  So I was right about everybody claiming they would close solely because Obama was re-elected. I haven't heard of one yet.

  I use a Nexus 10 and really like it. The display is wonderful.

  This thread is about tablets. Not Obamacare. Or am I confused?

  Btw, I have an ipad and I like it. The only other tablets I have played around on are a kindle fire and some windows 8 thing. I did not like either. I would like to play around on an android tablet at some point.

  I got a free iPad from Sleeper last year...you mean you all didn't get one? He musta just gave it those of us in the Basement with him at the time.

  My daughter got a Kindle Fire HD for her birthday, and I find her playing with our iPad more than the Kindle. I don't really get it. You have access to basically all Android apps, amazon books, netflix.
  
  Why didn't you like the Kindle Fire HD?

  Well, I have access to all iOS apps, amazon books, and netflix on the ipad, too.
  
  I didn't like the UI, mostly. And it felt clunky.

  And to be fair, it was the first gen fire.

  To be fair, I guess it should be asked if the Android can access OC?

  Sounds crappy to me. Curtis? Never heard of it. Though, I do like the name Klu.

  Don't buy no name tablets...a lot of them don't have the Google play store. Stick with something like Asus or Samsung. The best bang for your buck is a nexus

  When purchasing Android tablets, I only go with either a Nexus 7 or 10. You know they are going to be supported and get update as well as none of the other added bloat found on non nexus tablets.

  I'm definitely leery of the no names. Will look at Samsung et al. thanks.
  
  oh... and I agree with Klu being the boss!
