Scotland 2017 Range Rover Autobiography SDV8 Loire Blue

I guess it's all down to Android vs IOS?

Android seems to be getting more popular all the time, and people are getting fed up being tied into iTunes, so maybe ............... Thumbs Up Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue

United Kingdom 2005 Range Rover Vogue Td6 Bonatti Grey

As long as your not pushing multiple things at once I can imagine it would be great for the money.

The 10" ones look even better for kids and stuff for us Vogue/HSE owners as they could run off a 1watt supply from the rear accessory socket, but would only extend its life not charge it i feel as they usually require about 1.5-2amp of power... FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's

New Zealand 2010 Range Rover Autobiography 5.0 SC V8 Galway Green

I am an Android fan since I bought the Galaxy S. Still haven't decided on which tablet, leaning to the Samsung Tab. Never liked the "strangehold" Apple keeps on their users/products.

There are plenty (cheap) alternatives around such as LG (one of my colleagues bought it, worked fine on Android). I suggest to look at the various reviews you can find on Google, I remember another Argos unit didn't do well in the reviews, mainly the touchscreen being below (current) standards. MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!
Have the Faultmate MSV2 Extreme to be tinkering with the settings etc. !!

i got a 10'' hannspad for £150 of ebuyer...flashed it with a custom rom [very easy] and it runs like a good'un..

if you go cheap make sure you can flash it , they custom roms run much faster and cleaner..

slatedriod.com is a good forum for this.. ... - .- -.

Archos Arnova has resistive screen, so not very responsive. I got a couple of 8" ones cheap at work. They work OK but you have to be patient and precise. Still not found a cheap enough Android device with the screen anywhere near as good as the iPad (damn, did I just say something good about an Apple product?)

The three Kogans I have bought (1 x 8" and 2 x 10") are going down well with the kids at school (SEN) so they offer good value ar present and have the capacitive screen. You can get a folio cover from HK quite cheaply. .

The eBay ad says you can chose capacitive or resistive though.

Is that not really the case Joe? FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's
