    The big question is what do you want to do with it.

    I have the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7" model and while it is great for travelling, for day to day use, it is a little small.

    Would the screen be big enough for you?

    I reckon it would be....I would mostly use it for watching tv/movies on the bus...and the usual email, apps, and bookface so I reckon it could be a winner.

    Does it have flash?

    It's Android 2.2, so it should.

    I think. :o

    Big problem with it is that it has very littlle on board memory..So if you are fond of having lots of Apps, you will find yourself restricted where some Apps cannot be saved to the SD card...that is my big issue with it despite the seeming good value price now...:)

    No Flash as the CPU is only ARMv6. It seems to be similar spec to a ZTE blade with a bigger screen.

    Price including delivery for this is €175 iirc?

    for an extra €75 you could get the advent vega off pc world/curry

    10.1 inch screen
    dual core tegra
    custom roms already running honeycomb
    flash support

    And the piece of mind of being able to bring it back to a shop if it breaks, not to mention not having to deal with ibood :P


    One draw back of the advent vega over this is no sim card slot
