If I may quote part of your reply to WK;
"....my response was limited to the Tablet, not how I work around it's shortcomings."
I disagree. It was exactly about how you work around it's shortcomings, or in your particular case, not bother.
".....so I shall apologies to my crew on behalf of Emirates that, once again, I am unable to brief them".
Were you ever working here before GABI was available? Serious question. Just curious what or who you blamed before we adopted it. Don't you ever use the hard copy as WK pointed out? This over reliance on GABI and expectation that it's almost mandatory to use before flights is becoming ridiculous. It's a tool to help us. If our tablets can't download it, report it. Let the Company sort out the debacle and just do what needs to be done to get the job done safely. We have enough resources for that anyway so why use a dysfunctional system that's still under trial to cover for lack of basic resilience and common sense.
Also, whether we like it or not, the role of commander comes with some basic responsibilities.......responsibility being one of them! Starting your brief by blaming the Company is hardly a good example, especially when there are 'work arounds'.
