How easy is it to get iplayer working on these? I was reading elsewhere that the app doesn't work as it needs flash?

As that will be its primary use it's a bit of a deal breaker!

You can get flash working see crafty link on page 2. I hope that HTML5 comes quick so we can get rid of flash!

Had a bit of trouble trying to get £15 credit from Google. The solution is to do a factory reset and then login / register your Google play acct when initially turned on. You should then get an email confirming the credit.
Great product - just got a cover/ wallet from Amazon and some sound magic ear buds :-)

Only a matter of time until Apple start claiming patent infringement and try to get the thing banned then...

Not happy. I've had an email saying mine will ship around the 20th. So much for pre ordering on launch day - may as well have ordered from ebuyer.

I ordered mine on the 13th turned up yesterday. Maybe the 8GB one isn't as popular? I only want it to browse the web whilst watching telly, so didn't need the extra RAM.

Sorry to correct you, 8/16GB isn't ram, it's internal memory. They probably all have just 1GB RAM. nerdgetmecoat
