While as all this is going on I have decided that it was time to check out two new small slates on the market.
First let me say that I love the new smaller size. Yes I have the iPad 4 with retina display - big and beautiful. Yes I have the iPad mini - that's another review? Hmmm as I write this I will review it here too.
OK, so I will be low tech about this ... the Samsung is attractive, has an IR port so you can use a nice remote feature for your t.v.
It is also chunky and heavy for its size. It is a brick
as well in operating, slow to respond and the display is disappointing.
iPad mini is larger, familiar OS, which frankly is quite dull, but keeps us content. Display is disappointing, considering the price point. Touch screen not as responsive as its parent product.
Then there is the Nexus 7 2013. Pure android. Awesome display, excellent response, super battery life, comfortable form factor. Affordable @ 230.00 excellent bang for your hard earned buck.
I wrote this entire blog using my Nexus slate and to perfectly honest I can't put it down. It's very engaging.
The camera is fun too. The panoramic capture is nice and as far as mobile device cameras go I am satisfied with the result
All my mobile devices are 16 GB, and have never required more, for some there is a small draw back it lacks expandable storage. This is taken care of with cloud storage (Dropbox, Google Drive to name two), just like the iPad mini.
Samsung however does have micro SD slot. I still returned it the next day.
It performs auto backup end easy restore, similar to is apple counterpart, you only have to re-enter you credentials.
Enough yap... Just try one of these sleeper tablets. You will not be disappointed.

Its an A in my humble opinion.
Its hot today... Muggy.
