    Website displayed as wallpaper. Need an app or a way to do it.

    If I understand correct, from a PC with website displayed, 'print screen' ,open Photoshop or similar and 'paste' then tf jpg to Gallery of tablet and amend settings/display/wallpaper. HTH. Dave

    Should Hyperlink on google spreadsheet function on android tablet?

    Google spreadsheets allow hyperlinks to be placed within cells, such as explained here: How to Make a Hyperlink Work in Google Spreadsheets | eHow.com This works fine with my pc, where clicking cell offers prompt to click to go to hyperlinked page. When same document is viewed via my Nexus 7...

    Questions re Asus Google Nexus 7 from prospective newby

    After trying several wifi hotspots today, then calling google it seems my brand new 1 day old N7 is knackered. It wouldn't respond to the 'factory reset' 3 button press, so I've now returned it to a local argos - but there is no SIM version to replace it in any store it seems, so (after refund)...

    Can you reccomend a strong case for Nexus 7 (Sport / Skiing)

    Fair question Slender Troll, and I agree with sentiment, but; i) I gather the gps works if you download map beforehand, so will be handy as I'm going to Milky Way (France/Italy border), quite a big area. ii) Hotel is out of town, with no wi-fi, so easier to check for messages etc on way back in...

    Can you reccomend a strong case for Nexus 7 (Sport / Skiing)

    Despte my awesome skills I may fall over while skiing soon. I will be taking my N7 and have seen threads referencing cracked screens, so thought I'd better get some protection for it. I could just get 2 plates of metal, but wondered if there was something pre-made. I'm thinking it needs to be...

    Questions re Asus Google Nexus 7 from prospective newby

    It seems the 3G model is in short supply. Today I had to drive for 1 hour to one of the last argos stores that have them. I was told the 30 day return doesn't apply on this (but read on a web review that that is a good reason for buying this from argos). If it doesn't work though.. that's...

    Questions re Asus Google Nexus 7 from prospective newby

    Thank-you fo your feedback Diknak. 1) I will bear in mind but I am generally averse to paying for software more than once (having paid to use it on pc), but don't doubt what you say is true - so noted. 2) I have dropbox already as a place for sharing files with third parties. I prefer to have...

    Questions re Asus Google Nexus 7 from prospective newby

    Thank-you Wunderbar and Unicorn rancher - comments noted on not for intensive use. In my case it would be more of a stop gap when away from home/office. When every last one of the cats are herded into town, I hate to think what happens next. :-(

    Nexus 7 will not update OS

    Thank-you for pointer where you bought it. I'm not familiar with BuyMyTronics, but it looks like pre-owned gear. Is yours new? Even if it's a shop demo, it may be hacked/booted etc and perhaps the reason for sale? I've yet to buy mine, so don't understand why you are going for incremental update...

    Questions re Asus Google Nexus 7 from prospective newby

    Thank-you Bigtroutz for your swift reply. Fully understood. I wasted alot of time yesterday between a google spread sheet and excel version of same document (e.g. builtin functions work different - or not at all) so wish to avoid this headache if possible. 'Herding cats' isn't something I've...

    Questions re Asus Google Nexus 7 from prospective newby

    Thank-you for your comprehensive replies Unicorn Rancher, Still1 and Bigtroutz. Unicorn Rancher and Bigtroutz: Is Kingsoft used here as an interface to the xls docs or are you saying the spreadsheets would need to be copied over to a Kingsoft version of a spreadsheet? I like excel (as .xls) and...

    Questions re Asus Google Nexus 7 from prospective newby

    I'm planning on buying the Asus Google Nexus 7 tablet - probably the version with 3g SIM card slot.. It will be my first tablet, so I've read loads online and have a few questions please. 1) Can I load a microsoft excel spreadsheet onto it, edit it and save it. That's a ".xls" file, rather than...
