Looking forward to OLED coming...finally. That Samsung one looks sexual. Jay, did you read about Samsung also bringing a TV out that allows you to upgrade the hardware?

Post by: Jay on 11 January 2012, 17:09: That's it, intriguing if nothing else. I've tried a Win7 tablet and :sick: utter sh!te with an Atom processor and normal apps that aren't built for touch screens.

Post by: Jay on 11 January 2012, 20:28: tbf, Win7 was never designed for touch interfaces, it's all the silly OEM's putting it on them that's the frustrating part. MS should reign them in.
