I have an original Samsung Galaxy Tab (wifi & 3G) and an iPad2 (wifi). I got the Samsung in lieu of having to cancel my old nextel account. I have just recently bought the iPad2 since it's what I really wanted. I enjoy both tabs, but I like the iPad2 better. Runs so much smoother

 

What about battery life? which one is best for that?

 

I've tested the: Xoom, Playbook, & iPad2 (significant seat time) and ended up going with the iPad2.

I am a fan of the Android platform, but the Xoom was laggy and the resolution was poor. Playbook, had very high hopes for it but it's a dud. iPad2 is the way to go, but I think the 3G is useless (AT&T) rarely get consistent connection and speed. It's best when I'm on WiFi.

 

I've got an IPad 2 for personal usage but handle the mobility and wireless infrastructure for my company so I'm looking heavily at all the various platforms primarily Android. In doing so, I've got the Playbook, Xoom, Samsung 10.1, and the un-released Cisco Cius.

 

My phone is a mini tablet.

 

Wait... what phone is that? I want!

 

Kyocera Echo. It's pretty cool. A lot of people complain about the weight and thickness... but they were coming from something like the iphone or Evo. Folded up it's about the size of my previous non-smart phone so it doesn't phase me.

 

so i've definitely talked myself out of the 3g ipad2.

i feel like if i buy the ipad2 i'm just going to be checking mail, staring at facebook and listening to music... which is basically what i use my macbook for.

 

it's still just a bigger iphone...I don't get it. I can't really think of anything I would do on it that I don't already just do from my smart phone :thinking:

 

How many tabs have you spent time with, Vin?
