iPad mini / retina.

[co4nd]

Don't understand why people dislike iOS 7, I got a iPad Retina and love it and iOS 7.

[Evilguppy]

I'll give an explanation as to what happened with IOS7:

I had a Macbook Air, Iphone5, Ipad4 and iPod Touch 5th gen.
All connected, everything working like buttah, as they say.
Then I updated to IOS7.

I started noticing that my phone and iPad were slower, more sluggish, took forever to send out or receive emails.
I ignored it.
I went through a teacher training program which required a lot of note taking, I did the homework assignments on my iPad and sent them in, no problem.
But then, toward the end of the training, I started having problems finding notes, I figured I just wasn't looking in the right place.
At the end, I still had 5 homework's to send in and a take home multiple choice 10 page test that required graphics.

... And ALL my notes disappeared.
Luckily I had taken some on Evernote, but all the others, on the stock note app, were gone.
Suddenly I couldn't receive or send out any emails either, and about half the apps I needed to use kept on crashing.
So I went to the genius bar, and after over an hour and 3 tech guys, they couldn't help.
One even had the balls to tell me "It's not the device, it's you: you're using it wrong".
?!?!?!

That's when I switched to Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy Note Pro.
Of course had I known that Kitkat would be such a mess, I'd have gone with BB right away, lol.

Oddly enough, The bad CS I got from Apple was probably a fluke: Today I had a problem with my iPod Touch and Apple ID and the CS I got was fantastic, they called me back immediately and the tech stayed on with me until all was fixed and solved, so I have no complaints there.

I hate technology. I need technology. I'm a screaming techtard and completely hopeless but I *need* devices I can rely on. Aaarrrggghhh.

I have a 64 gb Plabook, ipad 2 and a no-name android tablet ($90, cheap). I use the ipad for work because specific applications/programs for my work are not supported elsewhere. The android is okay to play with once in a while but i find the "experience" uninspiring. I have used the Playbook for everything else, a lot for work until the move to the iPad. Now I use it for video chatting, music, connecting to my big screen with micro HDMI and showing pictures of family. While I wish that BB10 had come to the playbook, I understand the limitations of the original hardware and the need to move on. With a mobile hotspot, the Playbook is comparable to the iPad 2 in performance (I prefer the small form factor), the droid is not in the same league even though it is newer. ( Nov 13)

Surface 2. Like BB phones, its a productivity tool. USB 3.0 and hdmi out. Hopefully soon, BlackBerry can stretch it's Z30 to 6 or 7 inch. I wouldn't mind if it's a phone or tablet only device as long as it has BB10 OS, usb on the go and hdmi out.

Sony Tablet S. It stopped getting OS updates after a year (at ICS) and has a locked bootloader, so there are no ROMs. But its okay for browsing (if you use Opera Mini), reading books or PDFs, and watching Netflix or YouTube, so I won't be wasting and money on another one until its unusable AND there's something I want -- which will likely be running full windows.

I have a couple of PlayBooks - they do everything I need them to which is largely web and video.

I use the Apple mini for work since the signature app isn't available for my Surface RT. I have a love and hate relationship with both of them.

I honestly think tablets are a complete waste of junk. I have a smartphone and 2 laptops. What on earth do I or would I want that in between waste of money? I see tablets as one of the most useless pieces of tech going. Most people have smartphones and computers and having a tablet doesn't do anything extra I can't already do. Just my opinion, I know most blow there money on it.

Never had any problems with iOS 7 as far as notes or emails disappearing or anything else.

Still using my PlayBook but eying up a Surface Pro 2.

I've moved on to a Dell Venue Pro 8, running (full) Windows 8.1.

I had a Dell WinRT tablet that I got last summer, but I found that at 10" it was too big/heavy for the activities I was used to with my PlayBook. The Venue Pro 8 is just the right size, and it's a very powerful little sucker to boot. AND I can install BlackBerry Link and iTunes on it.

My 64GB PlayBook and accessories are listed for sale here...

[rtang1007]

ASUS Transform Book T-100 full Windows 8.1 with pre-loaded Microsoft Office 2013 professional Edition, and keyboard docking (USB3.0; HDMI out) for $398. I don't think any Android or iPad can beat it PC wise and price wise with the same spec. Android or iPad is nothing close to a PC. Indeed, Windows Tablet can replace a PC or laptop. It works well with my Z10. If BlackBerry can release Playbook 2 on BB10 (of course dreaming), I will definitely get it. Maybe, I grab Passport as my next tablet (phablet) so one device all the way.

Nexus 7 which I use for playing games, watching movies, and navigation during road trips (Google Maps and Waze).

I just noticed that it became quite laggy on 4.4.3 and even on 4.4.4 especially when playing games.

BlackBerry PlayBook 64GB and an iPad 2 32GB. I use the iPad for browsing, while I use the PlayBook for documents, typing, and scheduling.

Got a playbook that I hardly use (Occasionally for games like Nova 3 online) and an iPad 2 that I use much more than the playbook for watching videos and playing games but ios7 made it really slow. I don't see a tablet as a necessity so I don't see myself upgrading to anything else. My laptop (Macbook pro) and phone (Q10 atm, hopefully Passport soon) are enough for my needs.

I don't understand why BlackBerry doesn't release a tablet with BB10. If my PB could install apps via snap I would be a very happy man!! Instead I'm going to have to buy an Asus Transform T or even worse an Apple/Andoid device...!!

I think it is because of the current state of the company. When BlackBerry are financially stable, they may start to explore these ventures.

Surface Pro series, the next will be surface pro 3, they play well with BlackBerry.

iPad Air 32gb and '13 Nexus 7 running 4.4.4 as of last Saturday. Both are pretty great but the iPad Air is absolutely a necessity.

The Android fork running on Amazon tablets is absolutely the sorriest OS going. It's virtually unusable.
