Getting a new tablet

I've had my Playbook for almost a year now. While I like everything that it does, my inner geek is yearning to try something new. I'm looking for a tablet that provides a more customizablle UI. I want it to have integrated PIM apps, bit I also liked the idea of bridging to my BB phone. I want the typing experience to be improved. And I'd like to keep the 7" form factor.

I would feel bad putting my Playbook in a drawer when it's a perfectly good functioning tablet right now. Should I get the iPad 3? While it looks enticing, I'm not ready to dump 600.00 on a new device less than a year after I got my Playbook. Should I get the new 7.7" Galaxy tab running ICS? Wow! That one's expensive too!

Hmmmm... I know... I think I'll wait a little bit and pay $0.00 for for one of those new funky Playbook 2.0s! I can't wait for my mew Playbook!

I'd upgrade to the 3G version of the PlayBook if it ever comes out...

the ipad3 looks like nothing because nothing has been announced yet.

Funny playbook user :D

My new playbook 2.0 will be free...match that Kindle-ing :eek:

its not worth investing in android because the the month after there is always something new and better that will be released

With OS 2, it just might feel/look/act like a new tablet.:D

I will be buying an ipad 3. The only reason why is live hockey. Why there is no live sport apps on the playbook is beyond me. Sure i could find some blurry flash video of a game but live hockey on an ipad is nice.

I heard that new 7 inch Galaxy Tab has a dual-core 1Ghz processor. Cutting edge!

Yep it is going to be just like getting a new tablet.

In fact it's running Exynos that is much more capable than any other dual core. And it has a great Super AMOLED screen. Not that PB's screen is bad. It is great. But the Tab's screen is a good contended, especially with a somewhat larger area in a smaller/similar body and higher resolution.

Exactly. If it is the Tab 7.7, then it's 1.4Ghz Exynos, which is the winner among dual cores at the moment (until A15s roll out).

i would wait and see for a bit, OS 2 should bring around some nice changes on the current PB that will tide you over for awhile.

There should some nice new ICS tabs being released along with the iPad 3 that we dont know much about quite yet.

lol great post. I stream the habs to my playbook all the time. Quality is same as on tv. You can also get nhl center ice
