Gris,

that might get you what you need in the future.

So, I'm thinking about buying an iPad. I need something that will travel, so I was originally thinking a netbook, but it occurred to me that the iPad would be a great way to keep (and annotate) reference books that I might need in my new job. But, maybe another tablet or computer?

Thoughts?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

are you interested in reading or do you need to do a lot of typing/editing?

If you need the latter, I would recommend a light laptop. If you are primarily going to read, watch media, then the ipad is perfect. The ipad is not ideal if you have a lot of editing to do.

Oh, I forgot to mention that I will be getting a laptop from work, so I will have something if I need to do editing/typing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

On the other hand, Samsung Galaxy. IJS.

Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0) looks sweet (NPI). I hope my G2 gets it.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I'm very happy with my Toshiba Thrive. Many tablet options out there, still.

I love my iPad. It's remarkably light and fast. Since the latest OS release, you don't need to hook it up to another computer to download apps and such, so I find it a pretty useful stand alone device.

those of you with iPads, did you go the WiFi or 3G way? i really want one, but i want the 64GB so i don't have to worry overly about space.
