Here. That is... I'm someone that bought an android tablet... though I don't really fit the hypothesis of this piece. I got an Asus Transformer Prime (so not the low end) at the end of last month and like it a great deal. Being able to "tear the screen off the laptop I'm using"... I didn't realize I've been wanting to do that for years now, until I could.

But I guess I could answer the questions posed by the piece nonetheless, who I, an android tablet buyer, am and what I use it for. I'm an average Ph.D. student in a technical discipline. So I've only very little disposable income for fun gadgets, which I can augment a bit when I have a belief that they will also be useful. Thus why I waited till android tablets got better enough and went for one designed to work very well with a keyboard.

What I use it for... well, what people I know seem to use their iPads for... email, light browsing online, and reading books/pdfs offline. Games... well, I'm hooked on Spirit right now, so maybe I should say playing one game over and over. :-) Other coffeehouse computing sort of stuff... drawing diagrams and typing up what I need to on the go. The touch-to-sound delay seems to preclude good musical instruments, but I've always been more of a drum machines, synths, and sequencers kind of guy, so I've been playing with those. I keep meaning to put a python interpreter on here, but that darn dissertation work and all.

I had kinda hoped to make this my main computing machine. But really, that was a silly hope given the various stuff I use/want. The full laptop still earns its place/weight in my backpack. I guess I'm just not a one OS kind of guy, and heck, no need to be limited to just one anyway, right tool for each job and all that.
