Whilst we don't condone second-guessing what Santa may bring, or sneaking a peak at the gifts under your tree, we do predict that, come Christmas morning, many more Wrexham and Flintshire residents will be the (delete as appropriate) proud / petrified / perturbed owners of a shiny new tablet computer.

We've searched the internet to find two of the best articles offering hints and tips for new tablet users:

Gizmo's Freeware 'The Best Android Tips and Tricks' page from November 2013 provides a concise overview of the Android operating system and an index allowing you to easily locate the help and advice you need.

Digital Unite's 'Guide to Tablet computers' provides information written in plain English for those encountering iPads for the first time.  Overviews of the Kindle Fire and the Samsung Galaxy Tab can be found here too.

So, whether you're a new tablet owner, or know someone who is, we hope you find these useful.

Come the New Year, the 'Get online Wrexham Flintshire' team will continue to offer FREE, informal 'Absolute Beginners' courses to people with little or no experience of computers and the internet.  If you're reading this, you may not fall into this category, however, if you know someone who does, please encourage them to get in touch, and help us in our mission to ensure more local people benefit from the internet, as both citizens and consumers.
