Q. I am looking to purchase a tablet like the IPad. Which is the most used and good for the money?
A. The best one out there is the iPad 2.
The reason why it is the best is because of the large library of apps and the continuing support of the product in spite of its high privce (though only $20 more expensive than the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1).
Android tablets are all over the place, some running 2.2 (obsolete), 3.0 (better but coming to the end of its life so little future development) or 4.0 (the future of Android tablets but not yet available).
Lots of Android tablets have had poor sales and have resulted in the manufacturer suspending prodution (the Dell Streak for example).
The HP Touchpad was a failure and is being abandoned along with its excellent WebOS operating system.
The Blackberry Playbook has had a dismal sales record and lacks native email and messaging that would have made it a game changer. If you have a Blackberry device I'd strongly consider getting this one--but RIM is doing poorly and future support is in doubt.
Then there are the Kindle Fire/Nook tablets that are cheaper, but less capable (more reader than tablets).

Can I use the android market to buy apps for my nook color?
Q. Looking through a forum I saw someone say that the android market had a "nook tweak" app that worked well. When I tried to download it, an error message said "There are no Android phones associated with this account. Please sign in with a different account" Is there a way to connect them? Or am I stuck with only the barnes and noble store which stinks!!! Help please. I'm new at this!
A. I was looking into the Nook Color and while I realized that it is a sh*tty ebook reader and a sh*tty tablet that isn't worth the cost, the main thing that initially attracted me to it was that the sales person said that the Nook Color worked with Android Apps.
If I were you, I'd go onto the Nook Color Forum and ask this question there because it was made REALLY clear to me that Android Apps work with the NC right out of the box.

How much will Google Chrome OS tablets and netbooks cost?
Q. Hey does anyone know how much a Google Chrome OS Netbook or tablet PC cost? I need a rough estimate so I can save up enough money. Also how long do you think until they will be out and available, I know Google Chrome OS is due to be finished and official released later this year, but will a tablet already be available ?
A. The price is going to depend on the hardware. Maybe $50-$100 less than their Windows 7 counterpart.
I've seen some Chinese made Android/Chrome tablets that are being marketed for under $100 in domestic stores, which means that they will be maybe $200 if they get to the US due to tax and company markups.
I've also seen some Android/Chrome tablets that have an estimated price of over $700, but less if you take out a data contract.
Some tablets are on sale right now, mostly only in Asia. So the hardware will be ready in the US by the sumer this year, and most certainly in time for the holiday sales in fall/winter.
At best guess, aim to save $500. That will but you an iPad. Everybody is aiming to either undercut the iPad in terms of price, or to beat it in terms of performance, so if you can afford an iPad then you will be able to afford the competition, too.
