I have a Playbook and a Galaxy Tab 10.1. I like them both but they have different uses. I use the Playbook for work stuff bridged to my BB (so dont have to worry about wifi) I use the Galaxy for down time stuff (reading Kindle when I dont have my Kindle, news, movies). I find the resolution on the Playbook to be much better than the Galaxy but the smaller screen turns me off for movies (not really sure why, maybe the 50" tv has spoiled me)

Having said all that, I prefer my laptop to both of them. I am more productive, work wise, with the laptop and my screen is larger than both the PB and tab. All in all I would guess i use my laptop 90% of the time, PB about 6% and tab about 4% (see how that adds up to 100? )

acer Iconia, by far the best tablet on the market.

I have both an ipad1 and a playbook. In my humble opinion the only practical use for a tablet is surfing the net, reading and email. ( btw both were given by my employer to me)

I find that anything that requires real productivity is very difficult to accomplish on a tablet. I will take my notebook or desktop any day of the week over a tablet as I find them to have very limited capabilities. They are running overblown smart phone os's that were never really meant to handle any heavy compute.

Spend as little money as possible on a tablet. They are a very portable and convenient tool to access the web and that's it. The hardware is overkill for the os's they are running ( anything multi-core) and there are far too many irrelevant apps in each of the respective platforms that you will never use.

However if I had to choose one and pay out of my own pocket and I would pick the Asus transformer. Why? Comes with a docking station with full keyboard and two usb ports. Makes life a lot more convenient and is far more practical then a touch screen. (thank god for automatic correct!)

Save a little more money and get yourself one of the plethora of ultrabooks that will be available in the next few months.

ok there's the clincher, Paulo's buying a black berry the platform is going to be killed. <jk> I bet if you look back paulo owned a betamax, Laserdisk & a HD-DVD player.

Yea, we live in a world where innovation is killed by sheep

some times... greed killed the betamax (the better video standard), blueray, how ever i believe to be the better standard over HD-DVD, in terms of smartphones/tablets, I don't believe there's one platform that is absolutely best, some platforms meet some peoples needs better than others, and for that I hope the companies keep making new products.
