    Step one is budget, step two is OS, then look for features, then look at flaws.

    Compare data and decide on compromise.

    oh trust me,,, ive got a price range in mind, but dont wanna get pigeonholed by saying it.. also, i know the various OS's.. im looking for user input.

    Like it doesnt need 3G, ive got a data plan and an iphone with teathering/personal hotspot

    storage is nice, but not super needed, music goes on iPhone. Removable/expandable storage is nice. size is good too, nothing too small, but dont need giant, ive got a macbookpro..

    You won't be able to find any 7-8" tablets with good screens/hardware specs.

    Trend is moving towards 10" being the typical size.

    Means more money for the same crap as a smaller one.

    I picked up the iPad 3. So far I love it. My dell died and I had plenty of bestbuy gift cards so the $500 new was about $375 with taxes. I also have the iPhone 4 which I love so I'm happy

    Nexus 7 is the bomb for the price. The iPad is better, but at less than half the price the nexus takes the cake for me. I haven't looked at the windows tablets yet but they looked good for how much I've looked at them.

    But with you having a macbook and an iPhone, an iPad would fit right in there.

    False. That used to be the case, until the nexus 7.

    yeah the nexus 7 16gb seems to be what im leaning towards. Totally affordable as a tablet.. plus has android, could run torque app on it..
    ive got lots of apple products, i enjoy them, but i like to broaden my horizons.

    I really want to run torque on mine, but I don't really want to get the Bluetooth adapter yet, especially when I have HPT it has GPS too if you want to use it for that, you just have to look up the route before you leave.

    Asus Transformer TF101, I bought it when the prime came out so it was cheaper. Hdmi, micro sd, bluetooth and one of the only tablets to have a good dock/keyboard available.
