Before following the sheep, have a look at the tablet pcs/ android ones they are miles better, cheaper and can do flashDon't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.0

mmmm while i agree with the miles better and cheaper and do flash(although this is now unsupported and is being phased out) i ahve had 4 different ones, different specs and makes and all have gone faulty, with the one lasting 6 weeks the most reliable so for me an Ipad wins on reliability.

Many thanks for the replies. Will probably go for the new IPad, but is there a big difference between the IPAD 4 and 3? :beer:0

Faster processor and graphics, new smaller dock connector...that's about it.0

You probably won't find many deals on the new iPad. Some employers allow you to buy direct from apple with a small discount, but you'll probably know if you work for someone who offers this (I know Royal Mail and NHS offer this). Other than that, you could consider John Lewis who whilst charge full RRP, offer a free 2 year guarantee unlike the usual 1 year one.0

If you are talking about the difference between the new iPad and the new version of the new iPad, then no, there is not really any difference except the dock connector has been replaced by the lightning connector0

could you provide top 5 of such tablets please. Btw puffin. Browser supports flash. My mrs has it on her iPhone. So I would assume that you can install it on iPad too. 0 -
look out for refurbished ipads from apple online. New screen, new battery and 12 month warranty.I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.
