I don't want a Chevy vs Ford fight here, but my DW mentioned getting a tablet and gave me the job of trying to figure out what would be best for us.
Where we are
1. We each have a new 17.3" laptop with nearly all applications we need except for video processing.
2. I have a heavy duty desktop for video processing, etc.
3. We are not interested in a smart phone for any other purpose than talking on the phone.
4. We have a Verizon MiFi 2200 (3g) hotspot for Internet access at home and on the road.
Why a tablet?
The only reason (at this time) for getting a tablet is for ease of checking email and quickie Internet browsing while sitting in the living room in our recliners - we are basically lazy.
I've been looking at a 16GB iPad 3 and a Samsung Galaxy 16GB, but I don't know much about the Android 4.0 O/S. Then there are Windows O/S tablets I haven't really investigated yet.
So, what are your recommendations and why? Are there any iPad or Android apps you use while on the road that you deem really good for RVing?
