I can vouch for how great Georgie is. I just love it. It keeps Android users not makes them want to fly to IPhone. I just love Georgie. It's time someone give Android users a choice in speech package.

If you download the iBlink Radio app! All the podcasts relating to tech will be on there and it includes the Android show as the Serotek company do the podcasts themselves and the Iblink Radio app is developed from them as well.

I tend to learn by trial and error and the odd video on youtube. The only difference between the nexus 7and a typical android phone is that you can't, of course, make calls or send text messages. However the screen is bigger and therefore less cluttered but still not too big to explore by touch. There is only access to the internet through wifi but that's fine for me. Also the storage isn't to impressive as there is no sd card, however that seems to be easily fixed with nexus media importer which allows you to connect a flash drive. I've used this for music and films without any hassle. Would I buy one again? Well I'm looking forward to the new version so I can get one for my wife too. > > Ah, just remembered there's a really good podcast called that android show, they did a whole podcast on the nexus 7 so that should really help.
