i disagree... the ipad 2 is a good tablet because of the battery power, speed, easy to use and its reliable... the only downfall about it is no flash and its overpriced... great tablet but 500 really?

I have the iphone and ipad2 and there is a big difference between the two. Just for travelling alone, web browsing on the ipad2 is much better. Plus watching movies, reading a book and drawing are just a few things that are better on the ipad than the iphone.

They really are just an oversized version of the ipod touch, and I think that every tablet should have excellent web browsing since it's one of their core functions. With that said, the iPad does not offer flash, which means it's browsing is seriously crippled.
A lot of people who buy iPads are either Apple fanboys or just people who didn't do a lot of market research and bought whatever seemed cool/popular at the time.

This is what I'm seeing. The Apps are what make the device and, to be frank, I don't think the Android Market has anywhere near the selection of apps that the App Store has. I'm still in school so things that could help with that would be nice.Originally Posted by runzombierun
Being a person who has an evo 4g, nexus s, galaxy tab 10.1 and 1st ipad; id vote for ipad 2. Ive had mine since it first came out and love it. Only reason i have a tab is because it came free with the 55" 3d tv i bought. App store is much better, os is cleaner. Apps get written for ipad first then android second, maybe.
It is not to create content but to properly manage it.
I think people have a misconception of what a tablet is. It is to manage your content not create it. I literally read flipboard every day for a while. I browse the CNN app every day. It organizes everything i need extremely easily and makes it very easy to use.
Not to mention all of the great games. Hours wasted on World of Goo, Real Racing, Final Fantasy, Pirates etc.
The updating is something I've considered as well (if NT hasn't caught on, I'm a very cautious buyer). Apple does many things right, but leaves you wanting in other areas. The Android platform is open and what-not, but the market for tablets is in the iPad and that's where developers are spending most of their resources.Originally Posted by runzombierun
Ive found the battery life to be fairly similar between my ipad and my tab. both are roughly 9 hours or so with video running on flights. Maybe a little less if its continous watching. Another thing to consider, apple updates iOS then all ipads get the updates. Android gets an update and its a guessing game for months on which device is going to get it and when.
