I've reached the point where I can't live without my Xoom
Or some form of tablet....

I find I'm using it anywhere from 1 to 4 hours a day for email, web browsing and reading.

How about you?

Tablet, no, but smartphone, yes, absolutely. I'd be absolutely lost without my iPhone - my whole life is on it .

Me too! Love, love, love my Xoom -- I rely on it for almost everything. News, podcasts, movies, email, web browsing, reading, work-related studying of tech pubs, etc. The ability to completely customize is fantastic. Oh yeah, there is the occasional Suduko and Angry Birds.

My big rigs are only used for processing and editing large image files.

Hey Kenny, glad to hear the Moto Xoom is still doing you fine, I can care less about thin, I still think the xoom is one of the best pieces of hardware on the market, it just feels very high end.

Ditto!

I only wish that sound via bluetooth didn't kill lip sync. Headphones or cable to speakers are unpleasant, and the built in speakers are not enough. But that's not a biggie.

I use a Logitech Z515 with a cable when watching movies.

And I use VNC from my Xoom to control my Linux PC. And my Squeezeboxes.

My phone I can live without, without any doubt. I often forget that I even have one... But can I live without a tablet? Yes, as long as I have any other device with me that can read books...

I don't have the Xoom, but I am lovin’ my Acer Iconia A500 which is similar. I use it for about eight hours daily mainly for ebooks, some email/facebook, and the occasional movie. I think it has some kind of prototype nuclear power cell because it still has about 20% battery at the end of the day!

Totally agree aqbout the tablet.

Mines a Galaxy Tab (original 7 inch) carry it with me everywhere I go. Can get it to do just about everything on it, even some of my work.

I can live perfectly without my tablet. As long as I have one of my other ebook readers with me... Internet isn't very important, and only a nice-to-have (which is why I have Wifi-only). And I found out it can't even play movies from our NAS! (no .TS support...) And I still haven't found the perfect reading software yet, so my tablet reading isn't optimal either.

Having said that, I couldn't live without my gadgets, though

For a second there I thought I was stuck in a parallel world of the "Mystery Science board" where I was forced to read cheesy romance lines across the internet.
I'm glad it's just the usaual crazy talk of how we've fallen in love with our gadgets.


I have to agree with Henry I still find my smartphone to be a the one necessity. My memory is so bad and all of my notes, schedules, task lists, etc. is on the device. I actually feel some trepidations when I leave my phone at home. If NFC takes off, I feel the dependency will get much worse.

Your memory is so bad because you always use your phone, instead of actually remembering! I always was very good at remembering phone numbers, but now, with the phonebooks integrated into your phone, I simply can't remember them anymore...
