I am wanting to purchase a Android tablet, primary uses being the following:

1. Web Browsing (50%)
2. Email (25%)
3. Movies/TV Shows (25%)

These are the main reasons why I am getting a tablet.

I was hoping someone could shed some light on this. Web browsing is heavy usage, so would like to have a fast load time. Email is done via GMAIL (My work enviroment has GMAIL as their back drop). Movies, generally I load them on via my computer (So the USB feature seems to be cool). I also use Netflix (on my current Ipad).

I travel quite a bit so having the ability to have a longer battery life is great!

The Ipad is good, but GMAIL is limited functions on there. Web browsing is limited and movies suck on a 4:3 screen ratio. Hence the reason to move to a new tablet.

Would like to see what you reccomend: I like the 10" models

Here are the ones I have deceded on, in no particular order:

1. Toshiba Thrive
2. Samsung Galaxy 10.1
3. Acera Iconia

I would like to know what you guys think which tablet will fit my usage the best.

Look frward to your response! Thanks in Advance!

Welcome. Out of those three, I would recommend the thrive for its full size ports. I own a xoom personally.

I think the Thrive would serve your needs very nicely. It's quickly becoming very popular around here.
