Android Tablets.

Any good, or something else.

Robots have no need for medication. Fact.

I never thought that through.

i've gotten my grubby hands on a couple at work, some of our developers are making apps for Android.

Think i had it in my hands a good 15minutes before getting bored with it (it was some sort of Philips model) and then started to feel like one of those students/non IT businessmen who buy iPads and use them on the train to maximize and minimize the same apps over and over again.

Tablets have a long way to go and a long way to fall in terms of price before they're "any good" which is just my opinion, which is right about everything. ever.

mrs.parkbenchi has an ipod touch. I use it to stream stuff over the wifi, so I can watch in the garden while I smoke. A bigger screen would be nice.

The best use i've seen for an iPad, is using TeamViewer to remote connect to your home/office PC/laptop. That way you have the full computer power, and nothing to carry.

I agree that it's probably a bit early for them. There are some cheap deals on 7'' screen Android devices about. About 95 squids. They run Android OS 1.6, which is shite, by all accounts. I think they're up to 2.2 or something else.

If the ability to remote login to your proper computer, and stream video / audio appeals, then FFS. Let mrs JP buy you one. It'll only end up in the phial with the rest of the unloved equipment anyways.

I have no unloved equipment. Fact.

Actually it's more to watch internet puntsphere over the wireless, which I do on occasion. I just don't fancy paying over 400 of your English pounds to do it.

The android thing with the SD and USB and stuffs looked a better buy to me then the IPOSE.

Different from the willowy Mrs B obviously. If I was a wisp of a lassie it would be the coolest thing in the World to the macs.

Wait am I thinking of the iPad rather then the iPod.

Same applies though. The wee screen would be no use, I am 83 now.

If the Android thingy could do the streaming of puntsphere over wireless, then i'd already have one. Obviousment.

If it can, then I'm a frayed knot.

Genius. She'll really appreciate that. Quite a mind on her. Especially these days.
