Just curious about what you guys think about the somewhat new trend in the electronic world and which, if any of the tablets now or in the present you would own.
Personally, I'm waiting for the Motorola Xoom. It comes with a dual core processor, two cameras, and Android's new Honeycomb OS.

I like Android, but imo, nothing beats the iPad in terms of tablet. Everything "just works".

I don't think that is changing, especially with what the rumored iPad 2 is going to be offering.

^I was just reading about how Ipad will more than likely NOT lose its grip on the market. I guess there was some electronics convention not to long ago and many of the android based tablets were unfinished and unpolished.

^That could possibly be because Android 3.0 (Honeycomb) hasn't been completely finished yet but we'll see how it works when it comes out.

The iPad is pretty amazing. I've had it for about a week and can't put it down. Does everything I need to and surprisingly does it very well.

Just received my Asus Transformer. It's pretty amazing. I haven't purchased the attachable keyboard yet but I think I will as it adds about 7 hours of battery life to the already 9.5 hours it has. I'm really impressed with it.

Just got an iPad 2. Love it. Installed Apple TV and am streaming my music to my big AV system. Very nice.

^and eventually it'll be even faster/smoother as it will be upgraded to android 4.0 ice cream sandwich. I'm waiting (impatiently) for my Asus Transformer to be upgraded OTA.

so can you open active MS Word and Excel documents on your tablets? i'm interested in getting a tablet as opposed to a laptop but if i can't use it for Word or Excel or Adobe then that is a big issue

I have an Asus Transformer and it comes pre-loaded with Polaris office that lets you create and edit Microsoft word, Powerpoint, and Excel files. Also, because it's run by Google, you also have access to Google Docs.

My father has an Ipad and I have to mess with it once in awhile when he gets things mixed up.He's 79 and gets things mixed up when it comes to technology,those with parents that old understand.My family has 4 nook tablets and I know we all like the nook much better than than the ipad.Smaller,lighter and just as easy to navigate.

I guess I don't understand this post. Every Android tablet that is comparable to the iPad costs as much or more.
And the iPad is much more fluid and intuitive.

IDK how I didn't see this 3 months ago and reply, but the answer is no.
You can do some stuff with Apple's equivalent software, Pages and Numbers, which is awesome software, but is not Word/Excel.
Viewing isn't a problem, editing is.
The iPad definitely isn't a PC replacement.

U pay for most or all apps on an IPad while Android apps R open source code, cheap or free and easy to write apps if u have programming experience. Yes some Androids r higher cost, but u can expand memory with a card, add I/O ports. With an Ipad its WYSIWUG. You can't add any hardware and you pay the price for a IPAD with more memory a lot more.
Apple has always been overpriced on all of their products, beside using cheap labor from China and violating child labor laws. Apple is just a greedy company, if Microsoft (Bill Gates) wouldn't have save them years ago, the IPAD would only be an IWISH product. lol
