Tablets

[kinboshi]

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?

Yes

If you've got an iphone and a Mac book then it'd make sense to get an ipad (as bobalike said). But if you've got an android phone it might make more sense to get an android tablet.

There's also the Windows tablet route as well...

I've got an android phone and an iPad, no big deal really.

Think it really depends what you are going to use it for but given you want to play poker on it something like a Kindle Fire is out.  I am generally with Woodsey.  Not even sure if I love the wife as much as I love my Ipad!!!

Hi Does anyone have any thoughts about the.

ASUS Google Nexus 7" Tablet - 32 GB

Seems to have good reviews for the price.

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.

Bought one for the missus for xmas. It's excellent.

Very happy I went for 2 of these for the kids. Things like the voice input just makes them speak clearly.

Pleased you have one to kinboshi make technical support a bit easier.

If you can think of anything that may be good for the Girls 10/7

1st tech Question. Sarah went to Newark PC world to collect. They dealt her on a Norton Security thing.

Would you use it?

Regards

Just bought a Nexus also.  I notice the Stars FPP store offer a Kaspersky one licence (will cover up to 5 smartphones/tablets etc) for approx a tenner's worth of fpps

a) is that good value
b) is it a good product/good idea given the kids will use it more than I do.

I do have an Android phone and I have been assuming that I can just connect an Ipad to the 3G wirelessly. Reading the spec on the Ipad looks like I should be able too. I assume this is the case.

Got my IPad in August. Was a little worried that it may be an expensive gimmick .

Not so. I use It everyday, several times a day and occasionally all day. So easy and convenient.

Does everybody find the battery life on the ipad ok?

Yes quite reasonable really. Turning the screen brightness down helps the battery. Also set the fetch new data in the mail settings to hourly and disable blue tooth if your are not using it.

I get two or three days of moderate use between charges.

i really want an ipad & i like the sound of the smaller one.
