Probably the one with enough space for all your stuff. ;P
Well, like I said, I'm going to be developing an app, so from that perspective, what would be right tablet?
If it's not broken, fix it until it is

Wait for the real surface tablet (the one with Win8). As for which tablet is the best, just look at what is sold, look at what applications are available on those tablets, and which one fits your target audience. Android is good for certain market, iPad for others, Kindle Fire for some other markets. ...

I was subtly poking fun at your typo actually. But really I have no idea, I know what I've heard things about various tablets but I have yet to buy one myself, personally I'd like the Surface Pro, but it's not out yet...and I kind of need it, since I'm about to lose my laptop.

Maybe this one: Samsung table[^] I've had the chance use a surface and was pretty impressed with it. My guess is everybody who wants one is holding out for the PRO version. I'll probably plunk down my cash on one of those once it's out.

It seems you had the same idea I had... :laugh:

How does a person know when they are about to lose an item? Couldn't he/she just not lose it, instead...? ;P

It always depends on your requirements. I have iPad and Google Nexus 7. Nexus 7 is my favorite well worth for the features. I may go with Kindle Fire HD too.

Well when I say "mine" I mean "belongs to the company I work for", and when I say "lose" I mean "I'm not using it for work, so they're giving it to someone else".
I assumed it was some sort of situation like that.

That's really up to you. If you want to sell to the iDevice market, then you should consider an iPad. If you want to develop for an emerging marketplace, then Microsoft might offer you a choice. If you want to develop for Android, I'd plump for the Nexus. The only concrete advice I would give is steer clear from the bargain basement tablets - you really do get what you pay for.

...and then what? Have a REAL Surface that still doesn't cut it?

Nexus 10 -- Google took the Samsung and had their design team apply changes to it. Beautiful piece of work that you can get a lot of mileage out of.

I (strongly) recommend the Google Nexus 10. It's highly performant, great value for money and will allow you to develop for Android which (IMHO) has an excellent ecosystem (free tools, doc, samples). In addition, I find the Android architecture to be very nice. I :love: my Nexus 7 - I pre-ordered it during Google I/O. /ravi

Then you will have a good idea of what Windows 8 can do on a real Microsoft approved(!) tablet.

My opinion, ASUS Transformer Infinity TF700T[^]. I have the one that came just before, the Transformer Prime. It's a great tablet, but has some GPS, WiFi issues that have been fixed in the TF700T. Plus, it has greater screen rez and is a better all around tablet than all the competitors.

other than being able to see what you are working with/on, I don't think it would be much different than the old cadd digitizer tablets were/are. somewhere down the line should be 'glasses' that would work with any pen and paper (or glove,etc.). What I know of the software industry is that anything worthwhile in the way of software gets bought out to be shutdown and what you end up with is the craap that had a bunch of money behind it. look back to go's penpoint software and icconex before sap bought them out... aka if it ain't broke break it...
