Anybody got one? Any good? I've flogged my iPad and am wondering if this is a cheap and cheerful tablet, I only really need it for casual internet browsing. Have read all the reviews so I'm aware of the downsides - very limited apps, no native email... I also know that their OS 2.0 is due out any day which should improve things. Reviewers seem to love the screen and the build quality... At £169 I'm tempted... as an Apple fanboy this seems like heresy!

Apparently, all the kids these days have Blackberry phones. Not sure why when iPhones are so much better :drinking: Anyway a family member who is 14 is desperate to get one, but knowing nothing about Blackberry's I am looking for a bit of advice. If I had say £40-£60 budget, what sort of phone should I be looking for, or is there nothing out there for that sort of budget? I am of course thinking second hand, eBay or whatever, unless anyone has a better idea?

Hello All, Just wondered if someone could help me with the following: I have email on my iPhone which I love because it is so much easier to view daily then logging in to my email on my laptop each day, BUT, is there a way that when I delete an email on my phone that it can be deleted on my computer? I am pretty sure its possible as when I had a blackberry the emails sent to there could be deleted and they would be gone from my computer as well! The only reason I ask is I have just cleaned up my inbox and deleted a LOT on my computer and I would like to keep it that clean with only the essential emails staying put! Thanks in advance Tom

I have just bought an Xbox 360S and tried connecting it to my tv (Goodmand GTVL26W17HDF) I have linked it with an HDMI cable, but it will not display on my tv at all. It works fine through the XBOX supplied component cable, though the quality is less than desirable. Help is appreciated!

Okay then Some of you may remember my topic last christmas regarding trying to convert an HDMI output into analogue video Well now we have part 2. I have bought a new TV with HDMI inputs. I have therefore hooked it up as a secondary monitor for my PC. It also receives the audio output thanks to the wonders of HDMI. I have noticed that I seem to get a much better audio signal using the TVs inbuilt speakers. However I don't use the TV as a PC screen all the time so I sometimes need the analogue audio too in order to get audio when the TV is on Freeview or just plain off. Plus the analogue audio has a sub-woofer attached Now comes the conundrum - I cannot seem to find …

Topic. (R-A) Since both BF3 and MW3 came out, myself and my brother have both wanted to play our own games on live, at the same time... on the same console. Obviously this doesn't work, since I don't do taking turns. For this reason, I'm potentially looking to buy a new slim xbox, preferably with MW3 included and the larger hard drive. The person who comes back and posts a link to the best deal in this topic is the winner and gets a +1 Thanks in advance

Our Xbox is struggling to read discs. You can hear the drive try to read but it fails and takes about 5 - 10 goes before you can load the game. Pretty sure I just need to replace the DVD Drive but understand these need to be coded to the xbox for a new one to work. Any ideas on how to code a new drive?

Right I've had to replace my Blackberry curve 9300 handset and now need to re-upgrade to OS6, the only problem I am getting is I've downloaded it onto my computer and upgrading via a usb cable. It's telling me I need to free up atleast 10 MB of space, however, I've done everything that it suggests to help free up space (i.e. removing all un-used languages and achiving applications to the sd card), I went from needing 16MB to 10MB but can't think of anything else to free up the remaining needed memory for the upgrade. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Hello all I recently bought the blu-ray HP box set, but find the picture recption really dark and quite poor. Does anyone else have this problem?

Hi All, I'm looking for some advice on the legal stuff behind owning a radio transmitter. does anyone know where i can find this information? I do have a valid licence from ofcom to operate on given frequencies, but i would like to know the legal details of been in possession of/owning a radio. Any help would be great. Dale

As everyone who knows me will testify, I am a computer and gadget numpty so forgive me if this is a really daft question Can you get such a thing as a mobile phone which has 2 Sim cards for 2 different phone numbers in it. I have my own phone but have to carry a very old force issue one as well, and it would be really handy to combine the two If you can get such a thing, do both the sim cards have to be with the same network (and are they expensive!?) Cheers

Hey guys I've had the old I Phone now for a bout a year and a half and it seems to freeze alot now. Has anyone else had problems like this?

I have an XFX HD 5870 1GB GDDR5 SDRAM graphics card which is going back with a fault under RMA. Retailing from £120 - £150 now (paid £200 in September last year!), would it be worth me selling the replacement and buying a new one? Like will something newer be that much better? Ta

I've had my iPhone4 for about a year now, probably just less. I went to update it the other day from iTunes and iTunes decided to corrupt the update I had to wipe my phone and start again. No sweat I though, I had backed it up beforehand anyway. All of the restoring and updating went fine apart from three apps that now will not sync to my phone - whenever I try and put them back on my iPhone, iTunes comes up with an error and tells me that these app's canno't be synced beacuse "the resources have been modified". I'm absolutly stumped as to what this means. I've not jailbroken the phone or modified the apps or anything like that, so I can't understand why I can't get them…

Right my last laptop has just died on me and am in need of some help in looking for a good value. I have looked at so many website on comparing what you should have but they mainly comflict each other!! What i am basically looking for is a laptop that can multi task, have numerous windows at once open, wireless internet and looks OK. Not massively expensive cheaper the better but still want the performance to so a few things at the same time. Cheers in advance SPSS
