I want to buy this Amazon.com: Toshiba 10.1-inch Android Tablet: Computer & Accessories I have tested the ipad I/II the speed diff is not much, the graphics are just a bit better and the weight/thickness mean nothing to me.

no USB, HDMI

can't play .AVI files


the toshiba tab will do just fine but no one knows when available or for how much.

I've had experience with about 5 different tablets in the past, and none are a computer replacement. Having to type on the screen and such is a huge turn off. If I want to just check and see what's playing at the movies, or look at the local news, the tablet is fine. But for a forum site, such as this one, I put the tablet down and go for my laptop every time. I'm not a tablet fan, I've used them at work, cannot justify the spend for one at home.

I have an Android & Windows7 pad - Viewsonic » ViewPad 10 and an iPad2, the Ipad2 is much nicer to use - it's a lot lighter (makes a big difference after a using for a while) and the OS is far better suited to the pad than the OS's I've tested on the viewpad (Win7, Android 1.6 & 2.2).

But at the end of the day, it's just a pad toy and for real computing I use a lap or desktop.
