I just got a Google nexus 7 which I am typing on now and love it. Ideal size for laying in bed online before sleep. Used to want an iPad and may get one at a later date but this will do me for now and sure beats the 99 quid Chinese jobby I had befoee .

    I've got the NookColor with N2A (nook to android) card. Had I known they were coming out with a tablet at the time...

    Just received my 10" Samsung Galaxy Tab. Wanted one for ages but didn't want to pay RRP. Saw them online for something like 40% cheaper than retail and couldn't say no :)

    Used to have an iPad2 but it's inability to properly multitask internet applications (couldn't switch between a browser and something like Skype/MSN Messenger without the chat program disconnecting) got on my nerves so I gave it to my parents. They loved it and use it daily and take it with them when travelling overseas.

    Yeah I also looked at the Samsung galaxy and was tempted but size wasn't appropriate for my current needs.

    Asus transformer with the removable keyboard. It's a laptop mini, it's tablet, it's a mini, it's a tablet. I love it.

    I had trouble deciding between the Galaxy 7 & 10 inch models. It gets most use on the train going to and from work/gym and also to use when I'm feeling lazy and cbf getting out of bed. Decided the few extra inches was worth it :)

    I have the New iPad (3rd) and hubby has the Kindle Fire. His Fire was an eReader with internet ability which he has morphed into a tablet that can be used to read ebooks.

    I like both, but his Fire is bulkier than my Kindle Keyboard so it's too heavy IMO to read with. But my iPad can do more faster than his Fire, but it's bulkier than his.

    Wouldn't mind the Galaxy Tab, just to have it!

    Started out with a cheap web enabled e-reader, moved over to a 7" Blackberry Playbook (which is so-so and my go to for complete portability) but overall prefer my iPad2.

    The Ipad2 has a larger screen and is more serviceable for most tasks. As mentioned, multitasking isn't really an option... but for me the reality is if I need multitasking, I'd be better serviced with a laptop anyways.

    Cheers!

    iPad Original and iPad 2. I use the iPad Original for personal purposes and iPad 2 for my work since they bought it for me. I like the iPad 2 since I have a great keyboard with it. I'm thinking about the 3 but may wait for the 4.

    A 2nd generation iPad for the apps (music making mostly) and books.

    I picked up a HP Touchpad for $99 in the firesale a while ago. It's a bit clunky but good for running both WebOS and Android.

    I've had the Samsung Galaxy 10.1" and loved it, but realized that I really didn't need one that big so I now have the 7" Plus (the gen 2 if you will) and use it all the time. I find the size easier to carry around with me and I can put it in my back pocket. Great for reading or browsing or what ever. I do have a bluetooth mouse and keyboard that I sync with it when I need to type on it a lot for notes and such. My wife has the "gen 1" 7" Galaxy Tab and she loves it as well.

    I have a Kindle Fire but honestly they need to fix some issues like no SD slot and not enough internal memory. It streams great and games are cool but it is always full

    I have a BlackBerry Playbook. I like the form factor, and as I am already familiar with the BlackBerry environment (I have a BlackBerry phone), it made sense for me. It doesn't have as many games or whizbang doodads as an iPad, but since I'm mostly using it as an e-reader with Internet browsing functionality, I don't need all that. And it was hard to argue with the $199 price tag. :)

    I have an iPad 2. I initially purchased it because I could get a lot of my textbooks for school on it. I've found that I can do just as much on it as I can my laptop.

    I used to be an Apple hater, but there's not many places you can walk into crying because you dropped it on concrete and they'll replace it for next to nothing. :wink:

    Blackberry Playbook - awesome image quality and not too large to hold.

    Kindle Fire The OS is a bit buggy and qwirky, but it's a nice reader and handles the interwebz stuff OK, but as OP said it really needs more memory and external storage chip.

    I have the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7. I love it. I do wish they had a copy any paste feature. I can google, check emails,banking, fb, wwf.

    It does have a copy and paste feature, just long press what you want to copy and then where you want to paste, long press again and select paste. I do it all the time.

    Long press the area you want to copy and then select the "copy" icon at the top of the page:

    Long press the area you want to paste to and the paste option will appear, select it and the text you copied will appear:
