I'm curious what folks think. My uses are:
1) Forums and streaming video at home
2) Vacation -- journaling, e-mail, in-flight entertainment, looking at my photos (off my DSLR memory card)
"Pro" Android (either Samsung or Nexus)
> Already have Google & Amazon apps on my phone that would port (such as Gmail & Tapatalk & a few games)
> Better on-screen keyboard options
"Con" Android:
> Bluetooth keyboards that don't attach are more a pain when traveling
> Would need an adapter to connect my SD reader
"Pro" Surface:
> The upgraded keyboard is very nice and attaches instead of depending on Bluetooth.
> Can stream video in the browser directly
> Real OS means I don't need root to install adblockers or apps and can watch any video format I want
> USB 3.0
"Con" Surface:
> Resolution hasn't kept up with Android tablet devices
> 2GB RAM with Windows isn't really sufficient like it is with Android
> Need an adapter to drive an HDMI display.
