Over half of UK consumers would consider buying a tablet pc – such as the Samsung Galaxy Tab or Apple iPad
Of those preferring Samsung’s model, over one third (35%) said they would choose the Samsung Galaxy Tab because of its smaller size and greater portability, its increased functionality in the form of its additional capacity as a phone (29%), and the inclusion of Adobe Flash (27%). The Samgsung Galaxy Tab’s screen measure just 7 inches versus the iPad’s 9.7 inch screen and it is also around half the weight (380g vs. 680g). Of all of those questioned, over one in five (23%) said that phone functionality, and a camera were important elements to include in a tablet PC – all features that Apple’s iPad does not currently offer.

Escape from reality with video games
There are genuine bargains to be had when it comes to buying the latest PlayStation, Wii and Xbox titles.

But stop and think about the humble ant. They’re fearsomely strong for their size, their society is perfectly ordered (no ant has an existential crisis or work-related stress), they’re tireless and can work together without argument to overcome huge obstacles…if they were a foot long, instead of a millimetre, surely humans wouldn’t be the dominant species? We’d be carried off like leaves by a long line of insect masters…
