    Kudos for the picture of the kids swearing

    I'm tempted to buy one at £30 just because it's so cheap - I wonder how it would compare to the china tabs? Even £50 for one with EDGE is tempting...got no need and no use for one but still, very cheap

    If this had gps it'd make a great tablet to mount in a car and use as a satnav/audio player.

    If this can be rooted and have custom rom's it'll definatly be worth picking up to mess about with (plus you could share your phone gps with it then too.)

    At £30, if the screen is any good then it might be worth a go as a news/web reader and XBMC remote for the living room.

    I think the resolution is something like 320 x 400 doing a quick google ...makes the Argos effort look positively HD!

    come on guys there being Real Gangstaz American crap gets everywhere
    What does it matter now if men believe or no?
    What is to come will come. And soon you too will stand aside,
    To murmur in pity that my words were true

    That was probably the first sign I learned, too. After demonstrating my new found prowess to my father, it was also the last one I attempted for quite a while.

    Edge!?! I haven't heard that name since the original iphone got laughed at for supporting it instead of 3g.
    You might be able to check your gmail with it and send the odd instant message (not facebook though) but that's about it
