Sucker for technology

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 is $100 off this week. I was really tempted. I even blogged about how cool it was back on April 7th. I was thinking tonight how I could justify buying another tablet... Then it occurred to me, I really love my S8+. I really hope they keep every design feature of the Tab S3 in the Tab S4, but ditch the physical buttons like they did with the S8. If they do that, and release the Tab S4 in less than a year, then I'd kick myself for having bought the Tab S3. So I have to wait. But Samsung, keep the all glass design, the all black look (even the sides/edges), the 4 speakers, and the awesome display.

I looked up some stats on phonearena.com:
The S2 8" is 272g and 5.6mm thick.
The S3 9.7" is 429g and 6mm.
The NotePro 12.2" is 753g and 7.95mm.
The latest iPad 9.7" is 478g and 7.5mm.
The iPad Pro 12.9" is 692g and 6.9mm.

It is available from Verizon.  Oh so tempting, but $700 from Verizon plus $30 activation plus $20 per month, and only $500 flat for WiFi only.
