I've looked and looked and looked for their product outside of Australia with no luck, which is a shame really.  There is a Canadian arm of Amicroe, but they don't have the same products at all.  it would be nice if there was some service that buys the foreign product and sends it to you, like amazon but better.

Yeah those are the same as the one I bought, but in a range of colours!
I want a green one please

If they are the same, then it should work out of the pack.  First thing I did with mine was plug it into my phone and it detected it immediately.

will buy one post xmas, if the phone / netbook only reads 32gb max then i suppose i should only buy a 32gb ?? or would it read
 a 64gb ??

The jump from 32GB to 64GB changes the filesystem needed (32GB usually goes with standard FAT32 while the jump to 64GB uses exFAT) so I'd make sure your phone can read exFAT before purchasing them if you plan to solely use them with your phone.

after a quick shop around no it doesnt support exfat.
if i partitioned the memory stick would it just read as 2x32gb memory card ?
just ordered a 32gb stick, it'll do the job

HAve since learned that
ES file manager https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop&hl=en_GB
can allow your phone to view your shared files from your pc.

Easier than anything i have tried.
All i had to do was password pc, share folders

Tmobile has done away with contracts so, I'm thinking about upgrading to the nexus five from my galaxys3. Has anyone tried out the nexus? Or their thoughts about it.

go for the biggest memory as cannot expand.
Pricey for what you get but unsure how much where you are.
you can buy better for cheaper, but its a personnel choice.
I love android as it is so customizable .

I have this one http://digitalplayworld.co.uk/index.php/brand/iocean-x7-elite-5-fhd-screen-with-443ppi-2gb-ram-32gb-rom-1-5ghz-quad-core-mt6589tcpu-13mp-camera-android-4-2-smartphone.html
