So, I've got this itching to buy a tablet... but I want some valid reasons (excuses!) So I figured I would poll my fellow club members!

What kind of tablet do you have? (iOS/Android, etc)
What size screen?
What's your favorite app or thing to do with it?


oh, and lastly, anybody got any deals?

I have the Asus Trasfomer Tf-101 (I think) with the optional key pad and it is android. It is a 10 inch screen. I like mine.

I have a bunch of apps but favorites are games;Drag racing, Angry birds, Flick it(Golf), Reckless Racing, etc. Others apps would be Dolphin HD(browser) Weatherbug elite, Shazam, Google Music. I could go on and on.

I use it when J takes my laptop away. I also use it when I have gigs since it is smaller and more portable but the screen is still large enough that you aren't squinting. It is 720P resolution too and movies look good.

Asus has just come out with a new Transfomer that is twice as fast with a keyboard that has made mine less expensive, I got mine on black Friday, or if you just want fast go with it. Also, some time this month Asus is releasing the new OS Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS).

This tablet and the Samsung Galaxy S10.1 were the two that were both the highest rated, for Android based tablets, by a lot of websites last year; PCMagazine, Gizmodo, etc.

I won't get into the whole Apple vs. Android, that is a personal choice.

Hope this helps.

Acer Iconia 7" here (Android). The main reason I got it was for the car (always wanted a carputer and this is better for me than my Windows tablet). Bigger nav screen, big Torque gages/displays, and for general use. I also whipped up a nifty mount for it that hangs down from the rear-view mirror stalk.

BTW Tony, can you send me a link to the OBDII transponder for that Torque program.

Yeah, the Torque app would be nice on the android.

I saw a neato fridge mount for the ipad though, would help make it more versatile

I love my android phone, and cost wise, unless the ipad2 drops to the rumored 299 price point when the ipad 3 is released, the ipad is probably out of my price range, but we'll see

I've held a few 7" tablets, and they seem just a bit too small, but haven't used one long enough to have a really good idea, but seems that the sweet spot, between 7 and 10 doesnt have a lot of players right now

X2 on the Asus Transformer TF101. I just bought mine about a month ago and really like it. I was going to pop for the TF201 or Prime in order to go with the latest and greatest, but read that they were haviing a lot of problems with the metal case knocking out the wifi and gps.

One thing that you don't expect from a tablet and surely don't buy one for, but the camera takes (5.0) takes decent pictures.

I also bought the keyboard and stuck a 16G SD card in it.
