Need to decide.

Hi MsTickle! My "Good" friend x I have a recently acquired iPad and it's great for connecting to the internet and using apps etc. I assume the Android 4 tablet will do pretty much the same. They don't have much in the way of hard disk space but are lighter and obviously 'touch-screen' so more useful when you are on the go. I do use it more than my laptop now but until it has a greater storage capacity, it will not completely replace it. If I were you I would dive in and buy one. You have to keep up or be left behind, and that's the worst behind to have!

My daughter has an Android...I don't know if it is a 4 or not though...She looked up a ton of reviews on it before picking it though. I know hers is just like a little laptop. It has a slide out keyboard and you can download apps on it. The battery life was the biggest thing she ran into with the reviews but the one she choose had the best one out of her research. You can do pictures, videos, search the web, talk, text, and it has a GPS app too. Gosh..I guess they can do just about anything.

My dear friend...I can answer "nada" about an Android 4, and my son is not home, so I can't even pick his brain..LOL! But I am going to follow your discussion to see what I can learn! I am overdue for an up-date and to expand my knowledge of electronics, but that will be a challenge for me, as I am JUST NOT a "techno-rat!" Still having trouble with my cell-phone. I also, just wanted to chime in..and say, so glad to hear from you..and send SOME LOVE from the West Coast of Canada! I know you will pooh, pooh me but we are experiencing 35-38C...which is highly unusual for this area, and we just can't seem to get acclimitized! Thank goodness, I still have about an acre and a half heavily treed, and that is where I am spending the hottest part of the day! BIG, BIG HUGZ

this is a great question and im always wondering about new things that come out that seem to do everything when you just need to lay down somewhere or you are away somewhere from the big pc. im always asking the kids about these but i think some times they dont want me to spend to much as they need to borrow so much so i dont get enough info about them so im folowing this. discussion

Before the blackberry that I have right now, I used to have a Samsung android. (I dropped it, and broke which forced me to get another smartphone). I remember loving that android as it made me do anything and everything. I can get to the internet anytime. My kids love it for all the games they were able to download.
