Last macbook pro I had was one from 2010 - Is there still
1) no way to turn that terrible start up noise off? (apart from the vol down - very inconvenient)
2) that horrible clunky trackpad that makes a horrible clunk every time you click it?

I work in Mobile apps and have tested apps on most of these devices.
Whats most important to me is the quality of the screen and how the device feels in the hand.
Motorola Xoom2= POS
Archos=POS
Playbook= Antiques roadshow POS
Kindle Fire= Amazon content delivery system. Plus I believe they track all your browsing through MIMO.
Note 2= Best Phablet.
Nexus 7= The best Tablet by miles.
Not tested or had my hands on the rest or ipad mini yet. Hope this helps.
Its all about form factor and weight for me - the galaxy tab is half the weight of the ipad and its form factor is the same as a kindle - so ok to hold in one hand. I returned the ipad after 1 week - way too heavy and akward for me and much more girlfriend friendly as can keep one hand on her!!!
I'm enjoying the galaxy so far - its nice to have another os to play with. The ebook reader on it is perfect (my kindle 3 is going to my better half) and I've not had any problems with it so far. I guess it depends on usage. I turned off the 3g so that has increased the battery life significantly.
I seem to be getting at least 7 hours out of it.
I use it on the sofa and next to the bed - the ipad was too big to do this.
Big phone? yes some of it might be but I'm getting old and can't look at my iphone 4 screen for too long! I like being able to browse the full websites and flash has been ok on it.
BTW I just noticed the tab has had its price reduced its now £399 at amazon. With price erosion like this it will be £200 come february!
MPs pay is NOT a reflection of the role, as let's face it, every single MP is in it for the fame and publicity, not for the money
hmmm not true - there are in it for the ego trip first then the huge amount of money they can get afterwards using the connections they have made. Thats why camerons 5% pay cut is just a PR move.
