UltimateUnknown said: First of all, why would you get a tablet? If you are looking to browse the web, watch videos, listen to music, carry PDFs or ebooks, heck even play some casual games then get yourself a good smartphone. The S3 is out and its armed with a quad core processor and graphics card to meet all of those needs and then some. A tablet is just too oversized and a smartphone can fit into your pocket just like any other phone, so you don't need to carry another bigger device which does the same thing. Once you have that covered, it seems much more plausible to carry another extra device that meets your hardcore gaming needs. That is what the 3DS and Vita are meant to do, don't try to confuse them with an all around device, which they are not. |
I am currently doing tabletop game design, prototyping and so on. For me, having the ability to read documents approximately along the lines of what I get with actual documents is helpful. This is why I am looking at a tablet. Something roughly the size of a book would benefit. I am currently moving in an area where my shot of doing anything professional involves designing tabletop games.
As far as a phone goes, I am so strapped for cash, I can't afford a smart phone's data plan. I have a phone with limited minutes used to call when in need. I am also happy with using Wifi to access the Internet, so I can avoid paying for a data plan.
