Odd that you say that :p:

Do you remember the old Mobile Computing subforum or was it before your time? It must've been a year or two ago, we just renamed the subforum to what it is currently because so many people didn't understand that laptops were covered under it. So it probably won't be being renamed back to that any time soon, but we may change the forum title to include tablets. Officially, tablet threads should be in there now and I do move them when I see them :smile:

It's good, I like it. Especially how it all syncs with my desktop - passwords, tabs, bookmarks etc. Perhaps a bit slow but that might just be down to my ageing 3GS. I didn't actually watch the keynote so I have no idea :p:

I have no objections to this.

Are you able to do it with your new (old) superpowers?

Only admin can change forum names, as far as I know.

I'm going to wait until the reviews for the Nexus 7 come out before deciding whether to buy it. Although every opinion differs, the reviews generally give a good indication of the devices capabilities - it's strengths and weaknesses.

Chrome for iOS :sexface:

Apart from the fact that Apple won't let you set it as your default browser.

All initial reports and reviews I've seen so far have been very favourable, although I couldn't imagine Google putting the Nexus name to anything that wasn't a quality machine anyway.

You can do it if you're jailbroken (yeah I know it should come stock and all that :tongue:

)

Not anymore, though I used to be. It was slowing everything down, and my phone is already old/slow enough as it is :nopity:

Isn't that like not allowed, just like how Microsoft were forced to give users a choice of browsers with the machines that come with Windows pre-installed, seems like double standard ¬¬

Was that a ruling based on being able to make other browsers the default browser, or just being able to install/use them?

I think it was more to do with freedom of choice, as they were automatically given IE without any choice as many don't know about other browsers. But that default browser thing should apply, restricts a bit of choice as it's effort in some ways

Currys also have 5% cashback on all sub-£200 tablets if you go through quidco. I hear you can get referral links to it if you aren't signed up already :ninja:
