    Indeed. But I'd rather pay £1.88 than risk bricking something for which I've just paid £169 (inc p+p). ;)

    You don't need to connect a ipad mini to a PC to activate it, or any ipad for that matter. You do have to with an iPhone though.

    Now i've made up my mind I can't buy a Nexus 7 16gb anywhere?? On ebuyer it's saying that it's possibly been discontinued, any one find it available anywhere?

    There was an 8GB and 16GB. Now it's 16 and 32. 8GB was only available direct from Google, now the same is true for the 16, apart from old stock the stores would have. Now that the 16 is OOS at Google, and considering I never saw it cheap on the High Street, I think you're stuck with the 32GB.

    Didn't it come along with the advent is iOS5? Been able to set up without the need of a PC for ages.

    Yeh, iOS5 which was released in september 2011. It's been done as people may buy an ipod touch or ipad, and purchase all media through itunes on the device and store on icloud...

    You want a Kindle Fire HD or a Nexus 7 - going cheaper brings too many compromises IMO. Keep a look out for deals/stock, and consider eBay.

    It really depends on what you want from a tablet. Some other options linked below.

    BlackBerry PlayBook? Reading Kindle books on it might be a bit fiddly though...
