Tablet user survey (just curious to see how many use em)

Post by MrsWargamer »

I have mentioned (somewhere online) that I considered it likely 2011 would be the year of the tablet, and I might be correct.

At the start of the year, it seemed all I could find was talk about em, but here it is later portion of summer and I have actually held the things in my hands.

I have learned they are not cheap, but, hey we are not kids crying over every last increment of 5 bucks either :)
It has been my experience that adults when they want something, won't let price dictate to a point.

All I have needed the things to do, is at the least render a page in colour near to original size ... check, and play my wargames via a capable enough OS (which is now even possible to be Windows 7) ... check. I have also seen that some even come with Splashtop software preloaded so I guess that program is actually liked that much.

So I am just curious, how many tablet owners are around here?
I ask, because as I see it, the tablet is the future. The Nintendo DS can go 3d I couldn't care less any more. Not interested in the Vita either, as I can't see why I would want something smaller than a 10 inch screen if I wanted an alternative to my laptop.

500 bucks might deter a teenager, but it won't deter me. Saying the DS/Vita are only half the price means nothing. They are also only pocket sized tiny screens too.

I'm soooo saving up for a tablet. The ability to play what I have always wanted to play on a portable device.

Well I use them and especially my kids, they highjack them constantly to play Angry Birds, Cut the Rope or Plants vs Zombies... sigh. :wink:

I use my iPad every day. It's a great gaming platform! I have arthritic hands, but I can use the touchscreen UI for hours without any pain, so for me it's perfect. Every week, interesting new games come out for the iPad; lately there have been a lot of great implementations of classic board and card games.

I've even played PC on my iPad, using Splashtop.
