Since the i-pad is no longer an option for me, what do you think about some of this...

Today I heard that Algore is on the board of directors for Apple and I am appalled and disgusted. I had plans to buy two i-phones and an i-pad2 but that is now on hold because I don't think I can stand to look at my phone and tablet and think that I supported something that Algore is involved in. I consider him to be a damm arrogant fool with a huge sense of entitlement and he just completely creeps me out.
 
I know, I know... like it makes a difference to Apple, yeah right, but it makes a difference to me.
 
(Dammit... why don't the undo button work on this forum) I just accidentally deleted a paragraph... uhhh.
 
So, anyway.. have things changed for Android or Honeycomb (XOOM)?

    Well, although I think your reasoning is a bit "skewed" there, ol pal, I just recently got an iPad...I'm typing on it now...and it's a bit of a chore posting with it. I've heard great things about the new Honeycomb OS and bet most any of the newer crop of pads would provide you with plenty of fun...and frustration. I wish you luck in your search. You may need it judging from your technology purchase criteria:-)

    I've got a free recorder and it works fine w/ Android.  It doesn't do any that fancy backwards stuff, but for just recording it is fine.  I'm fixing to plunge into using my tablet as a controller (which is why I plunked down the money).

    I got the gtablet a few months ago - it does wireless but not any of the Gs but it works fine here.  I don't use it to type on forums - I've never gotten around to putting in my passwords.  For that I have to go to my computer here and then, what is the point?

    A couple of things that Android ain't good at - unless it is in honeycomb.  Books are kinda texting - that is what you get.  I'm sure they'll upgrade it but if you are looking to replace a kindle I'd be sure it works like you want, first.  And the text programs etc. (word) - don't have any real controls.  You can type but not format.  Not exactly what I was hoping for and I bought the $15 one.

    But it works pretty good.  But not as slick as apple's, but cheaper and about as useful.  Unless you just want to be cool.

    Good on you for staying away from Crapple, the ipad is not the best tablet on the market but it does have more apps than android but this won't be for long.  I have a Motrolla Xoom and whilst I don't use it for any audio, I do use it as a control surface and I love it, I, if I can help it will never use a desk or a real contol surface in my life, I am using an app called touchdaw and I suspect in the not too distant future that there will be an even better controller app, not that there is anything wrong with touchdaw it is just a  bit boring to look at.
     
    I also use a program called Pockedcloud that gives me control of my desktop over a wifi network.
     
    Any questions feel free to ask, I have been doing a bit of research on tablets and what we can use them for in audioland, I also know how to set up touchdaw, fingermidi and wireless mixer, these are all controller apps.
     
    Peace Ben

    Thanks Pal.. I know, it may sound like a stupid reason but it matters to me.

    AT, sounds good. It will mostly be a toy. I do need new phones too. I guess I will have to see what is available.

    Thanks Ben, I appreciate the words and I am sure I will have questions. I have to figure out the phones first. I am still using a BB Pearl with scotch tape to hold the bezel and trackball in place...
