iPad 2 - Page 7

azoomm · 01-03-2012, 12:03 PM

I now almost exclusively use my Toshiba Thrive. I have apps like my phone only it's larger screen makes it easier to actually do business stuff on. Between Quickbooks and my website I can now run my business from anywhere.

It's incredibly easier to fly with than my laptop. Battery lasts forever and I have a backup just in case of a long travel day. I don't need to find an outlet, I just pop the back off and switch batteries. I only break my laptop out no when I have a LOT of typing to do. Even then, my husband got me a bluetooth roll-up keyboard to go with my tablet.

My husband uses his on the ship for work. He now doesn't use paper out there, just pulls out the tablet and writes all his notes and check-lists there.

I gave up on tablets. I went through a nook color, an iPad 2, and an HP Touchpad w/ CM7 on it. Now I'm back to what I needed all along: base-model kindle.

I set one of those up for my grandma over christmas. I hated doing anything on it. A Kindle Touch 3G seems like a much better choice if you just want to do reading on a tablet.

I tried the touch this weekend. I don't think eInk lends itself to touch.

I'm glad I got what I got.

I'm surprised that the electronics itself survived the conditions above 50k feel

I'm still enjoying my Playbook (have been on it for a couple of hours tonight) but i must say, all tables are doomed to fail.

Why? You may ask. The internet is porn. A table is a two handed device. RIP tablets.

For $80 it's awesome... It's a bit slow because it has a smaller "ram" but for watching Netflix and surfing, it's fine.
