  I have just got a tablet not the Tesco one, last night I
  copied several films onto a micro sd card so I can watch them in the lorry and can even manage my bank account on it. Mine runs on an android system and it synced instantly with my Samsung phone. I can heartily recommend a tablet.

  I've had the Apple ipad for a year or so now Howard and I have probably used it more than my laptop, as a tablet is so convenient that it becomes almost addictive!
  
  You can surf the web with ease and some of the available apps are really good. Facetime and Skype are also great for video contacting and simple to operate. The Kindle app is also useful and makes book reading easy on a decent sized screen.
  
  It will be interesting to see how the Tesco tablet performs as a Tesco member, using the voucher reward scheme, could buy one for a lot less than the £119 price tag!

  iPad is the Apple brand name for their tablet Howard. Tablet is a generic term which covers all manner of brands.

  I love my i pad, have used them for about 3 years now and find it really handy when I am out and about or working on the train into London/waiting around. I can pass the time catching up on the news etc (free wi-fi in lots of places) or just watching a film/playing a game/listening to music.

  thanks for info everyone the prices seem to vary enormously, just looked through the argos website and they start at about a hundred and head towards £.500.
  
  i think the tesco one sounds about right for my needs.
