Wow, I am so jealous. On a good day I have half a mb, yes half, 512k, Then when it rains and the copper is wet this drops to around 200k. Roll on 4g:Sad: Just checked, its flying this morning at 0.72:cry:

No idea about the ipad as I am an android :Smile:My home system is with Virgin and delivers around 50mb and rising, give it a couple of weeks and you wont even notice the increase in speed until you use a slower system that will totally frustrate you.
If your son plays on-line gaming he will be well pleased.
My advice is to speed test your new system regulally and make a nuisance of yourself if it doesn't meet the speed, They changed all my connections and made some remote adjustments before I was happy with the service. I still get lows but not very often. :thumb:

As I see it the only positives are size, battery live and turn on speed. Compared to a lappy everything else is a negative. Not a lot for all that dosh:whatthe:

Screen capture on any iOS device is just press the power button and the home button at the same time.

Can't posting pictures be done with Copy & Paste, keep you finger on the image until the option appears.

Most youtube video should play, it's just Flash encoded that's a problem. Interestingly Adobe have given in and will soon stop releasing Flash players for all mobile devices including Android and Windows.

iPads Rule !!:thumb:

How odd is that, I've just watched this U tube clip on my iPad in superb hi definition, people keep telling me I can't? Maybe mine is really a zoom with a apple badge, no it can,t be, the quality is too good.

My son has had an Xoom for a couple of years, great bit of kit but he has now moved on. He now has a wafer thin SSD Ultrabook which he much prefers. The good news is that he is going to pass the Xoom onto me when I visit in September.:thumb:

I am on the verge of buying a 7" tablet. For one reason and one reason only.

My laptop pulls 5 amps. So over 8 hours that the tab runs on one charge my lap top would have used 40AH.

It means I can watch films without using masses of battery power. I don't need to either use masses of battery power when I want to monitor my email. and finally I can watch films in bed.

Also with a Mifi, I can carry it about and do my emails/work anywhere.

I will be going either with the new google nexus 7 or the old Blackberry Playbook.

I am not spending more than £150ish on something so limited. But they do have their uses.
