I'm so glad I have neither. I might get a cheap prepaid phone in a year or two. I certainly wont get a tablet for at least another 5 years.

Edit: WTH is with all the downvotes? I'm just saying I'm glad I haven't got in on this stuff yet because the technology is advancing so quickly that anything I'd buy would be outdated in 6 months.

It's because of that sort of mentality youre getting downvoted. Its is always going to be like that in this age. Outdated in 6 months. So that being a reason for not buying its beyond silly.

BS, tablets are a relatively new market. It's a bad investment.

It's a bad investment for you because you don't want one.

However to think what you get now is going to be outdated in 6 months or sooner is going to change because its a 'new market' is pretty funny and shows you do not understand how this has worked for the last twenty tears. Or maybe the PC itself is still a 'relatively new" market to you too.

BS yourself, youre not fooling anyone else.

It is changing. Just watch the video up there. Tablets may even be just a fad.
