BTW Mr Daz, do not be surprised if you find that after installing a few apps, the speed slows to that at which the tablet would lose a race against a snail. This is because the on-board memory is tiny* and you can't shift many pre-installed apps to your plug-in SD card. The only solution is a daily** visit to the on-board apps and delete the cached information. The browser is a hog at using up memory with unnecessary info. And many things that come preinstalled, such as a Greek, Portuguese or Scouser language/touch interface, can't be deleted. Or the useless e-mail interface it came with which has been replaced by K9.

* At least on mine. Friends of Mr OFSO will express no surprise that two years ago he bought a very cheap tablet, in fact the cheapest made, from Maplins, with which, however he is very satisfied.

** On mine, anyway, because as soon as the onboard memory gets below 20 megs the performance becomes dire.
