Re: In search of a good tablet: any feedback about GOOGLE NEXUS 10?

FWIW, I have an app called UPad Lite that allows handwritten notes. My
handwriting is lousy so I haven't used it much but I have friends who have
used it and like it.

I have an iPad V3 with the Verizon network support (so it's an over
glorified phone as well as a tablet) and use it to connect to client
networks via VPN when I am out and need to respond the the system,
(Mocha 5250 client). Works well and I like it quite a bit.

That said, during meetings I find myself pulling out the MacBook Air.
It's easier to type on (I composed this message with it) and it's got a
great display and battery life. Most importantly, it is nearly silent
when typing on it so I'm not bothering others.

What I have not tried yet is one of bluetooth keyboards for the iPad. I
suspect if I had one of those, the use of the MacBook would drop fast.

The one feature I wish I had on the iPad is using a stylus to take notes
with. Maybe there is software out there for it, but I have not found
anything as yet. I think that might be a strong influence feature for me
if I replace the iPad anytime soon.

I have been comparing different tables in the last couple of days vs.

the iPad and its different versions. For example, although iPad 3 had a
lot of revolutionary changes in its technology (strongest jump was from 2
to 3, I have read) I have read a lot of reviews and comparisons between the
major tablet versions and found out that GOOGLE NEXUS 10 is pretty much the
latest, more robust rival for the iPad; in addition, not only the
technology the Nexus technology is higher but also the price: this is a big
benefit.

Pretty much a first time tablet user is going to be happy with any
tablet. Only after you've used it for a while will you really have a
sense for the features that matter to you. I myself am more interested
in battery life than anything else. My second requirement is the
ability to repair it myself, which eliminates any Apple product from my
list of things I want to own. I mention this not to start an argument,
but to show that what's important for me (or you) is not necessarily
captured by a review.
