True, and I may have considered one before the price drop at these prices, but now why would I? I'll just consider myself as having missed out. In fact I feel like not getting ANY tablet since the price drop as I will only feel I missed out on a good deal. I know its not totally a logical thought process and I often notice times around the house when I could definitely use some kind of tablet (almost entirely quick look-ups while reading the paper, random fact checks, studying etc), but in most of the tablet-desire cases I'd prefer a Kindle for referencing (and internet look up references) since its cheap and will soon have all the important tables/text books needed like CRC and Math and CS handbooks as well as being the easiest to read over a period of time- a good alternative to current appliances. If I want some mobile leisure, personally I'd prefer a smaller laptop (with some decent firepower under the hood) as I feel it fills more gaps. I understand that most non-nerd types might be a Laptop-Tablet-smart phone-Book hierarchy crowd but I'm desktop/home server-laptop-(maybe Kindle)-smart phone-book hierarchy myself. You know, if they are people that actually need to read something for work/leisure. Any music concerns can be easily handled by my smartphone and I see almost no need to watch a movie on a tablet. If I'm not watching it on my Big screen then I better find something productive to do since I'm clearly just burning time.
