Jump up & down on it. Thrash it with a tree branch & repeat after me "why, oh why, oh why did I not listen to bobo & get another device".

If you do that 3 times, whilst hopping on one foot when the eye-fone is set to "settings>>copy>>why, oh why, oh why" you'll be right.

iPhone users need everything doing for them. You should just get over it and accept it's for the best if it's downloaded your Facebook Contacts.

Hopefully it'll download a load of Twitter feeds next, as you deserve them. :mrgreen:

That's because we have better things to do than to work out a phone's gubbins, and why we call upon those of you that don't. :fingers:

I'd like to say that I'm not going to join in on this occasion.

It's like shooting fish in a barrel with an semi-automatic rifle.

That's all.

As you were.

(tho, Bijou Bob .... bravo !!)

My Dad's going to New Zealand for 10 weeks and he's tasked me with finding him a decent tablet so we can send him pictures and videos of the little un developing and stuff (easy to use and a decent sized screen for his old bastard eyes). Might get damaged a bit as he's into all sorts of shenanigans, so cost is an issue.

I saw a HP Touchpad for 100 sheets online. They any good?

You can get one from Worthy's mate for a good £300 less than that.

It doesn't work unless you can reprogram it but you'll save some cash while you save up for an iPad.

It works fine without any reprogramming, but has a shite apps store. So I converted mine to an Android OS.

I won't be saving up for an iPad.

I wouldn't recommend it to people too thick to do simple maths.

If you don't want to spend too much then the Nexus 7 is very good for what you pay. Made by Asus, who make decent quality stuff.
