[QUOTE="Banshee16, post: 5850663, member: 7883"] This is a perfectly cogent and logical answer. And, on several of your points, I can't disagree with you. I know everyone talks about Microsoft.....but.....they're starting from *way* behind. That having been said, I'm hearing some really interesting ideas......XBox integration, convertible laptops similar to the Transformer, but where there's a second CPU in the keyboard itself, so when it's docked, it goes from a tablet with a dock to a device with two multi-core CPUs working together. That's some interesting thinking....if they pull it off, it could change the landscape. I've got no problem with people saying they like their iPad, or getting it because it's compatible with their friend's systems. My main beef is the contention that it's the only option, and that the other tablets are crap. I've been using my TF101 since August on a daily basis for work, and know that it's not crap. Further, it's been useful in a number of situations that my business partners iPads have not been. But, I don't have as many games. Honestly though, when I want to play games, I turn on my XBox or desktop PC. There are also other numbers I've seen, showing that Android has caught up a little more than it seems, if you look at *global* numbers, instead of just the US market. Heck, even the Playbook (particularly with OS 2.0) is much better than it's given credit for. There's room enough for both types of devices. Banshee [/QUOTE]
