Buying in June.



Discuss.

P.s Steve/Ste w unfortunately Nokia havent produced a tablet, even with having the best os on the planet i think they thought it fair not to release one incase they embaress Apple/Google.


Serious thoughts?


Ipad has flash limitations, BUT is 10" therefore a "proper" tablet IMO. Plus it will sync nicely with all my media on itunes and use same charger as phone etc.

Playbook has no 3G, but has a proper HTML browser inc Flash. Lack of apps concern me as does 7" size. It does wireless sync with my Bold which would be handy for calender etc.

At the risk of being flamed, iPad purely because it's bigger and is tried and tested.

Ipad out of the two, not heard great things on the PlayBook.

You considered the Motorola Xoom? Had a play with one the other day and thought it was pretty good, loved the Honeycomb UI.

I looked at it and tbh I'm not keen on android OS. Looks poop especially on a large graphic interface like a touchscreen.

Playbooks net browser is fastest and is only proper HTML browser out of them. I am hugely impressed with Blackberries products and whilst it lacks some of the things the other tabs have it's stuff I am not likely to use hence why I ruled them out

iPad in White or Blackberry playbook. I'm yet to play with the latter but all reviews make OS look amazing

what price have you found on the Playbook Jambo?

Only thing that puts me off is the name. Sounds like something that would have an Early Learning Centre logo on it/

surely the iPad just because of the variety of apps and the fact that it has more investment as a product behind it.
