Looking into buying one.
Can some1 advise the difference between 16gb & 32gb, except for the obvious being that its faster?
Also what's the deal with "with/without special offers on locked screen" I assume this is ads popping up but having not used one im not sure whether they pop up whilst yer in the middle of something or not??

The obvious is not obvious ... 32GB is double the STORAGE SPACE over 16GB, not SPEED. And that is the ONLY difference.
The "special offers" bit means you can either pay more to get one that doesn't show you adverts, or pay less and get one that DOES show you adverts. Personally this was the show-stopper for me when I looked at a Nexus 7 (back in 2012) versus a Kindle Fire HD ... the fact Amazon even OFFERED this option was enough to turn me away.0 -
