Hello David

Thanks for showing your interest in iPad 2. Not long left to wait, and you could be one of the first to get your hands on one.

It could be yours for only £229 and then just £25 a month on a 24-month contract. You’ll get a 16GB iPad 2 as well as 1GB anytime data, 1GB of quiet time data (that you can use from midnight to 4pm) and unlimited WiFi, so you can surf to your heart’s content.

Make sure you’re at the front of the queue, visit your local Orange shop from 5pm on Friday 25 March.

If you’re feeling lucky, and fancy a chance of winning one, why not visit the Orange shop at 32 Great Marlborough Street, London W1F 7JB this Friday the 25 March? To be in with a chance of winning you need to queue outside the shop dressed as your favourite iPad app between 4pm and 4.30pm. So switch your dress down Friday for a dress up Friday and make like an Angry Bird or Fruit Ninja down to the shop – the 10 judged to be wearing the best costumes will win an iPad 2. See full terms and conditions below.

Best wishes

Orange

What tablets would you recommend for HD video playback, which also have an excessive amount of storage?

In terms of video playback compatibility, MKV and TS are essential file formats.

7inch screen or more..

Not too bothered about other features TBH.

nothing can chat 2 ipad really

Research in Motion releases the Blackberry Playbook in just under a week to compete in the tablet market. CEO James Balsillie discusses the Playbook with Erik Schatzker on Bloomberg West at 6P ET/3P PT. Can the Playbook compete with the iPad 2 & other tablets on the market?

No, swear its no better than the Atrix 2

[Guest Supreme Allah]

aint even as powerful as a Galaxy S 2

playbook 1Ghz, 1GB RAM

Galaxy S 2 (UK version) 1.2Ghz dual core, 1GB RAM

dunno about battery though Samsung is 1.65Ah playbook 5300 mAh, not sure which is better

only thing that i can see the blackberry beating the galaxy on is the front facing camera, its 3mp, Samsung is 4, and the fact that it comes in 64GB aswell

and bigger screen obv, but samsung with the super AMOLED plus should be prettier, even has DLNA & sh*t and that cisco anyconnect sh*t, im sure u use that

not worth my time tbh

[Guest Supreme Allah]

ill holla at my sis to bankroll the ipad 2 tbh

these others aint impressing me

[revs]

despite all the competition releasing nothing is touching ipad2

fak

[Guest Supreme Allah]

lol truss

doesnt the Xoom cost like £800 aswell?

shouldnt even try compete tbh, thats where theyre failing, just focus on a good product

During a media briefing in Japan today, Sony announced two new tablet computers, the S1 and S2, available globally this fall.

The S1 has a single 9.4-inch display while the S2 features two 5.5 inch screens in a clamshell design similar to the Nintendo 3DS. The dual screens can be used as one combined larger screen or separately to allow video to play on the top screen with input commands on the bottom, for example.

Both tablets are PlayStation Certified, allowing users to download and play PlayStation One titles through PlayStation Suite. They are also both equipped with Android 3.0, WiFi and 3G/4G.

Price details were not announced at this time. Hit up the gallery for sweet press shots.

dual screen one looks sh*t with that curved design and massive bezel

should have done something slicker than this

issue with these is upgrading, Im guessing they dont use the stock OS so if it messed and you no recovery disk (laptop) then ur pretty much screwed unless they offer them as downloads on their site

[shaian]

why do i still want a ipad knowing i have no use for it and will hardly ever use it.

[Yoshie]

It's the adverts, I want one just to do that thing where you can spread out bare photos.

[DRC]

Got my hands on a playbook today- RIM should have delayed the release, done more research and released something that would be competitive in the market...

Nice screen but how you gonna release a product that relies on another product to carry out basic functions. e.g. email, calendar, etc

Each and every clown that suggested and approved that was a good idea. deserves their pink slip post haste

[shaian]

whats the cheapest i couple pic up a original ipad for now? wifi 16g

[Guest 11 Bills]

Galaxy tab10.1 got re-designed

thickness is esame as iPad 2 but its lighter

[Lenny]
