That's subjective. Either accept it, or wait three to five years for market commoditization. There's no right or entitlement to the tech and service being available now. Redefine the need, scope and phasing, and go with what works. (Not an Apple fan per se, btw. /all/ my "full" computing needs are non-Apple. But 3G/Wifi tablet? Apple). _____ From: "Mike Gill" <[email protected]> Date: Sun, 5 Dec 2010 12:38:43 -0800 To: NT System Admin Issues<[email protected]> ReplyTo: "NT System Admin Issues" <[email protected]> Subject: RE: IPAD vs Android tablets Really take a close look and spend some time with the Android devices. As someone else mentioned, they may not have the official Android Market Place available on that device. I purchase a smaller screen Cruz Micro reader from Borders (Android 2.2) and it was a complete joke. Not even Beta quality. The Cruz market only had hundreds of apps, and many that I downloaded didn't work or told me they worked best using the roller ball of the phone. Search of the market was non-functional, alarms could not be unset once set, the resistive touch screen worked 2/3rd the time. I could go on. At least they took it back. This is a good read: http://liliputing.com/2010/09/google-android-isnt-designed-for-tablets-yet.h tml So there are a couple tablets out there that may have potential, but my guess is most will leave people shaking their heads. -- Mike Gill From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, December 04, 2010 8:25 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: IPAD vs Android tablets We are being asked to look for a tablet that is close to an IPAD. 10 inch screen, 6 to 8 hours of battery, 3G/Wifi, decent speed, 2.2 OS, mainly being used for remote desktop to servers for Dr's in hospitals and clinics. The keyboard on the IPAD is really good, and the Bluetooth add on KB works pretty decent. The Doctors like the IPAD, but the practice does not want to spend 800 a device. Swappable battery would be HUGE! Anyone have comparisons or used alternatives that might meet this application. The Verizon tablet may be a good fit, but the smaller screen is not high up there with the DOCS. Thx Greg Sweers CEO <http://www.acts360.com/> ACTS360.com P.O.
