My first tablet computer was an Archos 5 Internet Tablet 5 towards the end of 2009 which ran android 1.5 and also played a variety of media due to the Archos's extensive codec library. It was during the short time of me having this tablet that I could see the potential of having a hand held computer that was not windows based, could be instantly powered on, had a large screen and could take the place of laptop, desktop or even smart phone for my daily internet activities. This story was short lived when the Archos 5 decided to die on me, reset itself and lose all of my files and settings. This left a sour taste in my mouth if I could rely on this device when at any minute it could potentially do this again. In January 2010 I saw the Ipad, laughed like other people at Apple's arrogance that they just invented the world again but still thought that it would be an android based table that I would end up with. I purchased a cheap table from Hong Kong via Ebay for about £130
