Tablet computers-but not Apple

[Bloody Jack Kidd]

Just because of this thread and deb *Ahem COUGH* Retiring from our chapter President Position We got her an Ipad Mini as a retirement gift. 

Now she can be an apple hater while also being an owner.   

awesome

I expect a thorough comparison of the iPad and the ASUS tablet from her!

Agreed!  She will now have lots of spare time so a detailed review/comparison should be a snap.

Here's my review:

The Ipad mini is lighter than the ASUS notebook.

[Jeff Golas]

Thas because you haven't filled it up with data yet.

[Billy Welsh]

Yeah!  How much does a kilobyte weigh???

[DebAmstutz]

Hah!  There's not much on the ASUS either, and it started out weighing more!

I bought a bluetooth keyboard/Ipad mini holder last night at KMart.  I charged the keyboard at home.  Didn't use it, though, because I fell asleep on the couch and it was late when I woke up!  Before I fell asleep, I did choose some sounds for different activities.  Still have to go to McDonald's if I want to use WiFi, though.  I need to look into internet at home again, but I really do not want to pay big bucks for it.

I need to pick up a case and bluetooth keyboard...and stylus for mine...picked up the dell venue 8 pro yesterday since it was 100 bucks off (199)...liking it so far since its full windows rather than RT, so i've got the touchscreen/tablet size i've been craving, but with whats comparitively better internals than the desktop i'm using here at work (other than storage space ).

wifi only would bother me with the 32 gigs and needing to rely on skydrive more, but i'll need to pick up a microsd for that and have unlimited data, will trav....tether.
