No. With some you have to have an adapter to read its memory card via
USB. Seems quicker anyway than using the camera directly which I only do
with the SDHC card removed in order to read internal memory.

RAW is an issue on any platform! For Video I tend to use alternatives to
RISC OS because of its deficiencies on Iyonix. Even the files it will
play are too slow, too small, or too coarse.

If you want to be able to edit movies too, RISC OS is not really an
option. (But, is anyone interested in a Risc PC with Videodesk but a dead
PSU?)

I did not know that. Thanks. Will investigate.

Mmm. Because of the way GMail and your contacts database is integrated
across all browsers I use the tablet's native email app only for tablet
specific stuff but it was Very Easy to set up with a new POP account.
Fortunately, I can have as many mailboxes as I want and wouldn't want to
download POP email with two devices!

Always a good idea to buy stuff online or by mail order within the UK and
return it for a full legal refund within seven days without having to
give a reason. Pay by credit card so that you can fall back on section 76
of the Consumer Credit Act if the seller doesn't know the distance
selling regulations.
