Great Visit Today....

We got to visit RV friends, Lesle and Bill,who are in the Denver area for a while, taking care of family. We had lunch together and caught up on what each of us have been doing since we last saw them at Amazon. We worked together in Coffeyville, KS in 2008 during the Christmas rush. We showed them our new Galaxy Tablet, that we received recently. We wanted something that I can use to e-mail advertisers on while Linda is doing paperwork on our laptop. We love it ! It acts as a wireless hotspot and can provide wireless connection for up to 5 other devices. Has all kinds of applications....some of the ones I've put on it (for free) are NASCAR, Speed channel, Gas Buddy, weather radar, weather radio broadcasts, WebMD, banking links, different games, and there's a zillion more out there to choose from. Linda can play scrabble with her daughter in Virginia, which she's been doing throughout today on it. The GPS is really cool. If you recall our Garmin died that we use for sales calls. With this tablet, you can just speak the destination (ex: Camping World, Golden, CO) and it pulls it up and gives you the turn by turn directions, just like Garmin. Lots of things I haven't even explored yet but we're having fun learning. And all for $199...can't beat that but the monthly wireless charge will be less than we're paying for our air card so it will pay for itself. We're loving playing with it and seeing what all it can do. It's also nice to take out during the day, to stay on top of e-mails from advertisers....alerts you when a message comes in and easy to check. Alot easier than lugging the laptop and air card....
