The thing that most tablet makers (including Microsoft) really fail to understand is that people really aren't buying tablets based on specs

It's why the iPad continues to reign despite the complete lack of ports, etc. It's primarily about the apps and the services. Amazon got that very well with the Fire. It's all about their services on top of it, not the hardware. Google sort of gets it but I don't think their tablet stacks up to either the iPad or the Fire in the services department

I'd put my list as iPad -> Fire -> Nexus -> Transformer

(that last one was for you, Jax :)

My gTab has been sitting not turned on for probably 6 months now. I'm not in the market for a tablet for a long time. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 28, 06:20 4
