dont bother with the PB !!

[Bunjiweb]

"nudda" I think most are agreed on that, but care to elaborate? I've only had a quick hands on and thought it was distinctly average which the reviews seem to echo.

Haven't seen one in the "wild" at all yet either, where as I have seen quite a few Xooms, Transformers and Galaxy Tabs (As well as a whole hoard of people laughing deliriously whilst showing off how awesome / magical / revolutionary their iPad is)

Asus Transformer gets my phone, especially if you have an Anroid phone you could tether to?

[kevpuk]

+1 for the Transformer - really nice piece of kit, and the keyboard dock flexibility (including battery) is a real USP too.
Always dangerous to say, but I really cannot see the need to change from the Asus for anytime soon !

Talk is of the first Kal'el tablet being the Transformer2, I'm tempted to get rid of the Xoom I have now and just bank the money for a few months and then get a non 3g Kal'el unit as I havent really used the 3g apart from for a bit of testing, its wither been wifi or tethered to my phone so the whole 3g thing hasnt been as much of an issue as I thought it would tbh..

I find it very hard to read formulas or diagrams on a 7 inch tablet. Any update coming for Transformer to fix the issue?

Kal'el is reportedly going to be later than projected - i'm not sure if i'll wait for it now. I want to try the transformer and the new sammy 10.1 before I make up my mind.

I really like the look of those.

I only got the IPad, as at the time it was best tablet available. I'm not 'Apple fanboi' - I use a Windows 7 PC and a 'droid phone. I tend to buy whatever fills my needs (devices, I mean ) - regardless of platform. As long they 'talk' via WiFi, that's cool.

Let me know when you make your mind up then chap, as much as the Xoom does everything that I want I find myself wanting something lighter which sucks as I originally said that the Xoom wasnt that heavy, the more I use it the more the weight is noticable

[Deadlight]

Yeah, I'll be interested to hear what the Galaxy Tab 10.1 is like.

The HP pad is out now, who was it said they were waiting for it because it was running WebOS?

[Biscuit]

Everyone should be really, webOS has been top notch for a while its just been the Palm hardware which it was one which was disappointing. Not poor build quality or anything just really frigging awkward to use the keypads and buttons being set back that kind of thing. I expect the tablet to be really good, it just wont have any apps HP are gunna need to take a leaf out of microsoft books and set up some guides and tools for developers to port their apps over.

Let me know when you make your mind up then chap,

They're both in stock near me but i've run out of time today to get my butt down there - i'll literally have a play and buy one of them.

I have to say that since my tablet went back I wouldn't consider another 10.1" model. My lappy (13" Acer timeline) is pretty much as portable as a 10" tablet, and once you lose the portability advantage of a tablet I don't really see it offering much more than a decent notebook (slightly different usage models, of course, but even so...). I accept that other people's mileage may vary, and that other people may also not be blessed with quite so portable a laptop, but for me a tablet at 10" is just a little too large to be comfortably handled and easily toted about when compared with a laptop / netbook.

And having just picked up a top-end android phone, I have to say that a 4" screen doesn't cut it for the uses I made of my tablet - it's just about OK for web browsing / ereading etc, but no more than OK. I certainly wouldn't be happy with it as my main internet device: it's just not comfortable enough to use for that.

Which leaves me looking at 7" tablets, with a minimum landscape horizontal res of 1024px. So, HTC Flyer for me, really
