Ten ten-inch tablets

£115 for 10" ICS

£1150 for Sumvision Cyclone Voyager running ICS - very light and very usable.

Battery life is about 4-5hrs and will have to see about longevity but so far it does everything my wife's £400 Android tablet does. I bought it for taking travelling so if it gets lost or stolen it is not the end of the world.

tint2

I am using Gnome3 after using Unity for a while. The saving grace for both these efforts is the tint2 task bar which gives window management back to the user.

Perhaps I am missing something but I don't understand how Gnome3 and Unity have no real way to easily switch between apps/windows other than with Alt-Tab or Alt-` or Windows+mouse click - it is just a killer for productivity.
