Its a real ford vs chevy thing
And the one that asked the question came up with the best answer...
I would choose the iPad myself because I prefer iOS, but have seen a GalaxyS Tab which was pretty neat, just sloppier OS. A coworker of mine got a Nook tablet and hacked it with Android and that was pretty cool, with not third party bloatware on it, but I still prefer the simplicity of iOS, all personal opinion and you probably won't get an answer here or anywhere that will sway you one way or the other, you just need to try a couple out in the stores and see which one fits you best...
