I think the interesting point about discussions of tablets is how often people ask 'should I buy Apple or Samsung' not being aware that there are many, many other choices.

Shame that BBC article didnt take into account the new surface pro due out next month which is a laptop in a tablet form running windows 8 and can run all windows software.cabstar wrote:
When you say the iPad or android tablet can't do very much in which way do you mean?
Simply put, a personal computer allows you to pretty much install any software you like. Tablets such as iPads and Android generally only allow you to use small, relatively simple applications. They don't have keyboards so are very slow for typing. You can't normally expand them by changing the hard drive or to add external devices.When you say the iPad or android tablet can't do very much in which way do you mean?

Was that with the hdmi adaptor John? That's something I have never tried.
I use my iPad in the club where it's not possible for me to leave the laptop hanging around, splashing drinks and possible theft. I have my iPad in a waterproof holder slung over my shoulder. Looking at getting an eyefi card so i can edit on the go.

If you intend using flash I would go with the k10d just for the better handling.
For around £200 £250 you can get a k20d or even a k-7

If you mean the Microsoft surface pro yes that will be e ultimate photo tool. I had a Fujitsu stylistic windows tablet around 7 or 8 years ago and apart from the thickness was very good, if I remember correctly it ran windows XP and I ran photoshop on it back then...greynolds999 wrote:

I would recommend either a Slate or other Windows tablet. You get full-blown Windows which means Photoshop (or whatever you prefer) SD, USB and everything else that makes a computer a computer.
There's nothing wrong with iPads or Android tablets, they just don't do very much.
No argument from me. Makes perfect sense I'll prepare for a big argument here.

Simpltransfer is great for transferring from pc to iPad
I can print to my brother printer fine with the brother app
Never have an issue with Dropbox or MS Skydrive
I don't recall being able to print on my android tablet
I agree file transfer is easier on the android tablet than iPad but once you use Simpltransfer life becomes easier.

Surface pro does look pretty neat and as you say can run lightroom and photoshop on it...
Could be a game changer, I know a lot of photographers are excited by it and it come with intel i5 and 4gb I believe...

Is e extra battery another pentax or OEM. Brand?
The thought of a new body with two year warranty makes it worth whilst for me to do...
