Yes it had Skype on it, I remember that now.
It also used Andriod v4 "Ice Cream Sandwich" for the OS.

I am also very tempted. The price is sensible as well. and R-Comp do
ensure you get the cables etc.

Not sure about being up to iPad standard (certainly not the latest one
anyway), but it was pretty good.
Battery life seems pretty good as well, it was on from about 9am on
show day and had 30% left at 4 pm when I was playing with it just
before the show finished.
Re the GPS point, when I tried Google maps it opened at the current
location of where we were. so seems to have someway of working the
location out.
