ipad vs android tablet what are the advantages of each?

[OkieMoe]

Here's my opinion based on phones:

Android = less dollars
Apple = it actually works

I just ditched my android phone for an iPhone and holy cow! iPhone is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much better.

I have to agree. I'm on my third iPhone after upgrading over the years. Same with the wife. And our old 4 phones are still kicking with kids and family members using them. That was one reason me and the wife picked up iPads. And love them. If you do like to dabble with settings. There is a jailbreak out for the latest apple OS..

I would rather just get another laptop next time. Neither one of the tab OS leave me feeling satisfied, but the Apple is probably more transparent to the user.

I love my ultra portable. Does stuff you will eventually wish your iPad would do.

The ipad/iphone is for old people, kids, and people that don't understand technology well. It's as easy to use as a remote control and a retarded chimp could figure it out.

Android is for people that tech savvy, and aren't afraid to configure their operating system.

This.

If the Ipad came with hookers and porn-stars, you'd still have to use iTunes at some point in your day if you want to do everything with it (the iCloud is great and all, but there is just no way to avoid the cancer that is iTunes).

That fact alone makes me cringe when thinking about i-Anything. Having had two apple products that took a dump on me (update did one and the hardware crapped on the other), I can say that when things work perfectly, all is well, but as soon as you have issues - good luck hitting forums for answers and the Apple's "Geniuses" are anything but helpful when you have a real question.

Getting my wife's info from her iPhone and onto her new android phone almost took an act of God without iTunes (because iTunes did one of it's awesome updates that snuck in some stuff it doesn't ask you about and pretty much destroyed itself and rendered her laptop almost unusable). That and after her 3GS (arguably one of the toughest pieces of hardware Apple used) was on its 2nd screen (and then they replaced the phone altogether) before it started having button problems again and we just gave up on it.

The best Apple product I own is my old 80Gb iPod Classic and that's only because I put RockBox on it instead of Apple's crappy un-self-aware interface.

I'm quite tech savvy but have since learned that I enjoy using my toys rather than spending all my time tweaking them.

As for Flash, Flash is dead.

Hahaha - sure it is. Also, you can view flash on an iPad with the Skyfire Browser.

Maybe you should just stick with the iPad...

Even Adobe admits it's dead.
