That's what I got my Mrs - how's the WiFi connection ? this one seems a bit suspect it drops it in certain areas of the house where laptops stay connected. I might have to send it back. I watched some stuff I'd downloaded on BBC IPlayer in the car whilst Mrs D was shopping - excellent picture quality and the battery life seems pretty good.
Seems pretty good so far...working very well off the wifi in my lounge here...perfect.
Haven't tried it upstairs.
I've been busy unticking all the Google spying crap that they automatically tick for you.
It took me about an hour to tick through all the tutorial crap after which I realised you could disable it

They'e laughing all the way to the bank.Christmas and new year has come and gone yet still this tablet is selling like hot cakes. .They can't keep up with the demand
I had to email the Chief Executive of Tesco who finally got mine delivered a few days before Christmas, the original one is still in the black hole of Yodel Reading Depot. No recompense or gesture for their appalling service.
To be fair, my local Tesco non-food dept have always given me really efficient and friendly service.
Also gave me a brilliant deal on my Xbox not long ago.
Oh, and I'm lovin this Hudl thing. Easy, even for a twirp like me.
Sounds good. Glad you are enjoying it.
If you like you tube and want to download the video from it.
Search for an app called "tubemate"
It's not on the google play store. you have to download it from a website.
If you search tubemate on google on the tablet and download it from
http://www.androidfreeware.net/downl...-tubemate.html
you can choose the resolution to download and keep the video on the tablet or phone.
Thanks cheekee...located and bookmarked.
+ a rep for you.
Thanks Graham.
You have to download the apk (program/app) from that web address onto your tablet.
Scroll down and click on the blue bar that says download (halfway down).
You then install it on your tablet.
Yep...got that. Cheers mate.
What's a Tablet, Ipod, Ipad And Smart Phone, also what do they do that my Mobile phone, Camera and Computer don't do, please?
A tablet is really just a computer,think of a laptop but without a keyboard.
It is like a big smartphone
Ipad, is a tablet made by apple with it's own operating system,the others are Android devices (the main rival to apple) more akin to a pc.
It's like all over those gadgets in one, in a convenient-sized package that will fit in a LARGE pocket. My tablet has two cameras (one forward facing, for Skyping etc), a mike, speakers, wi-fi, and more computing power than my desktop !What's a Tablet, Ipod, Ipad And Smart Phone, also what do they do that my Mobile phone, Camera and Computer don't do, p
I can also connect it to my PC or my TV to download and upload stuff, play videos, look at pics etc.
Thanks Les. So an Ipad & Ipod do the same thing?
So is this what your Hudl does Graham?It's like all over those gadgets in one, in a convenient-sized package that will fit in a LARGE pocket. My tablet has two cameras (one forward facing, for Skyping etc), a mike, speakers, wi-fi, and more computing power than my desktop !

Yes...I'm just going to use it to Skype my lady in Manila now.
Can't show her around the house using the desk top. lol...and I can't get skype on my mobile phone.
Update:
Hey, Skype works great on the tablet...better than on my old PC and webcam !
Sounds like you are having great fun with it Graham! I'm glad you found a bargainUpdate:
Hey, Skype works great on the tablet...better than on my old PC and webcam !
We took our Samsung tab on holiday last year and it was great for keeping in touch with all the family on Skype, thanks to the free wifi at hotels, restaurants and cafes.Update:

Plus all the other stuff, maps, books etc. all on a piece of kit you can slip in a coat pocket.
A real useful bit of progress.
No an ipod is for playing music only,ipad is much bigger and does everything,but it is basically a 'Tablet' but the most well known one as it was the first.So an Ipad & Ipod do the same thing?
Not necessary the best one though just the most well known.
Here are some reviews but it's easy to find just Google 'tablet reviews'

I have selected one of my dish-drying cloths to sew into a handy pouch, so that I can hang it round my neck, but under my shirt.
(Also may be used for wiping my brow or drying the odd dish.)

Having said that, It's got a bigger screen
For holidays (the only time i use it)I'll be sticking to my trusty notebook
All sewn and finished mate.Yes, you are a true Yorkshireman Graham!

Have you tried connecting it up to the TV yet with HDMI lead Graham ? I've got to buy a lead
No, I haven't actually.
I've got an HDMI lead from the Xbox to the TV, so I suppose I could borrow that (as my son pointed out when I was searching around for a lead).
Not too bothered to be honest, plus my telly is connected through to my main PC anyway.
Naturally I will avoid at all costs having to buy any extra leads.
must be that time of year..we all leaving the cold uk
I'm busy boiling my eggs..i'm not lettin those go to waste
Blimey, that sounds painful Mark.
