The meet would be fun ....although I am thinking of boycotting it next year in disgust of the decision to axe the lovely Suzi Perry.

I actually see the iPad as almost a seperate entity from "The tablet market" - Its like the iPad is more of a finished product / Appliance , whereas Android tablets are generic chunks of hardware. I'd never consider replacing my iPad with an Android tablet in the way that I replaced my iPhone with the Galaxy Note , but I would certainly buy one as an additional toy.

Which actually reminds me , a few years back (pre-iPad) I predicted that I'd faithfully stick to the iPhone until a point when Android handsets were good enough ...and then I'd have an Android "flagship" and an iPod touch - it has just struck me that I have now reached that point , only using an iPad instead of an iPod touch. If I didn't have an iPad I am not sure I'd have been so keen to lose the iPhone , I feel like I need to keep my nose into iOS in some way !
