Thought this comic was pretty funny.

2003, guy is hating on the Mac because it's slower, more expensive, and doesn't play very many games.

2011, same guy loving an Android Xoom tablet, despite it being slower, more expensive, and having fewer games than the iPad. happy

Personally, I think anyone buying a tablet (or a mobile phone) for gaming is a retard.
But that's only my opinion of course.

I don't know anyone that bought one for gaming, but they sure are a nice side bonus.

Agreed. I don't go out of my way to play games on my iPad, but man some of them are pretty dang cool. I was using it on my flight, and people were generally shocked and staring while I played Rage.

I'll buy an iPod Touch before I buy a DS or PSP.

Ok I got your point and I agree, guys happy

My previous post was about people buying such a device primarily because of games.

I also have monopoly and a few other games installed on my HTC HD2. But when I bought the phone, it was not for the games it could run, but for it's phone-related abilities.
