Tablets- Android Vs. Ipad
I killed my laptop a few months ago (needs a harddrive and 6 years old) and I think I want a tablet to replace. We have another laptop in the house (MacBook), so a second seems unneccessary.
I'm on the road a fair bit and have intermittant access to wifi. 3g/4g isn't an issue most of the time. I want to be able to watch movies, read books, news, email etc.
I've been looking at the Asus Tranformer Prime and the Ipad as potential replacements.
Ice Cream Sandwich seems like a fairly smooth operating system and the Tranformer has a add on docking station if I need to use it as a "laptop." Ipad apparently has the most apps and I'm assuming it would tether to the MacBook better.
Questions:
When not connected to wifi how do you watch movies? I'm assuming there is a way to download them to the tablet.
Can news be downloaded and read later without a wifi connection?
How much data does streaming netflix on a 3g connection use?
Or should I just by a cheap laptop with dvd player?
