oldwomanc6 60 #3 December 30, 2011 Hey, Squeak, I'm a Mac, But that being said, I just bought my daughter a Kindle Fire for Christmas. She likes it, except for the fact there is no internet connectivity if you don't have wireless available. She watches movies, surfs, banks, reads, etc... One week in, she seems to be happy. Amazon support is very good BTW. lisa lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vskydiver 0 #7 December 30, 2011 If you look at all the reviews out, you'll notice that one stands WAY above the rest. Although the Prime is on back order at the moment I believe the next batch should be released next week. I'll let you know how awesome and amazing it is when it arrives. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIK51LRLud4 Before this one came out, I'd have to say Iconia was the best. I almost got that one.

dragon2 2 #11 December 30, 2011 If you want a netbook replacement with fixed keyboard, get the brand new Asus Transformer Prime with dock. I have the previous model Transformer + dock, and I absolutely love it. I also have the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (thanx boss These 2 are IMO the top Android tablets choices right now. Acer has more expandable tablets but they look (and are) a bit cheaper. The 10" A500series would be my budget favorite. The 7"A100 is nice for on the road and the cheapest good 7"tablet. Acer will come out with a new A700 tablet that is supposedly very good. If you have a blackberry phone, the playbook is being dumped cheap now so you might want to look into that. If you're set on windows, you'll have to wait a few months for win8 tablets to come out. ciel bleu, Saskia Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BIGUN 1,423 #13 December 30, 2011 I got the Motorola Xoom Tablet http://www.store.motorola.com/MOTOROLA-XOOM-trade-with-Wi-Fi/dp/B0045FM6SU?ie=UTF8&id=MOTOROLA%20XOOM%20trade%20with%20Wi-Fi&field_product_site_launch_date_utc=-1y&field_availability=-1&field_browse=2952940011&searchSize=12&searchNodeID=2952940011&searchPage=1&refinementHistory=brandtextbin%2Csubjectbin%2Ccolor_map%2Cprice%2Csize_name&searchRank=salesrank 32 with an AT&T wi-fi 5 connect hotspot. Plenty of peripheral devices... http://www.store.motorola.com/Cyber-Deals-Mobile-Devices/b/3427118011?utm_source=search&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Accessories_Holiday_Campaign_28Nov-4Dec_2011 Quite frankly, while doing my homework, I don't think there's much difference between the Xoom and the Galaxy. The battery life is longer than they advertise. I'm getting a good 20-24 hours between charges. IMO, the tablets are not that unlike the Laptops/PCS of five years ago .... each with the same internal components and the only variance among manufacturers being that of size, style and feel. Basically, put the Chevy 350 engine in a variety of body styles (Pickups to Impalas).. in the end, you've still got a Chevy 350. No matter which way you go...

slotperfect 7 #15 December 30, 2011 I did a lot of homework on tablets. I wanted an Android device since I have an Android phone and I love Google stuff. I waited until the 4G LTE version was available and I'm currently using it through Verizon. I am very happy with it . . . the only issue I have had so far is that it will not download a system update, but I think it's because the update is for pay-as-you-go customers and I am on a contract. My only disappointment has nothing to do with the tablet itself . . . Android tablet version of Google Earth doesn't include the line drawing tool, which I use all the time. All in all, given the choice, I would buy the same one again. That being said, Motorola's next tablet, the XYBoard, has already replaced the Xoom. It is available in 10.1 and 8.2 screen sizes. http://www.motorola.com/Consumers/US-EN/Consumer-Product-and-Services/Tablets/DROID-XYBOARD-by-10-1-MOTOROLA-US-ENArrive Safely John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BrokenR1 0 #21 December 30, 2011 I had looked at the iPad and it really turned me off to tablets. I happened on that HP Touchpad firesale and figured for $99 it couldn't hurt otherwise I'd still be tabletless. I'd like to try one of those Windows ones when they come out and have heard great things about the Transformer as well. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Rap is to music what etch-a-sketch is to art.
