I finally broke down and bought myself a tablet. I spent months trying to decide what I wanted: another laptop, a netbook, a Kindle Fire, an iPad, etc.
I didn't want to spend a lot of money, and I wanted something portable. So I went online and found tablets dirt cheap. I got an Android because I wanted some fun applications that I couldn't get on my computer. Someone should explain to me why you can't get "apps" on a regular computer. I don't have a smartphone, and I don't really need one, so a tablet was my best option.
The app I was most interested in is one that let's you know if your bus is on schedule, and how late it's going to be. But it's not compatible with my tablet. Oh well, I've lived without it this long.

It took a little getting used to a touchscreen. I like it. I'm just disappointed that my favorite game on the computer, Majongg Dimensions, isn't "supported" by my Andoid tablet. How I can get that support, I don't know. I want to know if I can do better with it with the touchscreen. Anyway, it doesn't matter that much because I've downloaded several great games, almost all of them free.
Amazon gives away a free application every day, and most of them are games. I've had lots of fun with various word games, ones where you find hidden numbers or objects, and arcade style games. It's nice to have a variety.
I got my tablet also because the size is good for traveling, and I can access the web and my e-mail. The only drawbacks I've had so far is that the internet seems to cut out for no apparent reason sometimes. I'm also not crazy about the typing on a touchscreen. I make a lot more typos. But I suppose it's a trade off for not having to have a real keyboard.
If you're thinking about getting a tablet, go for it. Well, I'm off to go play some games!
