G'day all

Still available.

Forgot to mention that it also has Bluetooth, Compass, Accelerometer, Camera, Micro USB V2.0 built in.

Screen is a 7", handy size and nice for easy carry (especially in the field).

1gb (512 RAM + 513 ROM) with mini SD card support up to 32gb with the ability to store and run apps from the SD card.

Possible uses:

- Telescope control in the field through either Bluetooth or Wifi, with an appropriate app

- Planetarium software utilising the internal accelerometer and GPS for guidance (i.e. point and identify etc)

- Car Phone (yes it is a phone as well as a tablet) and/or GPS system (possibly cheap enough that you could leave it in the car)

- Internet on the go just put in your pre-paid or plan SIM card

- Video or Music Player

- Ebook/PDF reader (handy for carrying lots of information in the field when observing away from home)

So many possibilities for the price!

Cheers
