| 1358250 | 2013-10-31 19:53:00 | Yes choice is a good thing :), although with several models of iPad available and numerous models of fully customisable Android tablets, all of which cater for various forms of additional storage, one would figure there was a fair amount of choice already available on the market..? As for productivity apps, although I don't own or use an Android tablet I'm pretty sure that users of them have no problems with being productive :) The iPad has its own set of productivity apps as well. As for upgrading your device annually, I have a feeling that irrespective of which one we own, we will be "encouraged" to go out and buy the next improved version of it in 12 months time.. ;) Cheers :) |

| 1358252 | 2013-11-01 03:13:00 | Well of course not they don't and if you look at most teens and twenty somethings today, they will often buy the newer cooler model as soon as it comes out just so that they can be the coolest kid on the block for 5 mins :) | Webdevguy (17166) | ||
| 1358253 | 2013-11-01 05:39:00 | Not quite. For me it's about having disposable income and wanting something better, a fancier camera for example is what I'm hanging out for on a phone. Also, Transformer Tablet, had all that he mentioned like USB, SD Card support, keyboard, mouse, bluetooth support, printing, browsing network shares, multitasking etc.... that came out what? 2+ years ago? Where's this "toy OS" you speak of? Then the Transformer Pad Infinity also had a higher than Full-HD screen if that's your thing. The "choice" has always been there, it's literally just "one more" in the market of dozens that'll fill that criteria. |

| 1358255 | 2013-11-01 23:18:00 | Just in case no one here is aware: Nathan Mercer, Technical Specialist, Microsoft NZ (www.microsoft.com) Thanks for that ;) That would also explain some of the comments he made regarding certain productivity apps on the Windows tablet where it "sounded like" the Windows tablet was the ONLY tablet that allowed the user to be productive... hmm not so much... |

Yep Nathan works for Microsoft, but at least His comments are actual facts, not like some who only go by reviews, or have never actually handled what ever the software is , only read about it or has a mate who knows all and are suddenly experts. ;) | wainuitech (129) | ||

Anything after that is purely optional. :) |

I'd also point out I use an iPad, various Android Tablets and a Surface every day and I know which one I am able to be most productive on. Now sure I'm coming at it from a business point of view with my Surface - multitasking, side by side apps, a file system to copy files, the best remote desktop client, VPN support, a proper web browser than can use Flash if I need to, a USB port that supports a wide range of peripherals incl printers, a command line for when you need it, multi monitor etc We all have our own definitions of productivity. Its easy to create a Tablet for amusing yourself with, watching videos, playing Angrybirds etc. I think its another story having a Tablet that actually crosses across being both a consumption and creation device and lets you do real work.... YMMV |
