Well, what can I say - the title says it all.
I have blown the companies thank you cash payment (all £284 of it, and then some!) on an Asus eee pad transformer.
For those of you that dont know what it is - it is a tablet which comes with a keyboard attachment.
The tablet itself is very good - a little heavier than the iPad, however it runs on Android 3.1 (upgraded ~ two weeks after the release of the new software).
It has a very high quality screen, very responsive to the touch, with loads of space for apps. Angry birds is free too on android.
was contemplating getting a kindle for my birthday, however I dont think I will need one now, as the app on this tab is actually really nice.
Google maps works a dream, and it is amazing how you can use multitouch to swish the map around, and zoom in and out.
the keyboard attachment works really well also - it turns the tab into a neat netbook, which makes typing all this a damn sight easier than doing it on the onscreen keyboard. Also you can see so much more without the keboard hogging a large percentage of the screen.
The other plus points - the keyboard has its own battery, which charges the tab when connected - so prolongs battery life significantly.
It also has TWO full size USB slots, which now allows you to connect what ever you want to - even PS3 or XBOX controllers!
There is also a full sized SD card slot - so I can connect my card from my camera right into this device - there are going to be significantly more photos appearing soon!!!
Whilst we are talking about memory, the tab also has a micro SD card slot, so I can increased storage on the tab also.
There is also a mini HDMI cable, so I can hook the tab up to my TV if I so desired - I imagine I could play Angry birds with a PS3 controller on my 42 inch TV if I so wished!!!
Anyhow - this all means that I think that my latest purchase beats the iPad hands down, and only cost a fraction more than the lowest priced iPad.
Unfortunately for Sam - this means that I might be speaking to her less for a while as i get to grips with my new toy!!
TTFN!!!
