I was going for the Note 10.1, but then found a stylus with pressure sensitivity made for the iPad and went for the iPad 3 because of the stylus and mostly for the better app range.
Thought about the Samsung Ativ smart pc but that got to expensive here in Denmark and I wasn't sure that the pressure sensitivity would work with Mypaint. If not I'd to wait around for some drivers to arise and then the no. 1 reason to by a tablet would be gone (mostly bought it to draw on).
I'm really satisfied with the IPad 3 for the purpose I bought it. The tablet + stylus is working really well and the pens sdk is implemented in many top drawing apps and works very good. The iPad 3 itself is very smooth and has some nice multi touch gestures to navigate around the UI to make it easier to close or change through open apps. Takes the load of the home button too.
All in all it does what I want it to do and very good indeed

Alright, I've just gotta ask: what do you do with a tablet? I honestly don't understand. Other than the idea of carrying around a little TV in your hand, I'm not sure what the fascination is with them. If you want to play games on the go, a PSP-like device that you can actually grip with your hands while playing would seem much better. If you just want to handle e-mail or browse the web, you've still gotta either hold it in one hand while pecking at it with your finger, or lay it flat on a nearby surface and try to use a virtual on-screen keyboard. And doing any real work on it seems totally impossible. (Unless, of course, you add an external keyboard, at which point you've just made it into a normal laptop.)
So, from what I see, that pretty much just leaves option #1; you mostly just sit and stare at the thing. What do you folks actually do with these things? Do you really feel that you've gotten your money's worth spending your time with them?

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.
It's the one thing that really pees me off with my Nexus 7, otherwise I'd say it's a bargain of a tablet. Android 4.x is passable.
I hope someone ports Mer to the Nexus 7 as it's pretty good and just needs a better OS.
Do something for the climate today! Anything!
I don't trust poeple without a Nokia n900...
