    Looking for Tablet advice

    I am thinking about getting a tablet using tax money, as well as selling my netbook (Used for internet only).

    Does anyone have good recommendations for a nice tablet that won't break the bank ( I might look for a used/refurb ), and that will replace my netbook?

    I was originally only thinking ipad, but I have an iphone, so I am now thinking maybe another tablet may be best, maybe something that supports flash? Android? Windows8? Help!

    Get the new iPad. It's superior in usability, etc., but the price might hurt.

    Yeah... can't afford that, and it's sold out anyways.
    I am thinking $300 give or take would be good.

    Well, it really depends on what you need it for. There's some good ESUS netbook based convertibles out there.

    I bought an iPad 2 and I love it.it went down by $50 but I'm gonna guess that the price is still too high.btw I made the background of my iPad the trials evolution picture.

    Hmmm..
    Anyone have any experience with, or any thoughts on the Acer Iconia Tab A500?
    Looks pretty nice for the price! 've seen some refurbs for close to $300)

    I can really only recommend the iPad for battery life alone dood. I have both iPhone and iPad and use both of them all the time. The iPad 2's are going on sale for 399 I believe. 16gb should be plenty too

    Plus you can play 1000 heroz and motoheroz on it
