I am retired have been using a Pandigital Novel for a year now and really like it, great to travel with, use it mostly for email, web surfing, word documents and You Tube. I think its time to kick it up a bit, being on Fixed income I;m looking at a Vizio 8 referb or something like it for around $150. I think that Tablets are in their early stages just like flat screen TVs were when first introduced, in other words you will be able to get the works for a lot less. I think the tablets are the key to the automotive infotainment systems just need a place to mount them in the vehicle.
