I made myself stick with it for a while because I know there is a learning curve on these things, and, by gosh, in a few days I decided I did not want to put Go Launcher Ex on it but wanted to stick with TouchWiz. |

The keyboard is great and I hook up a VX Nano Logitech Wireless mouse to the keyboard occasionally. You can also hook up speakers to the keyboard - have not tried that yet. Oh, and you can connect USB thumb drives either to the keyboard or the device itself. I was able to connect a 500 GB portable EGO Iomega Powered drive (has a USB POWER connection which I connected to my laptop) to it and it showed the files. |

i'm so confused. Why would you want your tablet to act like a desktop? Doesn't that sort of defeat the whole portability experience?

Because for content creation a desktop-like experience is more productive. For prolonged data entry a physical keyboard is preferable. And unlike a desktop, you can take the tablet and leave the keyboard and mouse behind. The flexibility of this setup is very underrated. Hope did a good job of describing some of the capabilities.

Use it in the living room to check email or look up anything on the internet. I don't have a Smart Phone. It's lighter and slimmer than the KF so it's easily held in the hand for long periods or carried in my purse. Oh, and I did have an old laptop in the kitchen mostly used for looking up recipes in my Now You're Cooking software but replaced it with the tiny keyboard/charger for the Galaxy - takes up much less space. All of my kids have Ipads so I'm odd man out. Last edited by Hope; 10-28-2012 at 05:45 AM. |

Sooner or later focus was going to come whereby it couldn't be missed by anyone for comparison purposes and right on their homepage!
http://www.amazon.com/ If I was forced to make a decision to get my first and a new Apple device it would be the Ipod Touch 5 since I already have a decent amount of android devices. I'd could choose the Iphone 5 but already got a good deal on a smartphone so it wouldn't be that. Last edited by robertc88; 10-29-2012 at 11:34 AM. |
