    Maybe a stylus from the pound shop is the answer ?

    You'll soon get used to it. I used to have the same problem, now I do most of my web browsing on a 4 inch screen

    This might sound daft but which way do you hold the tab? If you hold it with widest side vertical the screen narrows, if you hold it widest side horizontal the screen is wider, hope this helps i have big fingers to.

    Don't worry, you'll get the hang of it.

    In the meantime, try tapping with your nail rather than your finger, it should still register.

    It shouldn't register, unless it's got a nasty resistive screen.
