[Electronics-talk] Microsoft Surface Pro 2

[Christopher Chaltain]

You do want to stay aware from the Surface RT. I think Microsoft may be 
the only manufacturer still making an RT tablet, but all of the major 
manufacturers are making Windows tablets, Asus, Samsung, HP, Dell, 
Toshiba, Linovo and so on. Just make sure it's running the full version 
of Windows 8 and not Windows RT. If you want a Windows tablet, you don't 
have to get a Surface Pro from Microsoft. BTW, NVDA, JAWS and Windows 
Eyes all now support Windows 8.

>> Hi,
>>
>> I am in the process of researching/purchasing a tablet. At this point I am considering either an android tablet or going for an iPad. As an iPhone user (using voiceover), I am very familiar with the apple experience. I am interested in knowing anyone's experience using and android tablet and/or phone. How is talk back/explore by touch, are many third party applications accessible (like in is), any tips you have for me, and finally do you recommend I furthered explore android tablets? If you think I should explore Android tablets, do you have any specific recommendations? Obviously anything you can tell me helps! Oh, I am planning to use this tablet for light web browsing, some e-mail work, reading documents, and general media consumption (I know someone was going to ask me this).
