Microsoft Surface, IMO, is just a little too new to recommend.  And if you really want the complete flexibility of having a full Windows machine, you need to ramp all the way up to surface pro, which makes it very spendy.  So, I think the choice is really between Android or iPad.  My gut reaction is to go with Apple, but that has a lot more to do with my own experience with iPads.  I can recommend iPad because I have one and use it all day and love it. But from a more empirical place, it looks like the Android choice can be just as viable.  These days, especially for the bigger name android devices (like the nexus), there seem to be good app and accessory options that come close to matching the offerings on iPad. So, while my quick draw recommendation would be for you to go iPad, I'd say that if you went Android instead there's every chance that it's as good a choice as the ipad.  AND... if you can afford it... think long and hard about going for the 4g package.  With the right data plan (bundled to share data with your smartphone, if you have it) you may be able to get the monthly service for just a few dollars more a month. (Check with your provider -- we just got a new iPad mini in our house -- for the first time one with 4g -- and added it to my iPhone service plan, converting to an AT&T Shared Data plan.  Given the individual plan I had before, I think I'm paying about the same per month now. Still waiting to see what that first bill looks like.....)-rg</blockquote>
