When iPad has a proper filing system, doesn't lock you into iTunes, and the means to expand memory we can re-visit your statement.

Yes, an ASUS Transformer, but I didn't find it to be as good as an iPad. The manufacturer of the jet I fly recommends that pilots use the iPad on the flight deck, my company issues them to all execs and the FAA has practically mandated their use on Gulfstreams, so why try to swim upstream to use a competing product that may be as good.

Yeah Sporty's is jam packed with mounting options for the iPad that's for sure. I still see that as an application specific reason for owning one.

I was unfortunate to be working on a Sunday and needing to go shopping, so I went into a "super" Wal Mart yesterday. The urge I've been fighting to splurge on a Nexus 7 finally overcame me and I checked to see if they had one.

Nope.

Sitting in the parking lot, I called a few of the other 38 Wal Marts we have, Best Buy, Target, none of them had it either. Target and Best Buy actually said they aren't going to be carrying them.

Walmart.com has the $249 model listed on their site. I do not want that one. I don't know if this this is a limited release or if they want you to buy it in the PlayStore online or what, but the urge has passed for now.

Right now the ipad2. Im patiently awaiting the mini though

Outdoor Hub mobile, the outdoor information engine

For just entertainment purposes

New Kindle fire (if you are already wrapped up in Amazon Prime)

otherwise the Nexus 7.

If you are looking to do real work, the ASUS transformer or Samsung Galaxies.

Because Apple was smart in getting itunes and tying up content... not because the IPad 3 is better...I have one it's so-so.

Give me a SD card slot and USB interface then we are starting to be on the same page.

iPad.
Funny thing about the iPad, the local schools are issuing them, my Doctors Office is now using them, heck I use them for sales at my company.
I have never seen any company using an Android device. When we sync calendars using Outlook the only device that has issues is my employees with a Android device.
I use a PC most of the time, and have had no problem with the MAC OS.
