I think the opposite is true with the apps, its too new for alot of apps/sites to work with it yet, and it's very buggy Wouldn't agree with the "half as good". Its more customisable than an ipad and with a few bits and bobs is more functional too - usb otg is quite a bonus. Buggy ? its not buggy at all, mine hasn't crashed or even force closed an app. The only app I haven't been able to load is the official flickr one, other than that everything works just fine.

Ordered mine from ebuyer as Play store wanted to charge a Tenner for delivery. I don't mind if I get it a little later. I just want one for £200. No more.

Our experiences vary then! Both the Netflix and BBC news app seem to crash periodically, and viewing certain things in the dolphin browser randomly terminates the application losing all your tabs, and I cannot work out what's causing it!

I meant to add, the app 'tablet talk' is fantastic.
It let's you send and receive texts and calls on your tablet via your phone (android only) using Bluetooth or WiFi.

Mine arrived this morning, had to cut the outer sleeve off as I couldn't push the inner box out.
It's a very nicely made piece of kit. Surprised there is no BBC iplayer app coming up for it.

Doesn't the screen rotate
Edited to say I can get it to rotate for a film, but nothing else at the moment.

Every app I've seen auto-rotates. The home screen doesn't unless you hack it.

Dammit lost all my bookmarks, there's just a chrome symbol on the widget screen.

Does anyone know how to get keypad tones to turn off, I've been in the settings and unticked 'touch sound' but that doesn't stop it when browsing chrome and typing...

CatJ said: Still doesn't rotate for everything does it? No, it has no landscape mode on the home screen, which is very odd! Doubly so when the home button does move to the bottom, but the apps and dock buttons dont! its all very jumbled up. it would be nice to be able to lock the home button at the bottom in portrait where it uses very little of the screen, but still use the device in landscape mode, where the bar uses up a fair percentage of the already very short screen. can this be done? also, how do I activate a keypad lock?

also, how do I activate a keypad lock? What do you mean by "keypad lock"? As for the homescreen, odd indeed, as the Samsung Tab and HTC flyer I used revert to landscape no problem  . Sounds like an odd omision.

Agree that one is the only one I have seen that I like. All the others looks like chunky, fake leather pieces of junk which go all the way round the bezel. Can't believe there aren't more similar to that design. ETA: On the otherhand.... This looks like the work of a genius
