But in the end, I can live mostly on my Android tablet.
Bought my Nexus 7 last week for playing around with Android
for the first time and I like it.
Crisp clear display, fast and responsive.
I am only beginning to learn about this device.
There are some strange things in comparison to my N900:
programs (why do they call it "app"? ;-) ) very often do not seem
to have the close-X somewhere on the GUI, only a few have this and close correctly, the others remain in the background doing nothing and there you have to swipe to kill them.

I bought my Nexus 7 just for playing with Android for the first time,
for reading, looking up something in the net quickly
and have a slightly larger screen than my beloved N900.
Since it only has WLAN, this is all I can do and it fullfills the
requirements.
There are office programs but who wants to write longer documents on a screen keyboard?
I never thought about making the Nexus 7 portable but maybe I will take a look into having N900 giving tethering to the Nexus, which is an overkill somehow.
If one has to do real work, he should buy a light-weight notebook
with a real OS (Linux).

I read that this may be around 800 to 1.000 USD according to
http://www.pcgameshardware.de/Surfac...tober-1028521/
A tablet for 800 to 1000USD?

On the tablet front, I'd go for ipad3 if I wanted a content consumer, or a X86 if I wanted versatility, but I fear that battery life on x86 is still low for worry-free couch-surfing
