Yeah.
I just did a test with the proper charger using an app that is heavy on the cpu and with the screen on, for more than half an hour, and the amount of charge went up not down.
Yes
It needs a 2amp charger. 1amp is too slow.
You can get a 2amp charger off amazon marketplace for about a fiver with a 2m cable so you can use it plugged in. But it must be 2amp!

considering how well these are selling in the run up to christmas, what are the chances of getting anything off one in the new year sales? i'm not especially hopeful, but we're giving our ipad2 away and we both want to keep a tablet now we're used to having one around

i've never been a huge fan of it, too heavy for my liking, after 20 mins i've had enough. we've decided to give it to my stepson for christmas, i'm pretty sure i'd rather have the nexus 7 and if i don't like it more than the ipad i'm not all that bothered
If you can afford it and don't mind downsizing the screen (which does have advantages and disadvantages) then buy one now. They're a very capable machine and you won't be disappointed with it. Although y it might take a little getting used to 
I'd be very surprised if there's a significant price drop after new year.

So I got bored last night, rooted my Nexus 7 and setup the six axis controller app for wireless controller goodness.
Turns out that Dead Trigger and Nova 3 go from being ho-hum to downright excellent when you've got a proper controller. Go figure.

you can use the PS3 controller to play Dead Trigger, asphalt 7 and riptide gp without rooting or installing the six axis controller app

Yup, but:
a) I was bored
b) I wanted wireless
c) I wanted to play Nova 3 as well
Otherwise, just a USB otg cable and you're good to go for Dead Trigger.

I use the OTG cable. So u can use the PS3 controller wirelessly? How is this possible?

Here you go:
Other advantage of sixaxis app is it lets you map for games that don't work with a gamepad by default, such as Nova 3.

Possibly, yes. I bought a generic main-USB plug thing and it was good for the Kindle and my MP3 player, but did nowt for the Nexus. On checking the ratings it was something like 40ma rather than the 200-ma or whatever the one that came with the tablet chucks out. That also explains why the tablet gets no charge if I plug it into my USB hub I reckon.
Dug out the N7 cable which seems to work fine with any USB plug in stick it in
Cheers
This is whatcha want:

Fact Me Till I Fart
My N7 isn't charging properly, which makes me suspicious as @Badgers said something similar.
Only started last night. Sods law.
Eh? Why would you buy a a car to tow another?

She's not really one for games. I've set up her facebook account, email. Asos.com and flipboard with a load of her interests. I've also put some books she'd like and vids on there. We'll see....
She's still using the fucking ipod for all this right now
