I'm going to be getting a tablet soon and I wanted to ask for recommendations on which is the best.

I know the ipad and ipad mini are good but what about the other 'android' type tablets?

    I have an I pad which I'm obsessed about, but my sister uses an Acer which is pretty good too! Looks really nice as well.

    Try the Stone Tablet. While you have to provide your own hammer and chisel, it doesn't require power and is quite affordable.

    I've tried the iPad, galaxy tab, google nexus and microsoft surface and the microsoft surface wins handsdown for me! (followed closely by the galaxy tablet). iPads are great if you have all their apple products but, in my opinion, they're not nearly as powerful or versatile as their android or windows counterparts.

    I have a Xoom, I prefer the android

    I look at it as not so much about the device but the apps and how are you going to use it. Do you use iTunes a lot? If so maybe Apple is the way to go.

    Really look into the microsoft tablets too, the new ones are a full version of windows 8 (not RT ones) A little bit more money but it could be a true desktop replacement.

    I have the Nook tablet and an older ipad, I like them both for different reasons. I like the smaller size the the nook for reading a book and traveling, but trying to read magazines on it is hard. The ipad is a perfect size for reading magazines, but a bit big for reading books and traveling. It depends on what you want to use a tablet for.

    I have a Kindle Fire and I absolutely love it. Cost wise it was not at all that expensive and is a great starting point. It does everything I need it to including checking email, games, books, facebook, MFP and many many other applications. I also have a laptop and a Droid Razr so I am very internet connected.... lol I may upgrade to an Ipad at some point but since I am unemployed currently I cant justify the cost.

    I have a nexus 7 and my only real complaint is that I can not watch my Amazon instant Videos on it. My wife has an iPad and she loves it. Her iPad definitely has more screen space as well, which makes me jealous at times.

    It really depends on what you want to use it for. And are you geeky and like to mess with the OS and settings a lot or do you prefer a nice easy interface like the iphone

    I have Asus Transformer with keyboard dock and use it for everything since my rental laptop went back. My husband has the Nexus 7. I also have a smart phone so all data through Google is synced automatically on all devices.

    Everything works great, do not miss my laptop as have word processing, spreadsheets etc and keyboard for ease of data entry. Only one problem is that we cannot download Adobe flash player as using Android 4.2. Most site are now using alternative HTML5, but just sucks sometimes when there is a video I particularly want to watch and can't.

    **** iPad and there locked down bullcrap.

    Nexus 10 is supposed to be the tablet to own. It's what I'd get...or the Note 10.1

    Rather have a 16:9 Android screen than apples old school 4:3 screen too
