  1. it is well known that to have/use an ipad securely, one must also have a computer to sync with. are any of the other tablets ‘out there’ a laptop substitute? if so, they should be telling us that up-front. i will have ipod touches for as long as they exist, but do not want an ipad; and my next phone will run on one of the android os’s. i will never go ‘all in’ with one mfr. in my device landscape.
