Yes, we all know Android is Linux (and IOS a pale copy Linux), but this is the real deal. Available next week in a "flash sale".  Stay tuned, we'll try to buy one for review!

looks a bit like the 'apus' app interface - nice idea, although does it have the user options to organise the 'cards'? (that last android update has screwed so many tablets!!)

If I knew what any of this meant I might be excited!

Interesting, I believe! I'm afraid that, while I spend my working life online, I am something of a luddite when it comes to the technical side of things, and am just getting to grips with 'apps'. I do own - and use daily - a Samsung tablet, I now have a Kindle, but my laptop still runs on Vista. I've only just caught up with the 21st century!

I'd be more excited if they scrapped the connection charge and used advertising to replace it. At the mo we get blitzed with adverts and pay to see them!
