I may be joining you in that boat shortly. I have a shortlist working on backup tablets if this doesn't look like it's going to happen soon. Gtablet is pretty close to the top (with tnt lite of course.) Problem is for me, I WANT a 7 in tablet. I'm also seriously considering the nook color now that it's been rooted. Going to have to keep an eye on development on that in the next few days...might pocket the spare money and sell it to upgrade to a tegra when they finally start showing up. I'm just really disappointed in stream tv's complete lack of any news or updates regarding their product.

LOL.... the processor alone make the Ipad look like cow dung. Add in no restrictions blue tooth.. yeah apple likes to live in their little fenced in area where they even control the hardware you hook up to your device.Also not 10". 7" can accually be put in a nice carry case on your belt and with the second edition model you will be able to put your sim chip in.. so unlocked can use on any 3-4g network.So I would say.. less $$$ much better hardware and open not locked. This tablet is for the grown ups who dont want to be lead down the path by big daddy apple.. but want to be able to do what they want when they want.

2 cell battery is not going to give you "hundreds of hours" of music. Until I see reviews from reputable, established tech sites, I call "BS" on the product summary.

Oh from Amazon? Yeah I got some generic email from them before that said your "item is no longer in stock" which lead me to believe anything we hear from amazon regarding this is useless (since they never had it in stock)

Does anyone know anything about the company(Stream TV) that will be releasing this product? I would like their phone number, web site, or anything else pertinent. I'm trying to find the release date, but to no avail.
1348831
RJP, I'll be completely honest --- you should never pre-order a system that is still vapor-ware (non-existent). Cancel your order, wait for the product to actually release, check the reviews, compare the competition, then make your decision. The only way you lose is if it sells out because it's god's greatest gift, and they decide to never remake it.

When will they be available?Looks great combination of features & price-I really want a good viable alternative to the Apple.It will support/play Adobe Flash too, which Apple doesn't, & it's High Def, which Apple isn't

it has multitouch. the screen is capacitive. and brand name tablets will cost you a buttload more.

I have used it with my ipad easily (not a 4). A light touch is helpful. Also useful with our iPhones and calculators (small & large).

I love my ipad mini because i have a macbook and iphone where i can easily share photos, music etc. via icloud. I am travelling and its easy to take along with me anywhere i go. I have downlaoded the kindle app and im able to store and read all my books on there. Its just like having a kindle but with faster internet acess and more apps! I hope this helps :)

Speaking as someone that has both, sounds like the iPad would suit you better.

I find that, visually, the screens are about equal. My wife's iPad 2 has a slightly larger screen, but that doesn't really add much. The Fire HD is quite sharp (especially compared to the generation one Fire that I replaced with it. The iPad, of course, has many more apps and peripherals available for it. This is due partially to the fact that the iPad has been around longer and also to the fact that Amazon cripples the Fire by only allowing it to run those things of which improves. All in all, since their prices are similar, I would suggest that you go with whichever one you like better.

If you can download notability, definitely yes. I use notability on my iPad and take notes using my stylus. The stylus is much better than taking notes with your finger and worth the extra cost

I love the trackpad on the MBA. It is almost like touch screen. That being said I also own and love my iPad. Glad I own both.

Cathie, I agree. My daughter owns a Kindle and I have an iPod touch with the Kindle app. I truly hope they will continue to offer that app for the iPad. Yes, I agree that the Kindle is a perfect e-reader and the backlighting in the iPad will strain the eyes, however, it will offer so much for those that want an all-in-one device. I'm still going to hold out until fall or winter of next year. If the app IS available for the iPad, I will definitely consider purchasing it. Love, love, love to Amazon and the Kindle will always be there.

I really love my iPads...I have a couple of them. There awesome for a variety of things. I like that I can Skype, take pictures, add applications and games you like. if you just go into Apps and do a search for what you are wanting it will show a variety of options most of them free or dirt cheap.

I had both the ipod touch 4 and then bought the 5 and I truly loved it. The screen is slightly larger and the graphics very very sharp. I loved it. I was very careful about doing any ios updates, though, as those tend to destroy battery life. I did NOT do the updates on mine and the battery charge lasts a long time. Many hours of reading but remember, uses more if games are played. They will love the ipod touch 5.

Since the ipad air is the only version I've owned I can't compare it with the older versions. I can say though that I think it is worth the price I paid. It's very light to handle and the visual quality is excellent. The advantage of picking up an older version is probably price. If you don't watch many videos it would not probably matter so much.

Ya. I think so. I did not feel any difference in terms user experience with iPhone screen glass and iPad one

absolutely!! I have other tablets and another Ipad and trust me, the difference is Huge, Ipad air has a much faster processor and HD retina display that makes images very clear and the colors very bright.

Thanks. What is haptic feedback for? At any rate, I got an iPad mini now so don't use the Samsung. It's a dust-gatherer now.

Yes and no. If you're just doing stuff like web browsing and social media, then it is great for that. However, it cannot do programs like Photoshop or any sort of Halo games. The good thing is that you won't need anti-virus for this device and this App Store is amazing, you can easily find something for everyone in it. If you're concerned about typing on a touchscreen, companies do make iPad Mini keyboard cases with Bluetooth in them. Plus, that Retina Display on the iPad Mini makes the experience a lot better than with the iPad Mini 1. Any other questions?

STRENGTHS: -Web browsing is just as efficient as any computer or laptop. I can search any site and do any social media with it the same as on Google Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Internet Explorer, etc. -I have never purchased a word processing app for this ipad but I do utilize the option to write notes daily. I have a keyboard that I bring essentially everywhere I go. I wanted this ipad originally because it's a pain to bring my laptop everywhere, especially to my classes at the university. I use my ipad the same way I do my laptop--I take notes during my classes, I complete work for my online classes, I send emails and search for information online, etc. I honestly don't think there are any weaknesses to this product. I have come to find that Apple products are by far the most reliable and of the highest quality. I don't know much about Macbooks but if you're looking for a slim, portable, convenient device for basic browsing and such go with the ipad! You won't regret it nor will your wallet!

The tf300 came in today and i must say this thing is nice. I'm going to look at an ipad 3 this weekend and only if im just blown away by the screen then im going to keep this. I had such buyers remorse tell I powered this thing up. Thanks for all the advice
