Its barely been out of her hands since she unwrapped it. I can't get her to put it down.

Bought my father a tablet for Christmas... poor sod can't even turn it on...
Depends what you want from the tablet.. If you want it for everyday use, including work - then Google Nexus 7 is the way forward
If you want it to read books and the occasional app then maybe the Amazon Kindle Fire HD is also a decent shout...

Why would the kindle fire be better for apps and books? Anything you can do with Amazon's tablets you can do with any Google tablet and more. The kindle fire is not such a good deal as amazon lock you into their inferior appstore.

On a side note, Argos are selling iPad minis for £179. If you prefer iOS, this may be for you.

I await the BensGrandad thread six months down the line complaining of his Android tablet being slow.

Apparently, horror of horrors, iPads slow down too.

.That wont happen as it is for my son and both wife and I have Samsung Galaxy and are both very happy with them.

Bit of a long shot....does anyone know if the big Tesco in Hove sells the Hudl?

I've just decided that I'd quite like a tablet - I'm going away tomorrow morning for a few days and it would be good to buy one tonight, so I have it for the flight etc.

I would think Tesco at Holmbush would be more likely but you can phone their Cust Svc in Dundee and they will tell you of the nearest branch that has one in stock.

Ah I don't drive and getting from my house in Hove to the Holmbush centre will be a right pain. I shall give the Dundee number a call. Thanks!

 

[BensGrandad]

No 2 bus direct to the store, I think.

I got one hooray! But not had the best start - before I can actually use it properly I have to do a system update, which in turn crashes the thing and I have to do a system restore. I've been going round in circles for about half an hour and I'm close to chucking the thing out the window.

I got my daughter an andriod tablet for Christmas. But i can't seem to get Flash player to work on it. I can only find Photon and that costs. I know its not much money but i don't want any form of payment attached to her google play account, I only want the free stuff. She has a pc for games but I can control what is bought. Anyway, does anyone know how to get Flash working on an andriod for free? I tried Firefox and that still said plugin missing.

Have you tried googling what you want to do and it will show simple instructions or failing that do Dundee customer services have IT back up.

We have a hudl.but I'd gladly sell the stupid thing, I reset if more than it works...make sure you buy a thin darning needle at the same time....

Use dolphin with dolphin jetpack. Flash should work on that although the problems you've got are because android, like apple, have stopped supporting it.

I presume that is the first generation Hudl? The second is a beast for the price, i bought my son one and it's very impressive. No resets yet and i bought it in November.

Yes it is first gen, I've read a few things which back up what you're saying, sadly we bought it a month before they announced the new one, gutted...and tesco won't take it back, they said they couldn't replicate its fault :-(

That sounds like very bad service. Tesco customer service has always been superb in my experience. Is there any chance you can take your complaint higher, it sounds as though you're got a faulty machine there? Even if you paid the difference, it would be worth upgrading.

I presume you've uninstalled all your apps and then one by one reinstalled? That way you can ascertain whether you have a rogue app or whether it really is hardware related.
