I think the only tablet that I would look at beside I pad is the samsung 10.1 that will be out in a few days .

There are some GPS units that work well for the Ipad and cost less than the difference between the wifi and 3g models. Unless you go star chasing, need directions while driving or hiking the wifi only should suffice and you can use the money difference to get a bigger memory one.
I've had my Ipad since early March and haven't used 3g yet.
For the things your Ipad can't do there is an app called Splashtop that allows you to manipulate your Windows machine from your Ipad, allowing you to use it for the heavy lifting and Flash support the Ipad doesn't do without a crap load of apps.

Already looked at that but it's too expensive for a Samsung device in my opinion. lol

I use a mobility scooter and seldom go anywhere I would need sat nav, much as it's a nice thing to have. I have it on my phone anyway which should suffice.

I have the wifi only model, maps and navfree pinpoint my location pretty accurately and are decent enough gps route guidance software, considering they are free.

I think I will be happy enough with the wifi only. I don't need gps usually and on the rare occasion I might, I can always use my phone anyway.

45 days to go and counting... lol.
