And I&#8217;m tired of waiting for Android tablets to get good games.  I&#8217;m tired of being an early adopter.  I&#8217;m tired of fighting with my electronic devices.<\/p>\n<p>I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 that I bought week one.  It&#8217;s thin and light.  But I&#8217;ve never been truly satisfied with the device.  The performance has always been lacking.  When I launch apps they are sometimes quite slow to respond.  When I scroll up and down web pages they stop and stutter.  These might seem like little nitpicky things, but over time they become quite annoying.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m tired of watching every good mobile game come out for Apple devices first.  Maybe later they do an Android port.  But more and more, this just isn&#8217;t happening.  For example, one of my good friends works for a video game company and they have made some iOS games but no plans for Android devices.  I don&#8217;t expect this to change any time soon.<\/p>\n<p>I still love my Android phone, an HTC Incredible.  I&#8217;m tempted to get a Nokia Windows Phone.  That said, my next phone will probably be another HTC Android.  I really like that HTC One X, and I hope it comes to Verizon this year.  But enough about mobile phones.<\/p>\n<p>I use my Android tablet less and less these days.  The performance sucks and there are no good games.  And I want a larger screened portable gaming platform.  I&#8217;ve looked at Nintendo and Sony and I&#8217;m just not impressed.<\/p>\n<p>So I guess that&#8217;s it, then.  I&#8217;m going to get a new iPad.<\/p>\n<p>I feel so defeated right now.  I feel dirty.  I hate Apple.  And here I am, ready to buy an iDevice.<\/p>\n<p>But this summer when I&#8217;m playing Baldurs Gate on my new iPad?  It&#8217;s going to feel sooo good.<\/p>\n<p>So it&#8217;s true what they say: Resistance *IS* futile.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m tired of waiting for Android tablets to get better.
