Which Tablet?

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 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

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. :)

Go for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 or 10 inch if you can get it.

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.

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.

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.

Well, I've been seriously looking at this[^] tablet. It's been getting good reviews, and it seems pretty impressive - plus it's a lot cheaper than the Galaxy. I do know that I will be an MS fanboy next year and buy a tablet with Win8 installed, but I will do that via the company as we will be developing for it.
