    Nexus 7, Galaxy 10.1, Sony Tablet S and even Asus Transformer.

    Where are you supposed to buy these from?

    Well from an Android in the ascendancy perspective - that's great news!

    It obviously leaves frustrated people though. Have you tried online? Or, if you're so tech savvy that you mean they're sold out everywhere online, have you tried in high street shops?

    I've checked a few online stores, but don't know the main trusted sites I guess.

    And yeah, no stores in the Louth area have them

    Spin up to Newry so, plenty of stock up there, you can reserve a Nexus 7 for 24hours on PC world, and collect it up there....

    Regarding the Samsing Galaxy 10.1, as I mentioned on another post, CPW are not stocking these any more as, according to a staff member I was speaking to when trying to get some, they cant get them sold.

    DID were giving the Galaxy 7" away with TV's in a promotional sale/offer a while back so they might have access to some stock

    You are a lifesaver. Thanks

    Sorry, just to make sure, if I use a NI address, I can still go to the Dublin location to collect?

    Yes you can, they receive it in the north and forward it down to one of the units for collection using your mobile number and a pin they send you. Only thing is your only insured up to €100 but other ppl have had expensive items shipped without problems

    So I can't get if off Ebuyer because my card obviously doesn't match the NI address given to me by Parcel Motel.

    What other sites can I get a Nexus 7 from? Carphonewarehouse, PC world and the like all seem to have the same layout as Ebuyer

    I just ponied up for the toshiba excite. I was holding out for a transformer infinity, but the reviews I saw were underwhelming, so I went for the best all rounder of the rest. They have them on komplett, dabs and elara. They only offered the 16gig, but it has a full size sd slot so I should be ok.
