 Wireless from AT&T The next Sudoko move is F6=9. Since B4 = 9 therefore B6 can't = 9. Since D3=9 D6 can't = 9.  
 Toshiba - Toshibadirect.com The next Sudoko move is F5 = 2. This is because every column needs to contain all numbers from 1 to 9. The only number missing in column F is 2.  
  The next Sudoko move is E5 = 8. This is because A4 = 8 therefore D4 and E4 can't be 8. D9 is 8 so D4 D5 and D6 can't be 8.  
  The next Sudoko move is E4 = 1. Once again each column needs to contain all numbers from one to nine. All numbers are already in column E except #1 therefore E4 = 1.  
  The next Sudoko move is G5 = 1. Column G needs to contain all numbers 1 through 9.

G2 can't be 1 since A2 = 1. G7 can't be 1 since D7 = 1. The only box left is G5.

 
  The next Sudoko move is I5 = 9.

The square is only missing a 5 and a 9.

H4 Can't be 9 since B4 = 9. Therefore I5 must be 9.

 
  The Center square is missing 4, 5 and 7.

The next Sudoko move is D5 = 5. D4 can't be 5 since H4 = 5 and D6 can't be 5 since A6 = 5.

 
  The next Sudoko move is D6 = 7. D4 can't = 7 since G4 = 7.  
  The next Sudoko move is D4 = 4. This is the last number left to complete the center square and the last number left to complete column D.  
  Row 5 is missing 4 and 7. The next Sudoko move is A5 = 7. C5 can't = 7 since C1 = 7.  
  The only square left on row 5 is C5. The next Sudoko move is C5 = 4 since that is the only number missing on Row 5.  
  The only square left on row 6 is B6. The next Sudoko move is B6 = 2 since that is the only number missing on Row 6.  
  The only square left on row 4 is C4. The next Sudoko move is C4 = 3 since that is the only number missing on Row 4.  
  In the square on the bottom right there are currently listed 1, 2, 3, and 4. Missing are 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9. The next Sudoko move is H8 = 8. G7 and I7 can't = 8 since C7 = 8. H9 and I9 can't equal 8 since D9 = 8.  
  The next Sudoko move is G7=9. H9 and I9 can't be 9 since E9 = 9. I7 can't be 9 since I5 = 9.  
  The next Sudoko move is I7 = 5. H9 and I9 can't = 5 since C9 = 5.  
  The next Sudoko move is I9 = 6. H9 can't = 6 since H6 = 6.  
  The next Sudoko move is H9 = 7. This is the last square remaining and the only number missing from 1 - 9.  
  The next Sudoko move is G2 = 5. Column G has only 1 square left and 5 is the only number missing therefore G2 = 5.  
  Row 7 has 2 numbers missing a 3 and a 6. The next Sudoko move is A7 = 6. B7 can't = 6 since B5 = 6.  
  Row 7 has only one number missing a 3. The next Sudoko move is B7 = 3.  
  Column C is missing 2 numbers, 2 and 9. The next Sudoko move is C3 = 2. C8 Can't = 2 since G8 = 2.  
  Column C has only one number left 9. The next Sudoko move is C8 = 9.  
  Row 3 has two number left to complete the row. They are 1 and 3. The next Sudoko move is H3 = 1. a 3 can't = 1 since A2 = 1.  
  Row 3 has only one number missing and that's a 3. The next Sudoko move is A3 = 3.  
  The next Sudoko move is H1 = 2. I1, I2 and H2 can't equal 2 since D2 = 2 and I4 = 2.  
  The next Sudoko move is I1 = 3. H2 and I2 can't = 3 since F2 = 3.
