    You can always draw penises/tornadoes all over it when bored...

    I'm using my nexus 7 now, and its awesome. Faster than Forest Bump on speed! The gf bought me it for Xmas and I haven't got off it since.
    The fire isn't too bad but I find its UI a bit boring/simple. Still a capable tablet though.

    Wrong!
    • Blocking out the sun
    • Chastising fellow students violently
    • Hiding involuntary erections
    • Secret noughts & crosses on the reverse (to be erased before handing in to teacher)
    • Coin/tooth pressings
    • Choice of all languages that have ever existed
    • ...and many more uses besides!

    You'll need to scroll down until you get to Flash Player for Android 4.0 archives, then download the first one in the list and sideload it onto the tablet.
    Be prepared for it to not work very well.

    Cheers guys! Knew you would be excellent help as always! I looked at the nexus 10 but is slightly out of my price range really plus the nexus 7 does all the same really!

    Is the wifi only version ok? I'm always at uni or home so pretty much have WiFi all the time including tethering from my phone. Pretty much answered my own question I guess! Haha

    I find it is OK for what I need it for flash wise. Harlequin if you run into any issues or queries aside from flash drop me a pm. I picked one up too and I'm finding it amazing and yes I've used the nexus too.

    Sorry to derail the thread.

    Personally I find wifi only to be fine, most places offer free wifi or I know the wifi where I am, family, work etc. Else I have my phone.
    Only you can answer if you need 3g, if your budget stretches to it and you have a need for it, get 3g, otherwise it is more outlay and more monthly expense for little use.

    Just my 2cents but should you have an issue with the limited capacity of your tablet like i have with mine(iPad4) there are vairous soloutions around that.

    The nexus7 does have a 3rd party cable option that can link to external storage like flash drive etc....but its cabled and ugly.

    Another option I have personally looked at are the reletavly new devices that are wireless harddrives. Something like the Seagate GoFlex satellite or Kingston Wi-drive

    One of the best options is called Airstash, where it looks like a card reader and uses SD cards as the storage. its got excelent reviews and SD cards are dirt cheap now.
