Philldoe wrote:Hehe.. The only reason I'll buy an Apple product is to smash it. Sorry to sound biased, but I hate Apple more than anything. I have little hate for Google, I just dislike the messiness of the Android UI. But I absolutely hate Apple.

Anyway Asus all the way if your looking into the Android world. Samsung is terrible for supporting there products, and the Acer is like the Kia of tablets.

I have an HP Touchpad 32GB tablet that is set up for my needs already with e-books and a few worthy apps like Zite and Appy News. I have my music and several movies copied to it, and none of that cost me a dime. I just have no interest in what the Ipad offers as its too tied into the App Store for me to want to deal with it.

Also, the Prime is a great tablet. My wife has a TF 201 because her school's wifi doesn't support Blackberry devices, and until the Nexus 7 is out all of the 7" android tablets are crap.
