    Yes indeed I do! And it's fun, too! I highly recommend it for anyone who plays the Candy Crush line of games.

      You hack your dates and you crush your candy. I think I'm afraid of you.

        I just got a Galaxy Tab S 10.5 inch. The screen is dazzling. It is very responsive and easily interfaced with my laptop with Kubuntu 14,10 installed.

          ... and it is very, very thin! One reviewer on YouTube said he is afraid to handle it for fear of breaking it, implying it is so thin, it is counterintuitive.



          Edit: Looks like that would be 6.6 mm!

            I got a relatively cheap cover for it, all buttons and camera exposed. It makes it less delicate feeling. KDE Connect works well with my 14.10 install

              And nuts. There are nuts in there, too. And they get crushed...

                I put my Kindle Fire HD 8.9 in an Otterbox Defender--as I do my smartphones. It feels practically invincible in that thing!

                  This $39 case for $15 at Amazon works fine, has good ratings.

                    Last night I bought the GF a Nexus 9 and then spend most of today playing with it.
                    The Nexus that is

                    A great little machine, definately better than the Nexus 7 but not exactly cheap.

                    After Christmas she can select a case for it, wimmin have peculiar tastes...

                          No question about it at the moment, the two upper-end Android tablets would be the Samsung Galaxy Tab S and the Nexus 9. The new Lollipop OS should be street-tested, imo, but that's just me. And the $400-$450 level will most certainly decrease over time, probably sooner rather than later. But the two are fairly safe choices at the upper end of things. Aside: I was hoping for a Nexus 8 (not 9), along with previous, lower pricing levels that Google was known for with its Nexus 7. ( Gee, wouldn't an upgraded product from Nexus 7 to a similar-but-better Nexus 8 at $250-$300 have been great?) Well, that didn't happen, did it!
