Tablet Kindle Fire

All my work is internet related, I use a desktop computer and a 10" Notebook. While I did fancy getting an iPad, I taught the cost was hard to justify for what I needed it for. The main use I would have for a tablet would be while I was away from home, so that I could check e Mail, stats etc... It would also have be handy to show clients samples of work, as I find that I am now getting a lot of local work, especially for Facebook fan pages.

The second reason sounds quiet lazy, while sitting on the couch I could monitor various stats and sites. So I have talked myself into buying one of these, I decided it will be my Christmas present to myself. Amazon are now taking orders now but shipping will not start until the 15th November.
