Tablets

[UncleChris]

Asus is releasing the Transformer Prime tablet next week. It looks like it's going to sit on top the heap, and at $599 for the 64gb model, is quite a bit cheaper than the iPad or the Galaxy S2....

I'm looking very seriously at picking one up.....

Is there a new iPad version on the horizon anytime soon? I adore my iPhone 4, but wish I could have waited a month for the I4s. With an iPad as a non-essential purchase, I can wait for the next round, maybe.

I've heard really good things about the Prime.

Just know it's going to be tough to get right now. Many places have stopped pre-order due to overwhelming demand/low supply.

I would not put it past Apple to release the Ipad3 within the next few months. Afterall, the 2 has been out for like OMG almost a year and we cant have people owning anything for longer than that without upgrading can we!!! lol

The consensus of fanboy chatter on the internet is March 2012 for the Ipad3, so dont buy a 2! If you want a 2, wait till the 3 comes out, then the 2 will drop by atleast $100.

Freaking Apple... lol

btw, speaking of tablets, my initial reaction to kindle fire has legs: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/12/technology/personaltech/amazons-fire-some-say-may-become-the-edsel-of-tablets.html?hpw

I was so disappointed with it, because I truly love my kindle e-reader.

I love my Moto Xoom tablet.

I have gotten some tablets from these guys in China. Not going to be top of the line stuff. But you get better quality for lower end pricing.

I also have an HP touchpad which ROCKS!

I am now the proud owner of an Asus Transformer Prime 64gb tablet running 4.03 Ice Cream Sandwich. All I can say so far is,

"Sweet, weepin' gee-a-zuz, Margret!!!"

This things really rocks. Beautiful, bright display, HD videos without a bump, smooth swiping, and apps absolutely SCREAM they work so fast. Love that quad core processor!!!

I'll keep ya'll posted.

This will probably be the year I get one. I have to decide which one. The current rumor is the Apple is set to introduce two new IPAD models in Feb. When they actually hit market is something else.

All I can say is watching Netflix on my iPad2 is pretty awesome. Also, with iCloud, I have all kinds of cool stuff at my fingertips.

Best game for iPad2: Real Racing 2. Better than anything on my xBox.
