I have an iPad my first Apple device and from what I have seen Apple as usually does even though the technology existed before does never include everything it can in one release just to keep Apple nuts buying the same thing over and over again. Jobs way of getting more money from the same people over and over again. I plan on going back to Android brands to get everything with one purchase I am finished with Apple I won’t be caught up in his obvious little scheme ever again!

Indeed, I might sell the Tab, but not when the first Android 3.0 tablets arrive: they’re all slated (ha!) to be 10″ devices and I personally don’t need a device that big. I don’t expect new 7-inch tablets with Honeycomb until mid-year, although I hope I’m wrong. And yes, it’s a never-ending cycle, but I do my share to help the both the economy-at-large and the bottom line of UPS/FedEx who are here on a regular basis. ;)

Kevin:

Thanks for the reply and the link. I assume from your comment re the Tab, that you’ll sell that once the Andorid 3.0 tablets come out since that OS is optimized for tablets.

It’s a never ending cycle, isn’t it.

For me, my first tablet timing seems to be working out since the iPad 2 and Android 3.0 release dates are relatively close. I can sit back and wait for the dust to settle. Although, with all the Apple – Android vitriol that tends to take place, the dust may really get kicked up.

Thanks again

One last thing, arithmetically I now know that I could have merely done the following:

PPI @ 9.7″ / (7 / 9.7) = PPI @ 7″

265 / 0.72 = 367 (close enough)
