LloydWhy not wait and get the transformer Prime? I just installed Windows 8 consumer preview on my Iconia w500 and it works like a charm. Battery life has improved and it runs at least 50% faster. It feels like Windows 7 on steroids. The kids like the Xbox integration on Windows 8 and the Xbox Live companion application. Whomever thinks this thing cannot eat into Apple's market share needs their head examined. ;)

You're replacing it with a new iPad? People who have them seem to like them. One strange duck said, "they're life changing."!! Perhaps a new life should be in order for them, rather than immersing themselves in a freaking toy. I honestly prefer a small laptop for a portable, but I only carry a computer around once in a while. An iPad is too cumbersome for everyday walking around. I hear they're perfect for the shitter though. That old expression comes to mind; "there's an ass for every seat".
Nope, I'm replacing it with a Asus Transformer. The iPad is a nice device, but I decided to get the money out of it while I still can. It was a gift, and I gave it a fair shot after 3 months of using it, but I'd still prefer the Transformer running ICS.
Since windows ARM tablets won't be out till next year, and no clear x86 based Win 8 tablets anytime soon, the Transformer it is...
