Thinking about our next holiday - as many TVs now have USB Sockets
will it be safe to charge my Samsung Tablet using the TV set (I know
it has a USB Socket) - or do you suggest I play safe and take the
charger?

So you're going to sit on the beach and play with your tablet?
Sad bugger.



Definately not - use it for the GPS when I go for a drive to explore -
and
to read restaurant reviews - also to check my bank account to ensure no
dodgy transactions.


I have found my phone useful to look up web sites for information on
places I come across unexpectedly and know nothing about.

Actually found my Nexus 7 useful to find and book a hotel room when,
having driven a long way on a day trip, we decided to go the extra mile
and stay away for the weekend.

(Just a huge shame that the site we used absolutely would not work on an
Android browser, so partner got her Macbook air out, tethered to my
phone, and that did work.)
