He's a computer geek and wanted an Android tablet instead of an iPad because there are more ways a geek can screw around with an Android tablet. I'm really impressed with it. The screen is very nice, the internet browser it has built in is fast and renders sites accurately, and it has a built-in GPS (iPads do only with the 3G versions, the Samsung has it on the wifi only version my son has). I want one to use as a portfolio, but couldn?t afford a second copy for me. Mack loves his though and uses it constantly. -- Chris Crawford Fine Art Photography Fort Wayne, Indiana 260-437-8990 http://www.chriscrawfordphoto.com My portfolio http://blog.chriscrawfordphoto.com My latest work! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Christopher-Crawford/48229272798 Become a fan on Facebook On 5/1/12 11:15 PM, "Phil Swango" <pswango at att.net> wrote: >I was in Costco recently and saw a Vizio Android tablet for $189 >(originally $349).
