That would indicate you believe the iPad to better.

 

Is the iPad better?

a ten inch ipad for 200?

That would indicate you believe the iPad to better.

 

Is the iPad better?

 

No, but she's familiar with the iPad, as she uses mine far more than I do!

 

a ten inch ipad for 200?

 

No, but a refurb for not a great deal more.

fair does

 

i can see why people buy ipads

 

my mate wouldn't be able to download torrents to his ipad like he does to his tablet, tho

 

that, for me, sells the android tab

All that said, I'll probably still go for the Acer!

It really does look a decent bit of kit for £180.

 

I did like the look of that Nook HD+, but as you suggested I had a closer inspection of the OS and it's a hacked away Android with limitations.

Kindle fires....

 

Better than an iPad??

no

 

kindle fires are dogshit

 

if its 7", google nexus or an acer - the 100 quid acer is better than the fire

 

if its 10", the acer discussed on here, above

Reet then. I've just bought the 7" Acer.

 

What should I be downloading for it?

 

They're available with 20quid cashback too until Sunday

I lost interest in phone technology for a while and had iPhone 3G for 3.5 years

 

But my interest is returning and am going to get something new

 

Fancy the nexus 4 as I can get it on contract for £25 a month for 2 years

 

Galaxy's and that seem a tad more pricey so other that the fact it's not 4g ready, I fancy nexus

 

Does it really matter about 4g? 3G seems alright these days to me

 

In a nutshell, is it still worth getting a nexus 4 for 2 years or will I be stuck with a shit out of date phone? Should I be arsed?

My Nexus 4 get 16,000 kbps download on Three the other day. Fast enough for me. I bought mine outright so that it will easy to upgrade in 12/18 months time. Two years seems a long time.
