Great little device

My wife was really please to find one under Christmas tree.
Tried to get 3G version but no chance...

32 GB model

You should update the section on the storage available.

There is as you know now a 32GB version but it's not even mentioned in the Update section.

It would also be useful with information on how to get the update of the OS. My 16GB version hasn't informed me of the upgrade in the way my iPad2 did for its OS upgrade.

Use of 32GB would have been clearer !

Sorry about the comment on you not mentioning the 32GB model.

I was looking in the upgrade section for "32GB" rather than the much less clear "and storage space has doubled since our original review" which I now see IS there.

Had mine since Christmas. Had to send it back early January as it was overheating and taking up to 20 mins to start (and to stop). Returned within a week and been OK since. Use it to read news,books and email and as a Satnav. Not good for google as if software is not free I won't use it. Better than my wife's Kindle as it is more versatile. I love it.
