Any tablet that isn't a Blackberry playbook, it does everything an Android can do but faster, more reliable and with better privacy. And it can run most android apps. And as for the ipad, its cheaper, better and doesn't transfer all kinds of private information to apple.0

Only a cheap thing, but a solar-powered battery charger, which claimed to charge AA and AAA batteries, but could never get a charge level above "weak" even after sitting in a sunny window all day.0

Amazon Kindle. I had 2, boyfriend had 1 and all 3 broke before a year (or just over). It wasn't a regret buying it, just the short life scan, and the fact if you got a new one you didn't get any extra coverThank you all for making MSE so wonderful!

My Palm Zire 21 PDA never realised its potential. However, it's now enjoying an active retirement as an electronic shopping list. I use it more now that I did when I first bought it.If you fold it in half, will an Audi A4 fit in a Citroen C5?

So you bought an android tablet and an iPad but regretted both purchases?There's love in this world for everyone. Every rascal and son of a gun.
It's for the many and not the few. Be sure it's out there looking for you.
In every town, in every state. In every house and every gate.
Wth every precious smile you make. And every act of kindness.

A chocolate fountain
+1 for that!
OH insisted on buying one. Used it once - utterly pointless and an expensive waste of good chocolate. Sitting in the garage now, awaiting being lobbed in the bin when I can deny any knowledge of it's whereabouts.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the In My Home MoneySaving, Energy and Techie Stuff boards.
