For the first few years I refrained from getting a tablet as I saw it as little more than an overpriced toy. But earlier this year, I bought my first tablet and it was one of the best purchases I ever made. Now when I’m commuting on the train, I can check emails, read a book or even go on Free Republic, which I now do on the train often. I found lots of great apps such as MyFitness Pal that tracks all my steps and other activity and adds the calories burned to what I can eat. It’s also now a remote control for my stereo and allows me to stream music to it. I can also use it for Netflix so when my wife is watching something lame on TV, I can plug in headphones and watch Sopranos without her complaining about all the swearing.
same here- i thought these types of devices were simply toys,too. with the amazon fire” tablet @ 49.99 it was such a good deal! it has 2 cameras, alarm clock, all those apps & emailing & if i had a cell phone i could syn it with that,too & along with this purchase i bought the amazon fire stick tv thingey-i have to tell you ——i always did like the sopranos & have been doing a marathon watching over the past few days......i’m in the last part of Season 6. that was some script wasn’t it? at the end of december i’m going to take the plunge & purchase amazon prime for 100$ it’s so worth it for the programming that’s available there . (i don’t have cable-have been using indoor antenna for quite a while)
you really can’t beat having one of these tablets
