Hi

Any recommendations for tablet computers,  not buying yet, but I have so
many pdf files it may help to have something other than a netbook to
read them on,

So android OS and a kindle App would be useful too,   pdf reader is
colour which is helpful esp as Open university course books are in
colour,  and the electronic versions are PDF, so being able to read
without having to cart a pile of books around with me would be useful.

given a kindle costs £89 a little more gets a tablet that can do a lot
more.  Or even a little less.

I guess these things hook up to wifi too,  not that important but a
feature.


any recommendations

Scroll excel or extreme.. both capacitive screens - the excel got a good review on the gadget show.

A friend of mine bought a Scroll Excel. The main problem is that the one the Gadget Show were given was not the same spec as the one that ended up on sale. For example TGS had one with the genuine Android Marketplace, but the one my friend had, brand new from Amazon had a third party one which was nowhere near as good. Scroll actually have a page on their website noting the differences.

In general terms I'd suggest capacitive over resistive every time... the one I did try with resistive was a total nightmare to use.
