I read a test of an Android 2.2 tablet in an expert magazine a week ago.
General opinion was that this version of Android is *not* fit for a tablet, screen is too big therefore the processor cannot keep up. Irritating slow and the interface is wrong. Can't imagine 2.1 being better.
Thought I'd share this before people go and spend 130 quid uninformed. In this case: try before you buy/cry.

Had a flyer from BT offering the same thing at the same price (more or less) but following it up on the WWW and it got a pretty poor write up - shame as I fancy a "tablet" style PC for carrying around in the caravan. LR Discovery 4 XS pulling an Airstream 532 Caravan also own (since new) a 1996 MGF

So do I but I'm waiting to see the iPad 2, about that time the choice in pc style tablets (android and windows) will be better too.

Gingerbread is the way foreward. A £130 tablet is not a great idea. Motorola have shown the way forward for Android at CES. THAT will be getting my dollar  I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

If you want a hand with that evaluation, just look at my post count to get an idea of how much I cane technology  I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

Agreed that I doubt a £130 tablet will be very good... this one though http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/advent-vega-i...6-pdt.html apparently is a lot better, esp if you download a performance pack from the Modaco site.
