Yes, you get 64GB of storage, but you also get a tablet that doesn't do much and will do even less in the future. For a little more, you do get less storage on the Nexus, but you get a totally up-to-date, fully functioning tablet that is going from strength to strength.”
Such an ill informed post! Where to even start with that?? Flash works just fine, infact better than on any other tablet that I have used and I have used many including ipads which doesn't even support it. It's clearly the best implementation of flash bar none!
BBC site is perfect! you can even click on the little videos scattered across the pages and they all play.
As for apps! There is an app for pretty much anything that is needed in the real world. Yes there are games too, pic editing apps, radio apps, weather apps etc etc. So there aren't a million apps of the same thing, so what?? the ones I have are of great quality and functionality.
As for your comment of not getting any better in the future! What a load of rubbish. You obviously haven't heard of BB OS10 which is due out next year which will bring yet more features and some seriously good apps as RIM have been aggressive in getting some big time developers onboard, offering them big incentives to make exclusive and cross platform apps. Go on to youtube and check out app demos made by TAT and you will be blown away as to the potential.
£129 is a worthwhile investment for a great, functional, solid and powerful tablet, with a constant improvement curve.
The Playbook will only get better
