>>>>Hi All, I'm in the market for an Android tablet and would like your views / suggestions as to which one to go for - my budget is up to £500 so I should have a chance of a good one - any ideas ?
>>>
>>>Out of curiosity, why are you asking for an Android recommendation?
>>
>>Because this is the Android section - and I don't like Apples' take on freedom ( I'm a Linux man forced to earn a living via M$ ) :-)

>Anti-freedom, that's a pretty strong way of putting it. But thank you for answering honestly.

>I can relate to earning a living in something that would not be my first choice in a perfect world. I own one Apple computer along with numerous iPhones and iPods. My younger daughter quickly shanghaied the iMac and then took it to college with her. Between the three of us we have half a dozen desktops and laptops, all running Windows. As you say, that is the world we live in.

>I have been reading the new biography of Steve Jobs and recommend it. One of the things that comes through loud is clear is that he was a complex person. At times he was someone you would run through the proverbial wall for. At other times he was, well, an a**hole. He famously said that Apple didn't conduct market research because we know what consumers want before they know it. Visionary or pompous jerk?
Mike, did you see the movie about Steve Jobs and Bill Gates called Pirates of Silicon Valley?
