    So it's my birthday soon & I thought I might treat myself to a tablet. It'd be used mainly at home - for web browsing, maybe book reading, possibly a game or two - oh and for posting on CP of course. I know almost nothing about the tablet market and would be interested in any recommendations (or the opposite) Cheers, m'dears

                  From a philosphical point of view, in the years since the films, I've had serious problems figuring out if I wanted to or not. The reason? Well I blame cows. Or rather: I blame the clearly either extinct or practically extinct status of cows otuside of the Matrix. This means no steak and no burgers. You expend this out, there's very little bacon or fried chicken and as for fruit and veg, ha you should be so lucky. So I'donly take the red pill if it had enough cow flavour to last me the rest of my life.

                          Nah. All suggestions so far were for round or rectangular tablets, you would never know what edge is the top. Go for a triangular one, an isosceles triangle is best. Maybe harder to find, but much more practical in daily use. :)

                                To be honest, I've got no use for a tablet, but I was tempted to buy a dozen or so on my last trip to China. Try here[^], before forking out a fortune for something made in the same factories, but "vastly augmented" by stuffing it in a box with a western company's label.

                                  avoid stone tablets. current best practices limits their use to Commandments only.

                                    It depends on what you want. If you want the ooohhhh factor for impressing non-techie types, get an iPaid. If you want functionality at a reduced cost, get a Xoom. If, however, you want one that you can put into a jacket pocket and carry around in a useful manner, get the Galaxy Tab. I have a tab, I have loads of apps I am happy with it.

                                      So it's my birthday soon & I thought I might treat myself to a tablet. It'd be used mainly at home - for web browsing, maybe book reading, possibly a game or two - oh and for posting on CP of course. I know almost nothing about the tablet market and would be interested in any recommendations (or the opposite) Cheers, m'dears

                                      I've had an iPad for the better part of a year now. Does all the things you mention very well and has great battery life. The lack of Flash has only been a problem when I tried to online check-in for a flight last fall. The site used flash so I wound up checking in at the kiosk in the airport instead. I never used sites with Flash much before, though, so that helps. Cheers, Drew.

                                          I should have known better than to ask advice in the lounge I wouldn't mind if even one of your answers had been even slightly amusing - but no, you all took the obvious 'oohh - he said tablet - I'll post some drivel about pills - that'll up my reputaion points' route. :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: I'll stick to posting puns and info about my latest trip or model painting in future
