The Big 'T'

Early this year, hubby bought me an iPad 2.  But I wasn't impressed with its performance (by now I'm quite convinced that it's me though I don't know why).. pretty often Facebook couldn't be updated.. likewise for emails.. then the occasional sluggish web browsers....
So when we got a Sony Tablet S (WiFi only) as a free gift from the purchase of a Sony TV, it only made sense to let my iPad go since (1) the resale value of a pre-owned iPad is even higher than a brand new Tablet S & (2) I wasn't fully happy with my iPad so didn't mind trying out another tablet.

We redeemed our Tablet S a week ago & it's not easy finding it a case.  In the end we'd to get the original one @ $90 (!!), without any choice of color & design.  The price definitely didn't match the case design... as we'd to use a few double-sided tapes & velcro to secure the tablet to the case & it's bulky.  But at last we got it all settled (though the initial experience was already pretty unpleasant).  On the same day, we sold our iPad 2 for $400.

Only a week with Tablet S, I got the following problems - couldn't edit photos, couldn't upload photos on blogger & it's quite a hassle to be connected to WiFi only though I could still use my mobile as hotspot.

Then on Sun, my dearest hubby, knowing his wifey was unhappy with Tablet S, decided to bring her to shop for another tablet & eventually got a Samsung Tab 2 10.1 on the same day & traded in Tablet S for $180.  Love ya, honey! :*

Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1
So far so good.... like it slim & sleek & the colours are fresh (but not over glaring).
Hopefully this will perform well :)
