![]() ![]() If I get a call and need to check on something in the office, I open up LogMeIn Ignition and connect to my computer easily with that. If I’m sitting at my desk and writing some mundane code, I plug in my earbuds, open up my Google Music app and listen to my entire music collection while I bang away at the keyboard. I have the documents stored in my Google Docs account so I can access those notes from anywhere. If I wanna take notes in a meeting, no problem – I sync it with my Zagg bluetooth keyboard, open up Quickoffice HD and start typing away. ![]() In fact, it’s really just the opposite.īrowsing and typing is MUCH easier on an Android device thanks to the use of SwiftKey Tablet X, in which my soft keyboard is split on the screen making is very easy to type with just my thumbs. There isn’t a single thing that can be done with an iPad that I am missing with my Android. Apps for Android tablets are not hard to find, and I could care less about the number of games. Considering the huge success of the iOS family of device, I’d say a LOT of people loves its interface. Who can tolerate that playschool interface. The home button decides on it’s own whether or not it wants to work on any given day, I seriously doubt that you are witnessing constant ones, unless on a very old device or even more likely a badly jailbroken one. I think I’ve seen a totally of 3 fatal OS crash in this half decade. What is that? Never seen any case like that, and I’ve been using (and dev’d for) multiple since 2007. The iPad’s have all kinds of resets which of course you only know about when the Apple pops up on the screen. From my surrounding, Android tablets doesn’t seems to catch on at all. On the contrary, most of my colleagues and friends who decided to opt for any of the Android tablets ended up, a few months later, selling them back and going for the iPad. ![]() When looking at my Android pad, the iPad users I work with find that they would like to exchange the product, Jailbreaking iOS makes it barely tolerable. I have screws and bolts as well as nails and have android apps for all. Maybe it has a gold-plated hammer apps, but the toolbox lacks anything with cutting edges. I don’t think it does sdxc, or move an mp3 song into iTunes. If you want a real GPS, it is $100 for a bluetooth one that has Steve’s magic dust. Perhaps the iPad3 is better, but it won’t charge when it is heavily used, and when idle takes hours, or at best 2 minutes ofnuse for 1 hour charge-while-idle. Then there’s the horror of having to use iTunes – somewhat fixed. Nor can I play audiobooks and podcasts at varying faster speeds. ![]() I have a 4th gen iPod touch, and keep finding sites or media that just won’t play. I have several keyboards – Hackers is most pc like. I have multiple players including one that downloads youtube as offline video or audio. I can swap batteries, but rarely need to since it charges in an hour, nor do I need the bag of adapters since it has full size SDXC, USB (exFAT! -1G hard drive, keyboard, game, mice, serial, ethernet), and HDMI. That said, there are plenty of reasons for the iPad being the more attractive option (software for instance), but for sure being cheaper than the competition is not one of them. Galaxy Tab 10.1N, 64 GB, Wi-Fi + 3G: 589,00 EURĪlso, there’s no technical reason for the 64 GB version to cost 100,00 EUR more than the 32 GB version which, in turn, is 100,00 more than the 16 GB variant - but that’s Apple for you, I suppose. New iPad, 64 GB, Wi-Fi + 4G (where available): 799,00 EUR Galaxy Tab 10.1N, 16 GB, Wi-Fi + 3G: 469,00 EURīut, in all fairness, 16 GB is nearly not enough and, since you can’t get a bigger iPad 2 for that price, the comparison is a little unfair. You may like the iPad better, and it’s slightly cheaper, but let’s check the Wi-Fi + 3G combination: Sorry but when Galaxy Tab 10.1 costs 100USD/EUR more than iPad2 I just can’t rationalize the Galaxy Tab price under any circumstance.Ĭlose, but no cigar. ![]()
