Blackbeauty: I was actually thinking that when I get one I would be happy for it..I got the cubetalk tablet..truth be told..I miss having a mobile phone..The truth hit me hard after I got a tablet that I actually don't need one..Well,asides using it to read ,its virtually useless.

Firstly, its not sth I can carry about with ease.Asides the large screen size, it offers the same functions as a phone.Just my opinion tho..I think anyone is far better off with a normal 5 inch phone.In the end,u have to buy a smaller phone to use as a second device asides the tab which amounts to another waste of money.in the end..the tablet just sits there gathering dust once the initial buyer's high wears off.

My point is to ignore the hype and don’t buy one just “because everyone else is.” (This goes for any purchase.) Instead, make sure that it will really serve a function for you that your smartphone and laptop don’t. Otherwise, as magical as it may be, it’s just an expensive toy. To sum this whole thing up, I think tablets are a waste.

They fit right in between a full computer and a phone, and I do not see why we need another expensive piece of technology to bridge that gap. For some people, who do not need all the features that a laptop offers, I suppose it makes sense to buy a tablet. However, if you cannot live without your laptop, and you own a smartphone, I just do not see the reason to waste money buying an iPad or some other tablet.

How do you feel about the tablet revolution? can u honestly say you are fully utilizing your tablet? Do you think they are a waste of money?

nairalife2013: U are so on point girl. I got an ipad4 for my wife at 135k, itz now used by my maid to teach my kids nursery rhymes! d pad is just large, not flexible, u can't swab sims easily, u can't transfer data wid ease, u can't make regular fon call wid it, no space for sd card, she can't go wid it if she is not driving; I can't list all cos am doing so wid grit teeth!! Well, my kids(1yr+and2yr+) are now wizards at operating d clumsy device, cos itz no longer a novelty to their mom so she let's dem fiddle wid it at wil while clutching dearly to her new, more flexible lumia 630. Gosh!

QMark:
True. My Ipad is as useless as the penis of a catholic priest.

It's 2 years old. I haven't powered it up to 10 times. My laptop serves my table needs, while my phone serves my mobile needs.


You are m.ad





I think you need to check the meaning of "upwardly mobile professional"

Blackbeauty: People would always justify impulse expenses and poor finance choices..but that's the truth!the tab comes with a keyboard..in all honesty,can u compare the crappy keyboard cases to that of a laptop?

Blackbeauty: U actually picked the wrong person..if u had a little sense in that empty skull of yours...u would realize its my opinion.I didn't force u to open it and neither did I say u shouldnt buy a tablet..But again,what do I expect from low thinking,semi illiterate and unemployed sorry excuse for a human being?its a pity u cant read and comprehend simple English..please when u find an adult education school,forward your expenses to me.because u are really pathetic!

QMark:

UMP means professionals moving or aspiring to move to a higher social class or to a position of increased status or power. For example, a young professional seeking or working hard to improve his social or economic standing.

It was used in your statement as though it means professionals that are mobile.

I stand to be corrected though, as I love to learn too. After all, I no be English lecturer for U.I.

navistar: Hold on! When will Nigerian stop scrutinising their fellow country man on the choices he or she makes with his/her money? You can purchase a tablet to nt just to compensate for the shortcomings of a smart phone and a pc but for a variety of other reasons
1. Bigger screen estate which facilitate easier reading and better gaming experience amongst others *the bigger,the better*

2. It's fashionable! Yes!! It's a fashion accessory *sue me* the bigger the better.

3. It has features that smart phones and PC lack.. *google amazon tablet*

4. In the absence of a PC it helps to fill the gap

5. It's used by a certain niche of people *except the China ones*

6. Personal desire to own a bigger phone!! A phablet and tablet fulfils this.

7. It makes misguided people create hate topics on nairaland outta spite with nuances of ignorance.

On a closing note, if you so despise tablets! As ur less than intelligent topic and accompanying post claim. You can chose not to buy, ranting on a public forum just shows how unexposed, envious and impoverished you are.

ITbomb:
What do they use custom ROM for?

Mobsync: It depends on the tab one buys. There are tabs running on a stripped down version of windows (windows rt) and there're some running on full windows just like a laptop (e.g asus vivotab 8, hp 8 inches tab, toshiba encore 8 and 10 etc). Some are even running on Windows Pro (eg: dell venue 8 pro)




Apple products are not flexible. You could have gone for an android tab or even windows tab. All windows tab except those running on windows rt, operate just like laptops.
