Best Tablet for AE?
I am wanting a tablet, anyone have experience with AE and tablets? I would get an iPad if AE would work on it but it won't so I am looking at the next best option, don't want another netbook or laptop, already have them.

The Windows-based ones would be the only option, and then only if they supported two USB devices.

Some of the Samsung and Microsoft Surface Pro Tablets have a usb port.

A couple of the samsung's can still be had with Windows 7, a little pricey though:Tablet PCs | Samsung

Surface Pro from Microsoft, the New Windows Tablet

For AE I've been using a Asus eee slate running windows 7 and like it much better for in-vehicle use than a standard laptop.
