I agree Allen that is another reason I like the Coby it is much more responsive. As to updates We will just have to wait and see.
A little story about Samsung. Some years ago when the old CRT monitors were around, I had one were the signal cable was faulty when I tested it out of the box. I spoke to their technical and found out that they would send a replacement but it would be a refurbished unit. This was not good enough so I got them to send me a new signal cable, Supplied my client with a mew monitor of a different make, sold the Samsung cheap after explaining what had happened and decided never to sell another Samsung product. Which was a good thing as all the Samsung CD and DVD drives stared to fail after about 18 months. Earlier this year I was persuaded to try their laptops and was initially very pleased with them. However a couple of months ago a new Laptop arrived and the first problem was It wouldn't see the Office 2010 DVD. I took out the DVD writer and reinserted it and it worked just long enough to get Office installed. When I opened a new document I was surprised to see a thunder fly ( a very small insect that we get in the millions in rural UK when the corn is being cut) Crawling up inside the screen. When I rang Samsung, I was informed that they weren't considered as a warranty problem and that I would have to put up with it. The fact that the CD/DVD drive was working again they as much as said I was lying. I sent it back to my supplier and I am still awaiting a credit. Never Never will I sell another Samsung product and even though I like my Daughters Samsung Galaxy I will not be upgrading to one of those.

I this capacitive is more sensitive. I have a resistive android tablet and it's a dog. One thing I have found with android devices is the lack of willing to update the o/s. So, many cheapies will come with an o/s and probably will never get updates. Some phone makers like Samsung are terrible and treat 6 month old 400+ quid phones as old. So don't buy Samsung as the chances are they will stay put and never updated. That's one thing, despite the hate of apple, I will give them, My ipad 2 got ios6 and updates. Might be more control I know but updates none the less. Anyway, might be best to do some reading to find out who actually keeps up to date with older machine and supports them. Al -----Original Message----- I was just browsing around on Amazon - and I see there is a BUNCH of different versions of their Tablets. At this point - since it would be more of a Toy - I was just considering the 7" ones. Is that the ones you sell? Some of them has what they call a "Capacitive Multi-Touch" - another is referred to as a "Internet Touchscreen Tablet - MID7012-4G", and still another model claims to be a "Resistive Touchscreen, Black MID7034-4". I'm not sure what the differences are. So - any further input would be much appreciated!
