I find Tablet success to be a tad sickening. Through skillful marketing the masses have been dooped into buying into a fundamentally useless product. Anything tablets do, phones do them just as well if not better. They are glorified internet/app machines that are inferior to the avg smartphone. They are suppose to be replacing the PC/Laptop market yet has anyone ever attempted using a program such as ones for typing, or things like 3DS Max? impossible and down right unwieldly. And they cost MORE too than laptops.

One of my friends was just telling me he got one (when he has a laptop and desktop) and I could not help but feel like im surrounded by lemmings.

$600 for a facebook updating device. At least the Surface RT comes with Office preinstalled. My wife has a Kindle Fire HD (only $199), but she reads a lot, so it's actually useful for her. iPads? I just never got it, too expensive for an oversized smartphone/ipod in my opinion.

kindles at least make sense to me, they serve a function not done by another electronic or at least the price isn't so crazy. Ppl don't want to carry big books around for their entertainment, that device simply allows you to carry your entire collection without much of an issue, also helps with the not being able to see small print as you can adjust to preference. some Phones can do this also so maybe that is useless.
