Atmmachine: Some nairalanders needs to travel out of Nigeria.

My Ipad has a sim card & i make calls with it.
You bought the Ipad with only wifi connectivity.
If you want a tablet that makes call, go & buy Ipad wifi + 3g

Wifi can make calls also with special apps and even through face book messenger free phone feature.. I use it all the time to call international with friends on face book..

But yes with 3G is more convenient because the wifi calls only possible in a wifi connection zone... I guess 3G is very wide coverage on the go... I dont spend time on the phone, like only 1 call a week or even less... So no problem and i keep a cheap basic phone when i need to receive or make calls....

quinfayva: so not true, for a student it serves as an electronic library for all your textbooks you dont have to carry all your textbooks around.For those presenting seminars you save money and energy printing different materials for seminar praacticals,you just present with your pad.Bonus points your snap lecture notes from projectors (for those of us in ajebutter schools) ,you can also travel with it conveniently when travelling for short duration, ditching your heavy and space occupying laptop.The key point is don't buy gadgets because of hype but because you have need of it.plus playing games eg fruit ninja and temple run is sooooooo awesome on your pad lol just had to add that.

Sorry to disturb you ow. Just to tell you that my Tecno P5 performs all the above functions

Reasons why my Samsung galaxy note 10.1 is preferred to my laptop are thus:
1. The battery of Samsung galaxy note lasts longer than laptop
2. The screen interface and resolution of Samsung galaxy is much better
3. Samsung galaxy browses faster than laptops
4. You don't need to buy a modem to use Samsung galaxy, just insert sim card
5. You can comfortably carry your note/tablet and enjoy internet services without recourse to any particular modem.
6. You don't need to punch buttons or become a typist to use your tablets, a screen touch does the job.
7. You can confidently write and make notes with Samsung galaxy 10. 1
8. You can use your Samsung galaxy note in the church to read Bible verses and jot down points.
9. You can still attach written notes to your email or print direct from the printer
10. You can snap sharp pictures to keep memories with your note/ tablet
11. You can still make calls with your Samsung galaxy note
12. I can check my office mail and other emails anywhere anytime
13. As you can see, my Samsung galaxy note 10.1 is my best friend

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?

[b]

Well miss.... I guess you don't know how to utilize it potentials

Tablet is the pure mobile version of PC (especially Android powered Tablet

As a Student: (though smart phones can still do this things but with Tablet Big screen it's an advantage)
1. You can use it to read books more conveniently than the way you do with your Laptop or Desktop PC
2. Tablet Book readers tends to support more Ebook format and features compare to PC book readers e.g Moon+ Reader can read your ebooks of any format while you do the listening.
Polaris Office can also read your word document while you do the listening (though I've not tried this on my PC but it's really handy on a Tab)
3. Tablet are more easier to carry around, maybe to surf the net, read books play music or watch videos than PC
5. Good Tablet Battery last longer than conventional laptops or Smartphone... Laptops last 4 to 6hrs (except MacBook and some ultra books which cost a fortune)
6. You can easily connect to the Internet with a Tablet than in PC
7. AND MANY MORE

And as a working class........ You have more

Bode2: that's too harsh. You can still rebuke someone perceived to be your adversary without using those acidic and bitter words cos we are all emotional being and beside, there is nothing mature in what you've just posted even a JSS 1 girl can come up with those words of insult. Please stop being childish cos you should have learnt that not everyone will pitch the same tent with you when it comes to opinion and argument. You seem to be brilliant but please watch your attitude cos you might find yourself in a place where you have to deal with different clients or customers.
. well,I actually didn't mean to say all that..its just that it pisses me off to find people coming to a public forum and calling a poster names. I just gave him a taste of his own medicine.

Mcslize: OP I don't agree with your assertion. Ipad and Tablet PC have alot of importance. Unless you do not know what to do with it rather than play games and watch videos that is only when you can say Ipad and Tablets are not different from smart phones.

For those who know the value of Ipad and Tablet , they will tell you it means alot to them especially students. You need not buy all the textbooks when your ipad or Tablet can store all the soft copies of those Books for you and can read them anywhere you are; in the Bus, in your house , in the Canteen. It will make reading easy for you cuz at every moment you can turn on your Tablet and glance through a page.

For business persons, it serves alot of importance. You can save lots of your business files in your Ipad or Tablet and check your mails every time not to miss out any important mail sent to you as it is so portable to be carried about. I prefer the 7inches Ipad or Tablet if you are the type that do not like over size Tab.

In all and all OP your claim may not hold true for everyone if only you know the importance of Ipad or Tablet PC. It is not for fancy. They are meant to ease your work.

and u can do all dis on any mobile phone even a java phone..(nt for u d quoted dude)y own a tablet, an ipad and anoda smart phone,its either u are stupid and u re trying to use d gadgets cover up on ur stupidity.

Hmm sounds tempting sir, but it seems my 5" smart phone can do all these effortlessly as well, but with the added convenience of being able to slide it in my trouser or shirt pocket when I'm done with it. . . There's gotta be a more striking selling point to justify that 100k+ investment nau
