I tested out the Dell Venue and found it slow and clunky. I ended up falling back to my Ipad mini for everything.
My director of HR has the Venue Pro and it is riddled with issues. So many bugs that Dell has yet to figure out so we are going to switch her to the surface 3 when it comes out.
I can honestly say that I've had issues with "Modern" apps not wanting to go beyond the splash screen. A reboot (sometimes 2-3) takes care of that. I had it blue screen on me when going into the camera app and rotating it before the splash screen was done. So, I can say I've encountered issues as well. I sent my demo copy back and still am considering getting the 64GB model but with my Surface Pro 3 here next week, I can wait. Sure, the 8" size is good for reading but I'd rather have less devices.
I haven't had issues with the apps not working, mine is with the tablet not recognizing wifi, the dock not recognizing any external monitors, the keyboard attachment won't show the cursor half of the time. Not sure what is happening but this thing is going back

I'm hoping to be on the iPad Mini 3 when it releases, probably this fall.

Wow...can't say I've had those issues. So sorry to hear that.

I had all sorts of issues when I first got it (again Vendors are awesome) but it did get better with time with updates etc. But it was just till clunky compared to my ipad mini.

I can agree with that. The iPad series always seems consistent in speed and use. Being all in with the Microsoft Ecosystem (phone, PC, tablet, XBOX, video and music), it really met my needs. Just wondering how heavy the SP3 will be for long term "tablet" use...

I actually just went to a microsoft store and played around with the sp3. That thing is light. The kickstand works well and i don't see that as a weak point anymore. It is fast, touchscreen is very responsive.

You have a Prime?! Dang dude, those were the $4!+ when they first came out. They managed to pass the Xoom, and at the time that was saying something. The Galaxy line was still young and still trying to do the tablet thing before Samsung realized the real money and success would be in the phone and/or phablet market. Nice! Honeycomb FTW!

If I ever managed to count all of the devices we have in this house, by the time I was done there would be five new ones.

No question about that. I'm an early adopter type, so we get a bit of just strange useless stuff from that.

A bit of it in this house is the vendors giving me stuff. We end up cycling through so much stuff (mostly useless) because of it.

The Prime was pretty good...it was my last Android tablet before moving to the Surface tablets...

Yes...I am on a review program (review/keep) and sometimes I get stuff I don't really need...while I usually LOVE having storage, it got to the point where I had too much. Legally, I am not to sell or give it away...

I just cycle down to employees. It is kinda nice that we rarely have to buy tablets.
