Well I was speaking casually as I dont actually wait for Christmas, for all the same reasons, either. But the Nexus 7 just happened to come at that time ...
I was waiting until things on the Tablet front settled a little and there was enough feedback to go for the best value. From all I have read thats the 7 at the moment. Your iPad looks bigger David and I wanted something that would go in the pocket, a large one admitted, or easily in the backpack and not weigh me down.
I dont know if it works on other models but there's a coupla quid cable for the 7 that plugs in the mini USB skt and adapts to full USB ... its great to attach a laptop wireless mouse to it if sitting down. If using a finger I'm impressed with the 'swipe' typing and even without much practice it's good.
I wanted the 3G version as with a Roamline SIM card I can connect anywhere in the civilised world even if I'm not near a WiFi point, with charges only paying for what I use, which will probably be small. Seems a good idea to have the option.
Nice router Colin ... reckon I'm done with those now.
Cheers Gary
