The Lenovo K1 tab looks pretty nifty. Wonder how it compares to the iPad 3.

That tablet is previous generation, like the Motorola Xoom, and does not compare with the iPad 3.

You need to look at tablets like the Asus Infinity 700 to compare with the iPad 3.

The new Android tablets are all full HD with multiple cores.

I recon I'll be getting the iPad3 if FNB releases it soon - my first Apple devices

To many quality control issues or downfalls with the Android tablets.

This data isn't based on a survey, and the previous sats excluded updated figures from Samsung and Vodacom. Arthur (Goldstuck) sent through the updated info following the publication of the previous article.

Was the thread deleted? There was an interesting post in there about the amount of iOS traffic vs other mobile devices.

Yeah. The data from SA closely mirrored the stats that Boingo released a few month ago. What I found interesting is that I expected the data to be quite different based on SA being such a poor county compared to the USA, but it wasn't

We are remarkably up to date compared to Asia, Europe or North America. We adopt tech really quickly.
This is in contrast to places like Mozambique that advertises "MP3 Phones".

No one forces you to join the cult of mac when you buy one.

Drops in the Ocean compared to many other countries. We really are just a puddle in a swamp on the butt end of the world.

I don't like spec sheets. I prefer something that you can see and pick up in a store.

SA shops are not good at that.

I look at specs, reviews, and then press a button.

I'm starting to feel the same way, I just dont have the time to mess about with a device everything needs to just work out the box. Plus in my opinion apple supports their devices better.

I tried, I swear

In any case, by owning a tablet/smartphone you are going to browse the web. The w3school results are probably the most reliable IMO:

That excludes iPad, have to plug it into a PC first.

I don't think the iFred needs to be tethered.

Nonsense. Not since iOS 5.
