[Closed] iPad has '80% of North American tablet market'

$199 for the Fire - £200 or a bit less?

It might just change everything.

DD - I believe it will!

So, it's not W7 and you're saying W7 is crap. OK, well we're clearly not going to have much in the way of a sensible discussion then, are we?

£50 and I'll have it 😉

PP - what model ? I'm after a new, useless, laptop for my wife

😀

Ok, in that case, £25 and that's my final offer. I'm after a REALLY useless laptop to use as a media player 😉

Bah, Okay £17.50

Delivered, mind

i think flash renderings going to be in the cloud, rather than on-device. Should make browsing nice and nippy

Don't think that would work. Saying you're playing a Flash game in a 640x480 window. If it was "rendered in the cloud" then you'd have to download a 640x480 image 20 times a second. 😯

Cloud rendering only helps for fairly static things like HTML pages.

Anyway, back to the Fire, looks like it has potential. Can't really think how big a 7" screen is (yes, I know...). All the connectivity sounds interesting.

dammit pants. OK, I'll pay postage PP - and maybe a pack of hobnobs.

see, this is just how it was in the cold war arms race 👿

I'm out unless you put Linux on for me

No. Where did I say that?

I'm saying I've heard it all before and been disappointed.

Scaredypants, It's a Dell XPS
One of these I think

320gb HD though, bigger than that one.

No discs though, it works OK, but it really needs wiping and starting again and I can't be arsed.
£150 posted when I get my iMac.

If you're interested, drop me an email, (in profile) and I'll give you some more details.
To be fair it's a nice looking bit of kit and lightning fast, but I bought it used off a mate, at less than a year old, and they'd lost the discs (if they ever had any)
I reckon it needs W7 putting on it personally. Which apparently should sort it......

There's been a lot of hasty editing above my last post!

Looks like the offer's disappeared there PP 😕

Exatly DD! 2 of them I think!

Put money where mouth is? 😉

100 posts! (that is)
THough I'd give you a £100 for it.

SOLD to Zippy for £100 + vat + delivery.

Paypal gift please! 😉

what's your paypal addy?

*Reports PP and z1ppy for buying/selling on the OT Forum*

More hasty editing! ^^^^

still says what you jokingly thought it did though... but yeah I'd give you a ton for it (Exc P&P)

Mine doesn't!! 😉

but yeah I'd give you a ton for it

Yeah, so would I becasue there's profit in that price! 😛

ahhh, missed that.. £120 & reasonable P&P, yep still would.
Old man needs a laptop, and an (my) old copy of XP installed that would be great.

EDIT: You not seen my collection (hoard) of old computers/bits have you? Selling for profit, nahhh whats that about?

Zippy, joking aside, email me. 🙂

First this thread became a running commentary on what Amazon's up to in some gazebo, and now it's become the [i]let's buy a knackered laptop[/i] thread.

I've not seen a thread on here quite so spectacularly lose its way as this one has in ages. Well, minutes.

It my [s]party[/s] thread and I'll do what I want to!

ygm PP btw

Hate to break this to you PP, but iTunes sync is just as terrible on Mac OSX and it is on windows

But as Graham says, iOS 5 does away with a lot of sync related issues (although you still need to use it to transfer photos etc, which is a massive pita).

You can always mail pictures to yourself, then you won't ever have to connect it to a pc. Or Simply upload to flickr or MobileMe iCLoud or whatever.

@Graham S

Ready DD?

1...2...3...

"Will it have..." 😉

funnily enough I just used flash on my mobile to see the full details on the new kindles on the amazon site. the mobile and iPhone versions don't have that content 😉

You lucky lucky bastard clubber.

*Fires up Skyfire*

🙂

ah now skyfire's not bad but.... you can't skip through longer videos with it which I found a drag.

Actually, I haven't really fired it up as I think it's a bit shit tbh.

It's useful for certain "specialist" video sites, especially as it has a private browsing mode...

G, you dirty dirty bastard. Jesus, between yourself and clubber...to hell in a handcart you're going, the pair of you. 🙂

c'mon DD, the whole point of these things is easy-wipe 🙄

Easy wipe? You're a dirty flecker an' all scaredy. 😛
