Android Tablets

Long Story short my fiancee wants an Ipad, I refuse to buy this device. I am an apple hater… so i cant. She wants to use this for basic internet searching, dicking around on facebook, and as an e reader. I know that lcd screens suck as e readers etc… but whatever.

I want a wifi only device, none of this data package shit. I want a one time fee and be done with it. (dell streak and samsung Galaxy are out).

I have seen the Archos 70 which looks pretty neat. I like the price point and since my fiancee isnt a huge nerd she wont care about he 256 ram, or the underclocked cpu. I like the idea of the 7inch screen too. Let me here your thoughts.
the Archos 101 looks better but doesnt have a release date and is a lil big in my opinion.

I want this to have hdmi out or mini hdmi out also.

p.s. I hate tablets, buying one is not going to be easy for me.

Get off your high-horse and buy your fiancee what she wants, not what you want.

end of story

ps. The iPad blows away all of the android tablets AT THE MOMENT. Round one is over, and apple won. Round two begins Jan6th at CES. Motorola is bringing big things to the table, and the iPad 2 is likely to drop in February. So IMO, you should wait until at least February to make a decision on ANY tablet PC (hint hint, valentines day).

I would really like to see this device have hdmi output. Ipad doesn’t fit this requirement.

4

you would? or she would?

I am an apple hater, my wife now owns an iPad. I love the fucking thing. I refuse to purchase or support any of the other products, but this one really did blow the competition out of the water. I have read several books on it, played tons of games and it is what i use at home to browse the internet as it is easier to sit in the living room than go to my office.

I will most likely be purchasing myself the ipad2 when it comes out.

My Brother has one. I hate it. But I think Tablets are just dumb… So maybe you are right maybe Ipad is the way to go. In that case I may just wait and do something else for xmas.

Now just isn’t the right time to buy a tablet. Much better products are coming early 2011.

OK cool this is the kind of advice I was looking for. Thank you.

i still dont understand what the big deal is about tablets they seem so pointless to me but ever since apple put one out they are everywhere now

^^ yea tablets suck

11

Super portable, instant on, amazing battery life, more applications than phones with a larger screen as well. There are a ton of benefits to them.

12

if you’re buying before next year then either get an ipad or just buy a netbook.

13

I really dont like the size of the ipad… i much rather have a 7 inch tablet if i were to have one.

14

The Galaxy Tab looks nice (I haven’t used it yet) but it’s too expensive. I am also an apple hater, and really don’t care for the iPad. I do however see myself getting a tablet down the road.

15

Galaxy is too expensive. Doesn’t it require a data plan with verizon, at&t or something also?

16

there is a wifi only model

17

o really!?! i need to find this.

Battery Life is terrible.

Most of those shitty android tablets don’t even have the ability to connect to the android market, which is easily the best part of the android experience.

I mean…who the fuck would want an android device without angry birds?
