Why i am getting rid of my tablet, at least when i am mobile...

I've had an ipad for a while, in the beginning I hardly used it at all, I read some books or watched some video/tv on it occasionally, but mostly at home.

But after a while I found what I think is the tablet sweetspot, and that is a "digital newspaper". Kindle is arguably better for reading books, a "ultrabook" is arguably better compromise if you want to both author and consume content. The mobile is best for taking photos/checking your email etc.

Nothing beats the iPad however when it comes to catching up with news on the train/airplane/café/sofa. Apps like Flipboard and Zite offers a better reading/discovery experience than even on a laptop I'd argue with interfaces free from clutter, magazine like layouts and personalization.

I have a hard time seeing me lugging around anything the size of the Note all the time...

I use my iPad for one thing and one thing only: Making Music.

Its an absolutely fantastic synthesis platform! Nothing beats firing up the iPad(s) (I have a few for this purpose in my studio now) and having all controls available in a touch interface. This is, in my opinion, the one market segment in which the tablet computer really shines, and I say this as a person with a room full of real synthesizers to play with. The software-synthesis realm has been screaming for such capabilities for years, and the tablet delivers in this department ..

After getting the Galaxy note, no more tablet for me. Its slightly bigger size but not so much to make it in convenient. It still fits inside my pocket.
