Just how many different devices like these, does each person really need?

Great article by iSuppli on why the Android tablet makers are having such a difficult time keeping up with the iPad. The reason given, is that the manufacturers are dealing with the hardware side of the house; but are totally dependant upon Google to work the software side.

Apple, on the other hand - had complete control of both sides. They know the hardware, they know the software (present and future roadmap) and can performance tweak things - having full visibility into both sides of the house.

Android makers, on the other hand; are strapping high performance processors, to large batteries - and are fighting an uphill battle. They have yet to reach ‘critical mass’ - which again, plays to Apple’s advantage.

I still associate Toshiba with what they illegally did in the late 80’s to help make Russian submarines quieter .
They sold advanced metal milling equipment.

I'm probably narrow minded; but try to avoid their products for that reason

Isn’t HP’s tablet offering based on their own proprietary webOS

Any thoughts on that versus the alternatives, specifically iPad?

I am new to the entire blackberry, ipad, tablet realm. What is the difference? Can you connect to the internet from anywhere using a tablet, or do you need a wifi network to connect? I suppose I should go ask some 8 year old kid how to use one? lol
