What's the best 10-inch tablet for the money?

[MrX8503]

I'll take the tablet that can do things I could do on my PC a decade ago, like attach files to e-mails.

What does this have to do with the screen?

FINALLY! Somebody finally got the memo that tablets aren't selling by the metric boatload by catering to cellar dwelling geeks and single 20 something hipsters.

"Kid mode" is something that has been desperately missing from any of the OS flavors.

Amazon Kindle Fire HD has "kid mode" as of the latest update. The Nook HD also has facility for multiple users.

Say I'm lounging around on my couch watching football and neffing on ATOT at the same time, and I want to change the channel really quickly like a ninja, because ninja is awesome and is ultimately powerful, I can do so without looking for remotes. Oh, and because I want to. You have to be a terrorist to hate having the freedom to change channel at once. Why do you hate America?

In all seriousness, all the tablets now pretty much do the same damn things, I'm looking for that next edge that one does while others don't.

Directv has remote apps for Android and iOS. On iOS you can watch shows too.

What tablet can't do that ?

been messing around the lenovo yoga 13. Pretty sweet device. I'd say, the battery life is marginally worse than my nexus 7, and it's running an i5!

Boot times are amazing. from scratch it's some where around 4 seconds. wtf. Wow, my iOS device doesn't boot that fast!

iPad. You can't attach many things.

But honestly, you're typically attaching pics, pdfs, docs, things you can already attach on the iPad. He just wants to be able to attach APKs, Zip Files, etc. I find that necessary 1 day a year probably.

I just tested it right now, using my GS3 running ICS and an iPhone running iOS 6.

I went into each phone's mail program, viewed an e-mail, hit "reply" and tried to attach a file.

Unfortunately in iOS 6, there is no option to attach a file to an e-mail. In ICS, this is what I saw:

Apparently you can only attach videos and pictures from the email screen and only find that out by long pressing the compose screenm and only one of these. I thought apple hated hidden menu features?

Arbitrary files need to be selected from outside the email app in order to be sent.

Actually extremely stupid functionality.

Not to mention that you can't attach multiple types of files in iOS either.

Can you actually download files using the browser on iOS? I always assumed you could but know that I think about it you might not be able to due to not having any sort of file system access.

You need to select it from perspective programs (Pictures/Video from Pictures) to attach to/compose email. If you want to send Documents and Pictures, you can't send it from the same email, you'll need to compose different email from each 'program' on iOS. IIRC

I hope they fire the guy who thought of that.

Oh wait, they did.

I'm not sure about native Safari, but with Atomic you can download files and transfer them to your PC or open them in iOS if they are a supported file type. If you are jailbroken (and why would you not be ...) you can also do this with Safari.
