I am buying a tablet in Jan as I am hoping that I will get them a bit cheaper than normal as I am a nit.
I only really want it for the following reasons
1) Everybody else has them and I wanna look cool
2) To look at the internet and check email when out and about
3) Play online poker
4) Anything else I have not figured out I can do with it yet
Ipads seem to be the in thing so I was going to get one of those but I was playing with my mates Galaxy yesterday and quite liked it, they seem much cheaper too?
What tablets would people on here recommend? Should I just get an ipad?

Glucosamine Sulphate and Omega 3 Fish oil, saying that Boshi will state there is no scientific evidence to support the ingesting of these tablets but I am a fan, maybe it is placebo or may be it is elastica.

My iPad is by some distance the best gadget I have ever bought. Considering the amount I use it its also the best value one too.

I have a very light small notebook PC which I'm happy using at home. Since I got the Galaxy SIII I'm finding the tablet I have pretty much redundant. There just aren't many 'on the go' scenarios where my phone isn't a lot more convenient than a tablet. Could be just personal but imagine a lot of people find their tablet a nice extra gadget that doesn't get used much.
I kinda had to have one but, with hindsight, I wouldn't have bothered

...
neatly encapsulating the whole of Apple's marketing strategy I think all the tablets do all you want so it's probably a question of which one looks the nicest which is on a good deal isn't it? EDIT: just read Nirvana's post, that's basically why I don't have a tablet - everything I'd do on a tablet I already do on my phone, but the above applies if you still want one anyway |

Have to agree with Andrew here. Use it endlessly, & can never get over how user-friendly the interface is, it is actually a perfect delight to use. I'm sure a smarty phone does all the same cool stuff, but old fat fingers don't work so good with moby keyboards, whereas the I-Pad (or any Tablet I suppose) has a huge keyboard. An ideal gift, too. I'm a little dodgy with the clever things it does though. Last night, In Luton, I was introduced to something called "apps". Seem quite handy things. I can play the pianoforte on it too (via "Virtuoso") except I can't play the piano. |

Agreed, although I tend to use it mostly at home. |

... Yes, that's why I left my first point - if you do want a tablet they pretty much all do everything you need it for so you might as well just buy the prettiest/shiniest/snazziest/cheapest ... depending on what your own preference is. Although the Kindle Fire is primarily still an electronic book gadget, so that probably only becomes best if you mainly want to read books on your tablet. |

It is very good and If I didn't already have an iPad it would be on my shopping list instead of a Mini iPad. |
