I bought a 10" Android tablet from Aldis for $65. It works very well, except that it doesn't run Foxtel Go. Very handy if one's wife is hogging the computer.
When I go overseas though, I'll be taking my 5.5" Android phone and a 10" Windows Netbook - it's much easier to run programs one knows, like Office and Photoshop Elements.
The saddest thing I see overseas is people using their Ipads, Iphones and Samsung phones to take pictures of their trip. Yes, there are a few smart phones that take good picture. But most such gadgets produce far poorer pictures than what a $100 point-and-shoot camera can do. I once looked at lots of photos taken on an overseas trip by IPhone and Samsung Galaxy 3 - my thoughts were, what a waste of a trip, as only about a third of the photos I would have rated as okay.
