    shows how searches can throw up differing results....if amazon, go with dave's kingston find ;) , or if absolute cost, go with the play.com.


    p.s. sorry, can't resist a "find the cheapest/best RAM" hunt :D

    I have found some amazing and shocking prices on Amazon like an ipod touch 8GB 2nd gen £152 from amazon, or £350 from some Amazon Market place. I'm thinking they are trying to con someone into buying an iPod thinking they are getting an iPhone

    take it back the battery was defective. If its a 3 cell battery then it only lasts about 2-4 hrs on a full charge which is a totally pointless for the purpose of a netbook
