It was worth a shot!!!

My battle was basically:

**A couple months ago**
Want a tablet, but which one?
**Does research**
Everyone love the transformer... but I like the sexyness of the galaxy Tab 10.1 and the connectivity of the Toshiba Thrive.
**Contemplates**
Oh look, they are talking about a new Thrive with the sexyness of a Galaxy Tab, they may be a good choice too...
**Contemplates some more**
Girlfriend asks "Why do you really need a tablet anyway... or do you just want one?"
**Contemplates the needs vs wants**
Okay, I don't really need a tablet right now and there are better things to spend my money on at the moment
**Transformer Prime announced/confirmed**
:cus:

The Prime is simply ridiculous. I've been holding off on tables, but the Prime may be too good to pass up. The keyboard attachment is pretty cool. Much better than the crappy Moto phone laptop docks.

We shall see... muahahaha

On another note for all you rumor lovin' kids out there, here are the links that I find interesting from overnight and this morning:

Samsung unveils Cortex-A15 2GHz Exynos 5250 SoC - Sammy Hub
Korean Galaxy Nexus to have an extended 2,000mAh battery - GSMArena.com news
Confirmed: ASUS Transformer Prime Releasing in US Starting December 8th
Android Overload: Galaxy Nexus Hitting Japan Dec 2nd, AT&T Is Not Happy With FCC’s Released Report and More

Lol, i dont know. I think ill post my normal way today. I think if we do have a competition again itl be next week, realistically having a competition everyday would get old i think. It clearly wouldn't be as entertaining as yesterday. Epic fights always have their breaks anyway If we are close at the end of today id definitely post a couple for the lead but nothing amounting to yesterdays click fest. Maybe next weeks will be more epic. Idk, stay tuned for round 2 next week i guess. :biggrin: Its not like truss can beat me next time or anything. Clearly is a slow at typing .

And to reply on topic i think a 2000 mah is better then a 1850 mah but clearly weak considering thats only a 150mah difference. i can imagine that being much more money. And i love the fcc thing. At&t cant be happy campers right now. Its always interesting to see their view in their reactions to things regarding the merger. They clearly have an everest to climb to get it to go through now and they have to choose their words carefully if they dont completely blow it.

I want the prime. I will get it once its cheaper then its initial release. Its keyboard and 18 hour battery life are sick. thats better then my netbook. since all i do is surf on my netbook, the prime would suit me nicely.

Exactly. The price of the tablet, plus the keyboard puts it way out of my budget...for now

Another iPhone catches fire, this time in Brazil

I think that Apple and Paramount Pictures are taking this PR campaign for the new Mission Impossible movie a little too far...

I think with any product in the millions you are bound to get one or two that have just completely lost it. Murphy's law ya know? Some will catch on fire... because it can, so it will.
