    That's why im waiting for a windows 8 tablet or hybrid. Don't see the point of having a smartphone, a big smartphone aka tablet and a pc to manage the two

    I was in the same situation. Had a Galaxy Nexus and bought a Asus Transformer. Was struggling to find a use for the Transformer. It was too big to carry around and I much preferred to use a laptop at home. The only thing I used it for in the end was to watch Netflix in bed, but even that was uncomfortable as I had to hold it with my hands - ended up using a laptop.

    I am currently selling the Transformer on Ebay. I have concluded that a tablet is just a useless gadget that manufacturers are pushing heavily because they ran out of customers to sell phones to, so they need a new product to hype. I am angry at myself that I fell for it, but the loss shouldn't be too bad :-)

    Whilst a tablet will duplicate the functions of a smartphone or laptop, I find it beats both when it comes to convenience. I've a 7 inch android tablet, iPad and a large screen smartphone.
    Prior to owning tablets I'd use a smartphone for light browsing and a netbook or laptop for longer sessions. Now a tablet replaces it. Dual screening is much easier with a tablet.
    The iPhone screen is rather small even compared to more modern smartphones.

    Smartphones are fine for truly mobile usage but around the house a tablet beats them.
