What are important things to look for when buying a tablet?
Primary use I'm interested in is product demos/videos with potential clients. 10"? 7"?

Bigger is always better in my opinion. I think the Android tablet's can do more, but the iPad's are easy to use. In that regard, it's funny that the iPad can be so much more expensive.

For client presentations, definitely go with a 10" tablet and a 1080p display.
I would say Asus or Samsung, but for business maybe the IPad will keep you from overloading your tablet and hurting performance.

For doing the video demos, my guess is I could avoid possible Internet connection problems with playing from YouTube by uploading the videos to dropbox then downloading it to the tablet. Am I thinking correctly?

Why would you upload to Youtube at all? For a presentation, NEVER rely on having a wifi connection.

Precisely why I'm thinking this through and avoiding Internet issues. I see some tablets come with mini USB port so I guess I could load the videos onto the tablet that way.gut;1495875 wrote:Why would you upload to Youtube at all? For a presentation, NEVER rely on having a wifi connection.

The Dropbox idea slams the door on an iPad since Dropbox for iOS is hilariously useless.

You don't even need to use Dropbox with Android - just transfer over USB or wireless lan (or put the micro SD card into your computer to copy the files..done). I believe the latest IOS now allows wireless transfer between devices on your network, also.Apple;1495880 wrote:Precisely why I'm thinking this through and avoiding Internet issues.

Requires Internet access in order to do anything. You can't "export" (download) files to the device and keep them. It's like a glorified viewer. The one on Android is considerably more useful

Obama and Obamacare has made me adjust the direction I want to take in life and business. Just like anything else I do I find the oppertuity that I can prosper from, use it to my advantage. What Obama has done is unemploy good people that worked for me, limitated tax base for local and state and distroyed future expantion that I would have done. Now it's no longer about being a provider for the public employment, generating tax base or company growth but more for my personal and profitable well being. Sorry I paid my dues, taken the risk, invested in dreams and worked to build my community ... I'm entitled to take my profit now...WebFire;1495904 wrote:I thought you were closing your business when Obama was reelected because of Obamacare?
