PCworld... surprised me today
Bought an ink cartridge today from them online.
Cheapest out of amazon, ebay and any other so-called cartridge sellers by 3 quid.
Even got another 10% off + free delivery...
Shows you to shop around, also at the high-street names.
Especially when combined with those voucher codes

I went for one of these a couple of weeks ago. Its not an Ipad, but its not far off. I keep it in the car and by using my Blackberry as a WiFi hotspot, have decent internet access everywhere I go. When you look at what you pay for cheap tablets, its a very good buy. Man with no D3 anymore, but cant leave the forum....how sad.

Here's another one , was told about this and thought ideal for the kids for their Facebook etc and to put a couple of movies on.
Now the bad bit, can you get hold of one ?……… NO.
Spoke to the large staples in Birmingham, they had one delivered and a staff member bought it 
Phoned customer services to see if I could get one, Basildon, Essex could have ONE, Coventry has one but it's broken
Why advertise something you can't buy ?, rant over

Bought one too, but as a complete numpty am struggling to get it to accept my Blackberry phone thing's contact list, applications and set up for Twitter etc. Though it is taking e-mails OK.
Didn't find the online handbook that great either.
But will persist and already some things are proving great. Probably my age...
Incidentally, a very useful feature would be opening a Word file from my PC (can't work out how to do that either) then making changes and having tracker mark up each change. Does it do that? Andy C

These blackberry things...are they good even if you don't have a blackberry? I assume you can load films onto them (somehow) and use them on the wifi at home, which is I think all I'm really after. In effect just a cheap tablet to save having to start up the laptop every time I want to use the net.
I'm based in Germany, so won't have a use for a sim card in it. Will they still work in that instance?
Grateful for any pointers. IT no really my thing.
Cheers. PAGODA

Pagoda.
They dont need a SIM card, they will work with any wireless broadband router or Wi Fi hotspot, you dont need a Blackberry Phone to make it work. I guess you can put films etc onto it. It has a HDMI and mini USB socket, so I guess if your music/films are on an external hard drive you will be able to watch them as well. I have plugged my Playbook into my TV to watch the BBC Iplayer and it worked a treat. You can (Althought I havent got around to it) sync an Ipod to it. (I think)
(IT isnt my thing either, so no doubt someone with a better brain than I have will come on this thread and put us all right.) Man with no D3 anymore, but cant leave the forum....how sad.

You can sync it with iTunes and putting movies on is as easy as drag & drop, if it is in mp4 format, if not you'll need a program like handbrake to convert , you can connect to your tv via the hdmi port.
