The "on/off enigma" was fixed in the last firmware update, if you have just installed OS2008 then you shouldn't have any problems.

However, one thing you should not do with the tablets or any other portable computer is to switch it off. Switching off a computer and then switching it on again uses a LOT of battery life, because a computer's startup process is so complicated and uses the processor so much.

The battery will last much longer if you just leave the tablet switched on all the time. I know it sounds crazy but it's true, try it for yourself, it can be left switched on for many days.

There's a tutorial about saving battery life on the tablets here:

I have to say I'm pretty shocked by that, you wouldn't even TRY to return an item? Even one that costs hundreds?

Maybe things are different here in Europe, but I've never had problems returning a defective item to a retailer or manufacturer. There's usually no postage either, because it's almost always done through a shop or repair centre.

It's the same for low-value items like CDs, I've never had problems if I take back a CD to a music shop, usually they don't even bother to check if it is defective.
