[Sussex] Tablet Talk Request

[Stephen Williams]

Fay,

 

If this is for the 27th. October I could bring along my Dell Streak 5” tablet. It runs Froyo and is also a 4G mobile phone. I got it as a free upgrade to replace my iPhone 3G – it’s much better.

Hi All,


Dave M. brought out his new Android tablet at the moot on Thursday. I wanted to know more about its capabilities but there wasn't time to ask. I've also eyed up the tablets at Phones4U but not known enough about them.

I'd quite like to see some simple demos of what is possible with some of these devices and hear their owners' opinions.

Things like how much RAM and storage, what's the connectivity like, cost on contract or PAYG, resolution, can you change screen orientation, what tricks can you do.

Things that are obvious to a seasoned user but a mystery to me as a non-owner.

Any offers?

Anyone else interested in an evening spent huddled round these little toys?

I was thinking both tablets and smaller hand-helds and the like.

I'm also (a bit) interested in the new cheap Kindle available in the US that Amazon seems to think owners will want to root. Like why?!


Best Regards,
