I am really excited to take the tablet plunge but I have a few questions from the experts before I do.
Question 1: Do they sell toughbook/hard cases for them? Mostly I will be using it indoors on a couch but I will also be using it at work where I am outside a lot, does rainfall affect these things severely?
Question 2: How does surfing the internet and such work? For example, I know you can use a tablet to browse the internet and search the market and stuff but like, do I have to pay a carrier dependent on what kind I get for an additional data package? Right now I have a T-mobile service, galaxy S android phone. Do I have to buy a T-mobile tablet, and do I have to pay them for an additional data package for the tablet?
Question 3: What is "wi-fi" only? I know what wifi is but saying "wifi only" meaning....I cant ethernet into a computer or something for internet? Sorry, stupid question
Question 4: Do tablets come with stylus' usually? Do you guys recommend getting them? Also, what is the hype over the keyboards, what other accessories do you guys recommend?
Question 5: I know this should belong in the sticky thread but: Motorola XOOM vs Transformer Prime. I will be using my tablet for work mainly (we just went pure digital, paperless environment), but also a lot for browsing and a few games. Now my question is, with price not being an issue, is it worth the wait to get the prime, do I need that kind of power or is it just overkill when you are mainly just working with a lot of pdf and text documents? I really dont want to wait this device will be a huge organizer for me, and I will upgrade next christmas either way. What do you guys think?
Oh and also, is the XOOM rootable? I'm limited with rooting knowledge and I didn't see anything on amazon that said you could root it.
Thanks for your help in advance!
