Samsung Galaxy Tab or iPad?

[swindle]

Both are fairly useless, but it will take you longer to realise this with the iPad.

I have to add, you can use the eee pc's standing up. The 7" one easily, and the 10" one somewhat reasonable, if you have decent sized hands. That being said, its not as easy when sitting down. So i think bell summed it up well. If you want to stand up while you mobile compute, at the cost of processing power, and usability, get a tablet.

Also i must say the internet is really poorly set up still for touch screen browsing. So many sites, just aren't designed to browse them well, without a mouse/touchpad. I mean even this site, when I tried to visit it on my tablet, i found it terrible hard to use.

Software for complete tethered wireless DSLR shooting. Think of it as RDC to the DSLR, and being able to control every aspect of the camera. But until tehy put BT in the cameras its still a 'wish'.

As for cheap, I meant the software, $20, as opposed to $200-$5000 to run on a win/osx platform. (for a good piece of software)

I have read about people putting ipads in cars as instrument clusters also as a alternative to hugely expensive specialist solutions. Seems like both applications could be better with a tablet/touchsceen that had a proper USB host and a sd-card slot.

Getting one?

If I can source one w/ firesale prices, then yes.

I just made an order for one on Acquire.

Stock ran dry in 30 seconds.

I got an order confirmation but they also say "we will confirm by email if you got lucky".

[Tandoori]

Yeah I just did it as well.

Your order is currently being reviewed by our sales staff. We will contact you shortly if there are any issues regarding your order.

I'm bored so i'm 'tiwaking' this.

In 5 years we will all still be typing input with tactile keyboards not touch screens and so I'll still be using a laptop of some form.
I'll prob have a collection of e-books on some form of e-ink reader tho.

It hasn't been 5 years but its been 2 so where are we at now, what type of devices GetSome peeps currently using?
I have exceeded Past-Bell's expectations by ending up a with a fuckload of laptops and pretty much soley relying on a kindle for books.

Here is my inventory:
Galaxy Note
Kindle
17.3 inch gaming laptop.
10inch travel laptop.
14inch linux laptop for work
13inch macbook with broken keyboard that I picked up for nothing for some apple dev.

No desktop, no TV, no tablet.

I use my Nexus 4 + a desktop (for the past 2 weeks I have been away from my desktop and have been using my GF's laptop and my Nexus). I have a TV but it's for console and media sharing only, I don't have a TV reception, can't stand NZ broadcasting.

I'd love a phablet. I might replace my Nexus 4 with the Nexus 7 when they release a 4G/LTE version or pick up a Samsung Galaxy Mega when unlocked versions become available.

4.7" screen just isn't big enough considering I try to do a lot on it (read news, emails, videos etc.)

Sold my tablet.

Just found that I always preferred to sit at my uncomfortable desk and use the PC.

Wasn't worth having a $700 piece of kit sitting there to be used a couple of times a week.
