Ive been told that the price of these are going to fall Below £100 soon, they look rebustly built and ideal for on bike travel. Now, would it be possible to run mapsource onit. Thanks for any replies.

Not if it doesn't run windows. Sorry. It might have a native mapping /gps program like a blackberry, but it'll likely suck.

They are falling in price like a brick for a reason. Nobody is buying them because they are useless. Same as the HP fire sale on their tablet, loads bought them cheaply but don't use them because they are useless. Currently there are three viable tablet system. Android, Apple and Windows. Android tablets can be had for your £100 but the others can't. A £100 Android tablet will be pretty low powered and generally Chinese but they will run GPS software like Co-pilot and of course have the google maps app on them but you will need internet for google to work but not for Co-Pilot. If it has to be Mapsource probably because you have Garmin GPS then a windows tablet is your only choice but they don't come cheap because of the hardware required to run windows 7.

Thanks for all the replys. Typical PC world trying to push products regardless of what the customer requires. Now I know what I need, thanks Chaps.

Rather than looking at Windows tablets, take a look at Windows netbooks instead. There's quite a choice for around £250, they run pukka XP or Win7, have 150GB+ hard discs, plus USB ports, weigh less than 1.5kg and lots of people use them to run Mapsource
