When you bought a tablet about a year ago for multipurpose use, though you know damn well the main purpose was for language learning.
When you are looking to buy a new mp3 player and the main feature you are looking for is a nice button layout so you can easily hit pause/play/rewind while listening to language tapes when walking/driving.
