I also need help with this

was thinking about the google nexus


why do most tablets only have like 4-8 GB?

kindle fire is stuff in comparison the N10
kindle fire also displays on the lock screen. and the main screen. and the apps.
n10 displays them on a per-app basis.

ipad is overpriced and locked down

nexus 7 is superior in almost every way to the ipad mini - price, processor, screen

the surface tablet is the first in a line of new stuff - it's a little baby that hasn't fully developed yet.


the n10 is almost always sold out.


go with the ipad if you must, but you're not gonna get a n10 unless you feel like breaking your f5 key.

i'm going with nexus 7

none of the ones listed have options for only 8gb usable. they all come with 16gb models, which, at least for the N7, comes with about 12gb usable.

if you root your nexus device, you can utilize a USB on-the-go cable and use usb storage. works on n7 and n10.

i'm not aware of the ipad supporting this, and you would probably have to abandon the OS of the kindle fire to do this.
the surface has usb ports I think so yeah

The hell you talking about?

The hell you talking about?
some tablets have gigantic ROMs that leave only 4-8 gb usable.

these are typically tablets from stuff companies.

also why do you 'really like' the ipad?

I really like the iPad & Windows Surface. They both look good.


yes i heard you

which features specifically are interesting to you

btw wifi is included in pretty much any tablet sold in the us.

you would be very hard-pressed to find a tablet without wifi, so you can remove that from your requirements list

Basically since it works with iTunes, It has iOS, and the iCloud syncs everything over such as Bookmarks, files, etc.

get the ipad mini, you'll be able to actually hold it in your hands besides the other ipad.

i don't understand why anybody would choose anything except for nexus 7/10

other tablets work with itunes

ios is stuff in my opinion but since you like it okay cool

every android tablet has that same syncing


wait you use a bunch of apple devices right?
which browser, OS, and computer do you usually use? phone too, if you have it.

I have my MacBookPro, iPhone 5, (making a hackintosh after I get some parts so that will run OSX)


I don't even remember what tablets I was looking at

now all I'm finding are like 16 - 32

lol I guess I don't know what I was talking about
