10 Reasons To Buy A Tablet (And 5 Reasons Not To)

You've held out for months, waiting and watching the market for some sign of a tablet that you think you'd like. But maybe you're asking the wrong question. Instead of "Which tablet should I buy?" maybe you should be asking why you need a tablet in the first place?

We've written out a brief guide to deciding whether you need a tablet at all. As for a recommendation, the two devices we can unequivocally recommend right now are the iPad and, if you're into Android, the Galaxy Tab (although there is some talk of an upgrade coming soon). However, don't buy right now. The iPad 2 is on its way and the Xoom, Playbook, and TouchPad, are coming soon as well.

So before you break out the credit card, let's talk about a few reasons to buy a tablet... and a few reasons not to.
