Thanks for your feedback. It would be nice to get Skype to work, but it is not a hugely important thing. This is our first tablet so some understandable niggles, I suppose early on. I must admit I was hoping that battery life would be a little better. It seems to go down very quick.
One other question: We set up email OK on it, but when we switch the device on again, old emails have disappeared. Any ideas as to what causes this?
