Re: tablet comparison

[Bob Crothers <bob.crothers@xxxxxxxxx>]

What Pat says is very true.  That said, I've had a Kindle Fire since last
December and still love it.  Is it perfect? No.  But as long as I remember
that it is a $200 tablet and not a $600, it serves me very well.

My biggest complaint is still that it is horrible at Gmail and unusable for
that.

My biggest positive is the 7 inch form factor.  I've got no interest in a
10 inch tablet.  I'd rather haul my google chrome or any of the new ultra
book's out now.

Re being locked down, it has been jail broken, opening it up to anything on
the Google Market (aka: Google Play).

Peace.
It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard
work.
It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart.
