Resolved Question

What tasks for which tablet?

Dec 27, 2014 6:17AM PST

A few years ago I received a Kindle Fire and this year I received a DigiLand tablet. I enjoy both, but want to keep each tablet separate. Which features are outstanding on each tablet, and which tablet should be used for certain tasks?

More to chose from still good prices.

I admit I started with an iPad 2. It was easy, fluid and it synced all my information back and forth.
Then a more portable iPad mini and now an iPad Air.
However, somewhere in here I purchased my first smart phone, a Samsung Galaxy S3. If I weren't gadget addicted before, I was then.
I have upgraded to a Note 3 phone and added to my tablet family with the Note 8 and Note 10.1

I have nothing against the Kindle fire as a tablet. My sister loves hers and it does some of what mine do.
I expect my tablet to come close to replacing a laptop, without all the trouble.
I expect a beautiful screen, fast operation and the ability to sync between platforms and transfer information.

The digiland is to the Note 8 , as the yugo is to a new toyota .
(I am having a vision of Crocodile Dundee saying, "that's not a tablet, THIS is a tablet!" )
You should be able to do your banking, pay bills, write and send email, save, store and retrieve information and photos, print, receive scans, produce a power point type presentation, edit photo and video, then publish, store personal information like login and passwords in encrypted formats, social network, and on.....
I believe the digiland has a limited storage, sad.
Again, the fire is not bad.
I would pick a Google nexus over it any day for the price.

Frankly, ditch the Digiland

It's often that 50 buck gift tablet that has folk screaming about learning the ins and outs of Android where as the Fire has a fine ecosystem and is above average on many points.

The Digiland I saw was not a keeper.

I do understand that the Digiland isn't the most quality product, but is there an features that are worth using, in particular?

It was so low grade.

The 50 dollar model was so low grade that it's best quality is the low price and maybe could be re-purposed as photo frame. It looked that bad.

The "realpad" sounds pretty good to me. I don't own either one. There are a few very good one out there.
