Its really just across the board. You seem to prefer the android to the apple, and so its really just a battle of opinions. In my experience, most of the apps from productivity, to 'shopping', to... eh its really just apps across the board. I'm not saying there aren't really great apps on the market, I've used them myself and agree they are better than apple. I just think in general, apple has a better selection as well as quality. Ask yourself if you're going to be messing around with custom roms and whether you have the money to spend. To me it looks like an iPad would be better suited to your needs as there are some things, like the music app, that will only worsen your experience of the product if you don't like it to begin with. but can I tether an ipad with my android phone? And I'm not getting the 3g version of the ipad because its a lot more money, as well as a monthly service contract. I am aware the nook/kindle are just apps that can be on all of them. Heh. Honestly I won't really be messing around with custom roms and the like, or messing with my tablet's core designs, I just like... the ability to if I wanted to/found a good reason to. I would agree overpriced, and thats what I mean by gimmicky. However I did spend the night reading up on rumors of the ipad3, and obviously being rumors most probably aren't true... But if the Ipad3 -can- have the A6 chip, retina display and a better camera? Then I'm waiting until March. Also, if it turns out the ipad 3 isn't that revolutionary, then I can get the Ipad2, which should have just fallen a bunch in price. Thanks for the help guys, I appreciate all responses.

As the apps, I really don't see the Android providing much good in this category at all, so it will stay a con.

I am sick of [bleep]ing ghetto pregnant girls. I have like... 5 in my life right now. I feel like donating to an abortion clinic.

Hey guys! I guess this is the right place to post about my search for a tablet. I currently am on the lookout for a tablet, particularly for recreational purposes, but I also started my own business from home, and I've seen all my mom can do on hers (she has the Asus Transformer), and I'd love to get my hands on one, this way I can do presentations etc., without having to lug my laptop around -everywhere-. I have also looked into getting an e-reader, such as a nook, since December of last year, but have since held off. So I started out by reading all the reviews from all the major review sites (Cnet etc) including just fan sites. Practically every single site states the Ipad2 blows the rest out of the water, except for in a few categories like no flash, and crappy web browsing that don't do too well. I really don't care if its a flashy tablet or not, I really want one though that won't slow me down, is smooth and easy to access, and most importantly can handle large loads of work at once. I am stuck however, inbetween the Ipad2, the Asus Transformer, and the Samsung 10.1 tablet (I forget its exact name, to be frank). Pros and cons: Ipad 2: Pros -Very large screen -Many apps for the more fun side, I love Itune apps. Not just games of course, but all the other kind. With an Ipad I can download recipe apps and voila, a cookbook basically. -Very streamline and smooth -high ratings from critics on various things, lol. - Kindle, Nook, iBooks - Itunes music. I have an ipod touch now (3rd gen) but its starting to go frankly. I was going to buy a new one, but I think if I get an ipad, and make this ipod simply a work out ipod, that would work great. - Lots of available accesories (docks, etc.) Cons: -Wifi only. -Closed in OS. Not as open ended as android -Expensive -Can be kind of gimicky, more likely to be stolen type thing -I don't want to buy this Ipad, just to have the Ipad3 come out in 2 months kind of situation Android tabs (Asus/Samsung) Pros: -Tether capability (my phone -can- tether) -Open ended OS, more things to do, not as formulaic -Much much cheaper, in most cases -Web browsing -Flash -Nook/Kindle Cons: - I do not like their music apps at all, will divide up my music - Bad apps in general - Not as widespread accessories (docks, etc) - Apps won't be as stable or as useful (from personal experience). -No iBooks (not that big of a deal obviouslt) I am a very heavy App user. So the apps are very important to me, and I need them to be... Not crap. Android Market has some really great apps, but a lot of them are just crap. Some people don't want to say that, but they are. I also want to get things to go along with the tablet, such as the cover for the ipad that puts it to sleep when you cover it, and can be doubled as stand, crap like that is important to me. (To be fair the Asus Transformer does have the dock and keyboard). I really do love Itunes for its music, because it has almost every song I've ever wanted, and its selection surpasses amazon and anything android can offer. Since I'm planning on getting a new ipod, this could be the new ipod, I can plug it in everywhere and its good. Of course it can get pretty awkward listening to it in some circumstances I can imagine, it won't make that big of a deal. The main hold up is the price that's preventing me to just jump right on the Ipad train. It's $600. and that's for wifi only, no tethering allowed :(. If the Asus is $400, is that $200 a big difference? I understand the choice is still mine, and these pro/con lists aren't much to go on, I'm more looking for advice/experience from current tablet owners, or at least those knowledgeable. ---------------------- On a totally different note, but I didn't want to create a new topic solely for this, my ipod is jacked up. It is slowly breaking down more and more and more. (3rd gen) out of nowhere, the back button in the music player no longer works. When I press on it the lighting changes like I pressed on it, but it doesn't go to the menu before it. The only way I can change albums is by holding the ipod sideways and waiting for albums to appear that way. Also the power/sleep button doesn't work, the volume buttons don't work, its incredibly sluggish, (still has 14gb free space), it skips more often than not. Can I safely repair this myself? Anyone know of cool sites that show you how to do that? And if I have to take it in (no warranty), are those places usually a scam? I definitely do not want to pay more than $60, $80 max. Thanks for you time!

fml no nvm it was made in japan

I BELIEVE ALL OF IT -- ITS VERY CREDIBLE A++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ who cares. I do need a new ipod though...

i love his music :| consistency is void if anything in life.

too much real life in my life

yeppp

grats!

But blocking off -small- businesses won't stop corporate greed, that's whats so infuriating. Small business owners who are suffering like them, can't get business because people aren't going to their stores due to a riot outside.

You realize OP, probably half of the forumers here A) Don't get a paycheck B) don't even buy groceries. That said, coupons are extremely fickle. Gotta watch your back or you'll waste money on them. I guess the best kind of 'extreme' coupon to use is the 5 finger discount. EDIT: I am also scared for many people's credit scores here. Albeit I'm sure Europe probably has a different system than america

Delicious. Those are one of 9 meals I can make off of the top of my head. Although tomorrow I'm try making this: http://www.livingwithout.com/recipes/gluten_dairy_free_presto_pizza_crust-2652-1.html HOMEMADE PIZZA IZ DA BEST

Those are fighting words. I hate the occupiers. -and- I've 'researched' them plenty. What a load of crap.

sometimes i pick people up for love and then kill them and keep them in my freezer. but only sometimes.

Yea but I read the guidelines for DGS. Super stinking srs. T7 rings and all, and proof of them. I mean, I can certainly understand, and appreciate that, but stilll.... damn sons

i blame it on the non-partisan congress

wtf

Thanks for all the responses guys! I appreciate it! And I decided against buying floors, and instead bought 90 Farming. Because I enjoy DG'ing so I don't want to throw away money like that. Also spending 2m for 50k xp sounds utterly ridiculous. I mean... That's extortion. But yeah so I bought a bunch of palms/yews and I'm just farming those while I wait for people to populate into EOE. I do have interests of getting 99 DG AND 120 DG, I just also want 99 Slayer quite badly, so I'm going for 85-90 DG and then I'll get 99 Slayer and then maybe skill other skills a bit.

you are pro

honestly though, I have 50m lying around, I just might try that out.

i called the obtometrist
