    Anyone pick up a tablet? If so, which one?

    I was curious how many tablet users we had. Personally I've had an iPad, Xoom, Galaxy Tab and I'm currently using a Blackberry Playbook.
    The iPad is great for apps, and Android tablets have tons of options such as multiple browsers. The Playbook is very solid and has great build quality. I find that it has the best browsing experience with amazing flash performance. It will stream 720p video like nothing and play 1080p files stutter free. I also find it to have the nicest overall display.
    So did you pick something up or decide to wait?

    I picked up the Xoom at my local target on sale while ago for 449. I liked it as it had decent power and was faster that netbooks. Its worth the money if you dont have a laptop but its def not worth the 599 its listed now, i would wait for sales.

    I ended up selling it as i like my laptop more..

    I really love any of the Bamboo tablets. Ive used them for years, and a few of my friends have picked them up and love them. They are very sturdy, work great, and are very well priced.

    I've got an iPad and a playbook. We're looking at getting the Asus Transformer when it comes out as well.

    I was not impressed with the Xoom at all, or the original Galaxy Tab....but the new 10" ones look worth a try.

    I wasn't impressed with the Xoom either. My favorite so far is probably my iPad 2. Stupid little things like grabbing it and changing the channel when the remote is across the room is priceless
    I still think Honeycomb has a ways to go and it seems unfinished to me still. The new GTab looks gorgeous, but it's still Honeycomb. I've also had the HTC Flyer and it can't hang with the Playbook in the 7" size class. It forced closed a ton and the UI isn't nearly as good. Once the PB is running Android apps I think sales will pick up. Lemme know how you like the Transformer (if you can find one).

    We ordered a Transformer from Newegg today. ^^ I'll be sure to let you know.

    We use all our tablets and phones as remotes cause we have a Boxee box. It is indeed super convenient.

    The Flyer was...depressing. HTC used to be my favorite company but their decisions of lat have left me disappointed. I'm hoping Huawei gets into some higher end stuff soon.
