Hi,

I'm currently living in Canada and will be returning to Ireland in early November. I'm want to pick up a tablet pc before I return home but the choices seem to be endless. I'm not really a fan of Ipads due to the flash issue so am really looking at android or windows based tablets (have windows tablets been released yet?). I won't reguire 3G on the tablet either. I will be ordering from the States or here in Canada so please recommend a tablet pc for me! Maximum spend of $1000 (720ish Euros)

Thanks

The Android forum will have loads of suggestions for you. The Samsung tab and the Motorola Xoom get good reviews, although personally I don't like the Xoom. We got one at work, and it's not for me at all. I could probably get used to the OS, but I don't like the physical form of it; just doesn't feel nice to handle.

I've no experience at all with Windows tablets.

Thanks for suggestions so far. Ideally I'm looking for a windows tablet with hdmi connectivity if anyone can point me to one that they've used and recommend.
