Tablets etc

[Ecky]

...so my (almost) ten-incher is good for reading sites such as TWF and news.com.au in "desktop version" rather than in "mobile version".

There's this thing you do on the tablet that is about:debug in the web address bar and then change the UAString settings. Which I have done. (Android version 4.0.3 (release5a))

So why do this website and news.com.au still prompt me?

Any geeks know of these things and the permanent solution?

Coach needs to use a cookie i think to remember your preference, it is the one thing that annoys me on twf with a tablet as well

Strange. Mrs Shasta's Galaxy Tab has always done the web version with no tweaking. Like either of us cold do that anyway.

i've decided to part ways with my ipad and get a Note 10.1. only because the surface is so freaken expensive, and the apps just aren't there with microsoft as yet.

want more compatibility with movies, because i've started travelling more and more for work.

Have you already done this, or just planning to?

I (well, the boss does) have a Note 10.1, and a Sumsung Ativ Smart PC Pro (like a slate).

Both are great, and both have big pro's and cons - what you want it for?

Am going to.
Want more accessibility to load videos and music onto.
Apple isn't known for it's sharing... :/ which makes it a pain in the arse to convert everything. I just want to download it and upload it.

And I can log into my kobo & kindle accounts on android as well as IOS.


Essentially I use it for books, movies and browsing the Internet when I'm away for a few dads at a time & too lazy to take my laptop.
Want to look at photoshop on it as well because iPhoto is useless...

The HDMI E output on the note is handy as well because all tv's in camps & hotels have inputs.
USB charging is everywhere now as well

How many dads do you have..or are away for at a time?

Anyway...

Coach - what are the main pros and cons?

Note - Pros: light, stylus input, Android, ~ $500
Cons: Office (Word, Excel etc.) 'compatibility' but crashes when face with big doc etc. No photoshop (you mention photoshop?) It's still just a mobile device

PC Pro - Pros: It's a PC - can run anything your desktop can run including full Office, Photoshop etc. Stylus input, Fast. You can replace your laptop/desktop with this no need for tablet and PC. USB port for peripherals
Cons: 11.6 inch screen and weight make it not quite so mobile as compared with the Note. Runs WIndows 8, so lots of programs, but 'apps' are limited. Windows 8 hybrid 'Metro Interface' and PC interface can be a pain in the arse sometimes. For example, Internet Explorer in 'tablet mode' can;t do all that IE can do in PC mode - they are ultimately 2 different programs. From $900

Thanks coach.

I'm gonna run with the note 10.1, as soon as I get the hell out of Rockhampton and back home!

Have offloaded the iPad to a housemate which gives me a nice deposit on it
