This is better. Android 3 (which is designed for tablets), better processor, screen and much more futureproof.

ARCHOS 80 G9 PC Tablet - 8GB - 199.99
Also at Laskys and Comet both offering slightly better cashback.

Main problem is a screen ripple effect, although this may have been ironed out now?0 -
Hi guys
Not up to speed with the tablet stuff. A work colleague wanted to get a tablet and was looking at the iPad2 but only really wants it to surf the web and play a few games, Skype etc.
Am I right in thinking if she uses this tool she would be able to get access to those apps etc on the Android market?
Cheers

I've not done it, but apparently it does give you Skype etc.
