Do You Have a Tablet Device? iPad, Galaxy Tab, etc…
Friday, May 27, 2011 by Island Dog | Discussion: WinCustomize News
Tablets are pretty hot right now. The iPad has dominated since release and caused a wave of other companies to try and put their foot into the game. It’s also rumored Microsoft is going to show off the Windows 8 tablet UI soon, so the tablet game is going to get even hotter in the next year or so.
Question for you is….do you have a Tablet device or plan to purchase one in the next year?

No, I don't plan to purchase one in the next year.

I'd love one. I have a Pandigital Novel Color Ereader that has WIFI. It acts pretty much as a tablet except that it has Android 2.0 on it. A bit slow and no flash.
I can check mail, play games, watch vids and listen to music. Oh, and read books. 9" resistive screen. Has a stylus.

I have a first generation iPad, and my wife has a Kindle. We both love them!

I have an iPad (First Gen.) I like it but would really like to try some of the others on the market.
Maybe somthing with an Android OS. Apple is such an A _ _ Hole!

Yes. An iPad 1G, and a Kindle 3 for backpacking into the mountains.

I have an iPad(1). As a big expensive iPod Touch, I found it's really only useful for traveling. Otherwise, you can't really run anything on it except flash-grade games and mini-applications.
I won't be buying another one until it can replace a laptop (re: a Windows 7 or 8 one). Then I can use it for all of the things a iPad is currently good for as well as all the things a laptop is great for.

If anyone would like to see what the newest (leaked) HP Touchpad looks like with webos, here's a link:

Looks nice... and multitasks.

I have an iPad 1 as well as a 5" Archos Android tablet. While the tablet isn't yet ready to replace the laptop, I think that the tablet/slate concept will do so eventually when they achieve the full functionality (printing, external device connections, etc) people need.

Nope, don't have one, and nope, don't plan on getting one -- I'm officially old. I'm done buying wants, and have a hardcore plan to start saving up the recommended 6 months of salary in savings and an emergency fund. Spending's been fun, but now it's time for me to settle down with what I have.

Not yet, waiting for more connectivity. Meantime I'm shopping for a "Gangbuster" Windows 7 laptop.

Waiting on a Windows 8 tablet with 3 or 4g conectivity.
Asus G73 for the price it is hard to touch!

not a tablet but probably a Kindle 3
The price of tablets is higher than the price of many laptops. I can't see paying more to get less.....
