You’ve held out for months, waiting and watching the market for some sign of a tablet that you think you’d like. But maybe you’re asking the wrong question. Instead of “Which tablet should I buy?” maybe you should be asking why you need a tablet in the first place?

As for movies, well, I prefer watching them on with a proper setup—Blu-ray player, big screen TV, surround sound, the works—as opposed to watching them cramped on a train, or even hunched over in bed.

A point I've made several times, and whole heartedly agree with.

I suppose if you're travelling, it's better than some of the alternatives but for my lifestyle, the tablet just doesn't make sense, much as I like gadgets.

I guess one might actually suit me, in the car, for what I would use it for.

Actually, I agree with you, you have a definite use for one.

Well, as the article said, it would be silly to buy an iPad, with a newer version around the corner, as I might as well wait till it comes out, then get the old one cheap!  ;D

They are very nice and ultracool but I can't see myself buying one at the moment unless they seriously tumble in price.  Heck, I don't even think I have a smart phone.   :)
