OT: Tablets

I have just bought a brilliant pad. You can write on it with an ordinary pen or pencil, it uses no batteries or mains connector and the writing is permanent. It cost about a dollar so when it's full I can easily buy another one.
It's writing surface is called paper, dunno if it will catch on. :icon_lol:

Yeah those work great and are super reliable but I have a drawer full of them that I need to keep, so that I can reference them.

Anyways, I ended up purchasing the 4th generation iPad. IMHO none of the other tablets could keep up with the iPad. It was more expensive than most but I much as I detest spending $, it was the best choice. I also purchased the LifeProof case for it.

Now I need to find a good note taking app.

Not if today's schools have their way.
When chatting with the local middle school's assistant principal, I was told that cursive writing is no longer taught because it has been found to be too stressful for the children!
When I regained my ability to speak, I suggested to him that is the very process of "stressing" the little brats with new things and skills that he calls his job, i.e., teaching.

Got a blank stare.

I congratulated him for his contribution to the future of Idiocrasy.
 
i have a an asus transformer prime android tablet. I love it even though the gps doesnt work well. It does have a very nice attachable/detachable keyboard. I use it for work and home. I use microsoft outlook, office and notes on my office computer and have very good android products on my tablet that allow me to switch between to the pc and tablet almost seamlessly.

However, if I were to going to purchase a tablet today, particularly for work, I think I would have to look very closely at the new windows 8 products. I use MS Notes quite a bit at work and and that is the one product that there is not a good android compatible product.... even MS's android product is very lacking.

Yes, I think I would check out the Microsoft 8 tablets and touchscreen products if the the tablet is to be used for work.
