I have now ventured to the world of mac

and while i am having fun with my IPad, i am not overly pleased with how Mac set it up. I really am trying to approach this with an open mind, but I do not feel they properly inform of a few things

2 and 3 are pretty absurd, to be honest. But then, you don't use a MAC...MAC uses you!

Actually, it will do full power on beefier PCs. PCs use cheaper power components. In order to charge you need that 10 watt (or whatever it is) charger. It requires more power. Since my laptop has a battery life of 3 hours and my ipad has a life of 10- I am good with this. When it displays not charging, it is charging at 1/10th the speed.

but if it is only an inch bigger than my phone (ok, i am exaggerating, but not by much), there is no point. i wanted a larger tablet for when my phone screen is too small. i wouldn't mind maybe even an inch bigger than the IPad if i could. for anything that can be done on a smaller screen, i have my Evo.

Other options

There are quite a few good Android tablets around...removable storage, full USB support including flash drives and peripherals with 3g or without...

i am glad to hear that, the ones i was finding online were all smaller and not as smooth.

Yet another Apple interface I don't like. I think the only one I have liked was on the Mac Plus.
