Nice peice of kit, bought Mrs. one for her birthday 8 months ago, she's not put it down since.

She uses the standard browser for sky mail, and other internet stuff, has the kindle app installed, she's not a 'must have everything' person, so doesn't have rafts of apps, I can say it has regular use and has never let her down.

i'm getting one soon, but i'm waiting for the ASUS TF700, basicly a ASUS Transformer prime with a few issues sorted out, will be very high res, fast, and can dock into a keyboard to double its battery life, and make typing easier, my laptop is an ASUS, and i have used their motherboards in the last 2 PC's i have built, they build some nice kit

I got one for my wife for Christmas, and she uses it all the time. Much easier to idly surf the web/FB/email/games on the sofa than a laptop.

Missus bought me one last year brilliant bit of kit but android did take some working out.
Must have free app to add to Tridents choice is filmon watch something decent on TV while the missus has got girly shite on.
Few accessories below, the first one is a must.

Go for it...I've a Sony Tablet and use it very regularly - email, locostbuilders, kindle, news, etc. The only reason I don't take it to work is that my 4yr old son has taken a liking to "Daddy's toy" and loves playing games / colouring on it.

Some of the office applications are fantastic with direct access to read/write MS File formats and also sync with Google docs..

I use the Icloud service and if you got a Eye-Fi Pro X2 8 GB you could just drop them directly on it.

Still need a laptop/netbook as they dont have a lot of memory.......
