Fisherman Posted October 12, 2011 Report Posted October 12, 2011 My wife finally got with the computerized world and bought a tablet, a Samsung Galaxy. After much cursing, foot stomping, swearing to go see a divorce lawyer, I got it to hook up to the wifi. Now I need a tablet, make it Advil. Why couldn't she take up fishing instead, fishing rods are so much easier to manage.
Sinker Posted October 12, 2011 Report Posted October 12, 2011 Don't worry, before you know it you will be using it all the time!! S.
PERCHER Posted October 12, 2011 Report Posted October 12, 2011 (edited) Dont feel bad I bought one to and since the wife touched it I havent seen it since.She loves it.The Galaxy is an awesome Tablet. Edited October 12, 2011 by Percher
irishfield Posted October 12, 2011 Report Posted October 12, 2011 You should have gone fishing and had her call a young internet lad over to take care of that!
danbouck Posted October 12, 2011 Report Posted October 12, 2011 Just wait 'til you get hooked on Angry Birds... waiting for the rio update
fishing n autograph Posted October 12, 2011 Report Posted October 12, 2011 Hahaha I have both the ipad and the playbook....wait till the kids start fighting over it!
misfish Posted October 12, 2011 Report Posted October 12, 2011 You should have gone fishing and had her call a young internet lad over to take care of that! I thought he was smarter then that too Wayne.
Fisherman Posted October 12, 2011 Author Report Posted October 12, 2011 I thought he was smarter then that too Wayne. Hey that's not funny, part 11 to this, I'm pretty good at following instructions, hook up the router, it blinks and beeps, does what its supposed to. Do you think that damm tablet would hook up to the wifi thingy, nooooo, a day later and a mobile tech shows up. He confirms I did everything right, finds out that the Tablet will only hook up if the highest security setting is enabled on the router. Time for another pill.
blaque Posted October 12, 2011 Report Posted October 12, 2011 My brother in law got an i-pad thru work. His 2 year old has taken it over. LOL Its actually quite amazing........at 2 he is scrolling thru his favorite games, doing i-puzzles, knows how to put his fingers on the screen and zoom in and out on the screen. Its hilarious to watch.
lhousesoccer Posted October 12, 2011 Report Posted October 12, 2011 I've been looking at tablets for a few months now. My wife is not into computers, but says she'd love a tablet for reading, having recipes in the kitchen at her finger tips etc. Not into the 3G ones - just Wi-Fi. I'm not an Apple person and hate how they force you through iTunes for everything and don't give you a direct way to load stuff onto the tablet via a USB. I've narrowed it down to the Motorola Xoom or the Samsung Galaxy. Xoom is $499 USD and the Galaxy is $599 USD for the 32gb versions. How much are they going for north of the border? Does anyone have experience with either than can tell me how they differ and whether it's worth another $100 for the Galaxy over the Xoom?

Hands down I would go with the Samsung they are known for there computers, tv and phones. Motorola isn't nearly as good in my mind. I own samsung for all my electronics from tv, computer lap top cant go wrong. I agree to apple is a pain in the neck. They a great product but cost an arm and a leg to get them and the accessories for them. Spend the extra 100 and get something that will last. And has a good name behind it.

grimsbylander Posted October 12, 2011 Report Posted October 12, 2011 I bought my wife an ipad2 a couple weeks ago. Haven't seen her since. Can't wait for the ipad3 to come out.

If you look hard enough I'm sure you can find a route $ wise you aren't that far off in pricing if you guys are dropping $500 plus for one. and when you occupy 80% of the tablet market it's unfortunate but 3rd party vendors will charge a premium for accessories.

No cursing, foot stomping, or swearing required!
Remastered Posted October 12, 2011 Report Posted October 12, 2011 Get the iPad 2. It's way better and if you hold it sideways posting on OFC will be a breeze. You'll never need a desktop for posting again lol
eman Posted October 12, 2011 Report Posted October 12, 2011 I have an Ipad, really cool. I haven;t checked for any free apps or fishing games....any suggestions?
OutdoorDan Posted October 13, 2011 Report Posted October 13, 2011 I bought my wife an ipad2 a couple weeks ago. Haven't seen her since. Have you considered marriage counselling as a career option, sir?

IMO the best system is Android....and they are only getting stronger!
