    That's only the list of tablets running Android - other operating systems do exist!

    Here's the complete list, including phones, and the various operating systems:

    I included the link for the other devices which you must have missed ;)

    Um, nope. that link is still just for Android.
    1. Have you tried to Google the answer?
    2. If you were in the other person's shoes, how would you react?
    3. Do you want a quick answer or better understanding?

    As far as I'm aware catch up is not available on many other systems other than iPads which has been there for yonks but as you are the expert perhaps you could check for me ;)

    It's supposed to be coming for Windows Phone soon, and maybe for Blackberry, if they stay in business long enough!

    Yup, but not just Android. Other devices do exist (even if they are frowned upon heavily on this forum by some others)

    Well, besides that one that you omitted from your list, none.

    Almost inevitable the iPad and its fans would come into this thread! :)
    For business use I would not want to rely on any kind of tablet. Try typing any sort of business document on a device without a keyboard. Also try making use of a tablet if your internet connection is down. There are other items to consider too, but maybe I'm just being old fashioned. ;)

    You can get a wireless keyboard for the ipad and some other tablets. Some tablets, ipad included, will access via 3G as well- try making use of a laptop when the internet is down and it will give you the same sort of results as using a tablet in the same circumstances.

    IMHO the current best value tablet deal from a recognised, mainstream brand has to be the Nook HD+ 16GB 9" tablet from Barnes and Noble. Now reduced to £129 and also, crucially, also now includes Google Play store functionality. 9" HD screen on a par with any 9.7" iPad screen, 16GB internal memory with up to an additional 32GB available by SD card (try that on your iPad!). Buy it from John Lewis and get their standard 2 year warranty.

    Only downside? No cameras and no GPS. But to be honest I've had a Sammy Tab 2 for over a year and haven't' taken a pic with it yet.

    PS Ignore John Lewis's 'no bluetooth' spec - it HAS bluetooth.

    You can even convert it into a quasi laptop AND protect it at the same time for £25!
