I have a Samsung tablet myself for use with a Wifi remote camera from Newegg.  The tablet came from best buy that I sometimes buy from. The tablet is small, a galaxy player, Takes good pics and works well with the camera.  Has very good voice reconition in it. If I'm sure I usually go with Newegg, if unsure I buy local to avoid the RMA thing.

I'm thinking I might get a surface 2 once it comes next year providing they don't shrink the screen like rumors say, and will get it from a local bestbuy.

Just seen a review of tablets. The only one (in the review) that comes close to the iPad is the Sony Xperia.
Others reviewed were Asus and Dell both not doing well.

what no link 
that is Okay, I'll let you get away with it this time

I just looked up the Sony Xperia tablets, nice tablet by the way. Unfortunately it will not do what I want/need it to do, but for an ipad competitor it gives the ipad a good run for the money.

I'm not in the market for an ipad competitor, the market I need is a full blown windows 8 os class tablet. The Samsung 500t that I had filled all my requirements, I just got unlucky when it came to getting a good one. No biggie though, even though I do miss it. I just tell myself I'll be getter a better one next year
