    Will a 16gb model do for my 8 year old to play games and surf the web ?

    The 32gb is the same price as the 16gb at the moment, and Currys will sell Norton antivirus for tablets for £5 plus a £10 voucher.

    The new version of android (4.2) comes with user accounts - what they means is that you should be able to set up an account for them to use that is set up with kid friendly content and also another user account for yourself.

    I'm jealous! :)

    If you paid for insurance cover (we know what short shrift thats given here!!!) and norton antivirus, then you wasted money. Norton antivirus is a notorious nuisance; when its working away in the background, slows everything down. If you want security then there is plenty of superb free security available on the internet, like AVG and others. I think Martin has covered that somewhere before. Can't wait to get my Nexus!

    Agree! I hate it when those folks in currys, pc world et al take customers for complete mugs by convincing them to buy stuff they don't need. I suspect the insurance has so many get-out clauses its not worth the paper its written on. I'd recommend taking advantage of cooling off period and cancel it right away.
