Funny, but I like certain features from each of these tablets, but I can't afford all four (when they finally are able to be purchased). For me, the iPad is a known quantity, and has only gotten better, but I'm still fascinated by the competition, especially the PlayBook, with QNX, and its smaller form factor. I think that I might like something that fits in a (large) pocket, but has a bigger screen than my iPhone.</p>
