pappy2000:


I can assure you that its ok n its according to uk standard got a lot of good review from Amazon n major retailers
I am not saying that the ones you bought from UK are substandard,what I am trying to say is that there is no such thing as made in UK tablet as all available tablets are assembled and manufactured in China.

Which lecturer taught you that ?? or Are you a learner ??

Most Tablets are made in china not all tablets are made in china

My 2 cents is that etisalat service is best data-wise. Don't know about the machines.

If etisalat's service is strong where you are located, I'd advice you give it a go cause their speed os something to be reckoned with. As regards a tablet, there are many good tablets out there but I'd personally recommend an iPad. Aside functionalities and stuffs, there are almost any application you would need at Apple's app store.

Anywayz, the choice is yours for the making.

Anyone with experience with the windows surface tablet?
Re: Best Tablet To Use With Nigerian Telecoms (MTN, Glo)? by AbrantieGH(m): 12:06pm On Feb 25, 2013
OP, read this carefully. There are two versions of Windows 8 on tablets. What you want is MICROSOFT SURFACE PRO tablet. It runs the souped up version of Windows 8 which blows all other tablets (Android or Apple) out of the water. MS Surface Pro makes other tablets feel like kids toys.

Thank me later.

You are right... But one thing is certain, you will get for you to get certain apps. Windows mobile is great and lovely but the thing is, there aint much apps available for devices running Windows mobile OS compared to Apple's.

Well, talking about apps, Apple is the undisputed champion as almost every developer wants to develop something that is iOS compatible before thinking of other platforms like Android. Android do have a good number of apps at its disposal too.

My friend, Windows 8 is NOT WinMo.

It's full blown Windows (not a mobile OS), but for touchscreens, capable of running exisitng Windows apps and the new apps.

Do this: Go and pick one up at a store and try it for 15 days. If you don't like it, return it with some flimsy excuse.

I guess with time, windows 8 will probably catch up with ios and android on the apps issue. Then, I might consider switching over to windows.

For now, I don't think win8 can do as much as what ipad and android tablets can do. Just check out app store and Google play store and see that windows still have a long way to go. It seems as if app developers only focus on ios and android.
Re: Best Tablet To Use With Nigerian Telecoms (MTN, Glo)? by AbrantieGH(m): 12:29pm On Feb 25, 2013
Let me explain it this way - Apple's iOS and Android are phone OSes (with minimal functionality) which were optimized to work on tablets.

Windows 8 was just release late last year. It was designed from the ground up as a full desktop/laptop OS to work on tablets. You will not lose any of the functionailty you currently enjoy on your Windows machine.

Dude, Windows 8 has more apps than any of those because you can run ANY currently exixting Windows app, from Microsoft Excel to Photoshop, you name it, it will run on the MS Surface Pro tablet.

Google is your friend -- do some research.

I know what you are saying fully well. I love Windows 8, both using it on PC and the mobile version (tablets and mobile phones). Just saying there are much expected apps which he would hope to enjoy on a regular tablet that are not having desktop versions.. Do you get what i mean?

I don't think so. The new win8 apps a.k.a metro apps optimized for touchscreen, are the only apps that will run flawlessly on win 8 tablets. To run earlier win7 softwares (I won't call them apps) you will need a bulkier Intel processor-powered win8 tablet/laptop. And those win7 softwares are not even optimized for touchscreen usage.

I don't understand. Microsoft also has an online marketplace with about 120,000 apps and groqwing. You can download apps on to your Win 8 tablet the same way as with Android or IPad.

In addition to that, you can also install any existing Windows apps.

Lexusgs430: A blackberry playbook in conjunction with a 3G enabled blackberry phone + BIS. One of the best investment you will make this year.
Its the best combination, in Nigeria's present telecom setup.
This sounds good.
Please is the tethering of both devices done by bluetooth alone? Can the Playbook be tethered via Wifi Hotspot too?

Miscrosoft released the SURFACE PRO tablet late last year. It is not bulky. It is pretty much the same weight as an iPad or most Android tablets.

Type "Microsoft Surface Pro" into google and do your research.

Secondly, Microsoft is releasing touchscreen or "metro" versions of their bread-and-better software (ms office etc). They'd all be available at their marketplace if not already.

I personally wouldn't be caught dead lugging around a laptop AND a tablet ever again as most business people tend to do now.

You can't accomplish any serious work or an iPad or Android tablet.Those other tablets are only good for checking your mail, going on facebook or to show off that you have a tablet.

Why are people so dumb,did I mention that the Slate is out?
The Slate is already due for release in April,I find the specifications so impressive for a low end tablet and that's why I suggested it for the OP.

I know what you are saying. Microsoft's AppStore is growing for sure buh for now you wont compare it with Apple's nearly 300,00 apps that were built specifically for the iPad, not to talk of the fact that you can still run all iPhones apps on the iPad. Apps on Apple's AppStore is almost clocking a million.

Guy! I love the surface very well. If good enough apps were optimized at this juncture, I would choose it over the iPad even though I am an Apple fan.
