I’m an Apple fan, but the gap in user experience between the Android Tablet and the iPad is a fraction of what it is between Snow Leopard and Windows. That’s a reality that Apple is going to have to contend with, as Android tablets are available for around 60% of the cost of their iPad competitors while providing 95% of the functionality.
They are not even close except that they both are tablets! Fun is part of the iOS xperience. Function is superior. Android will never be as good, they will continue to follow the leader!
Google and Apple’s competition simply copy Apple’s product ideas. Is there a market for these copy-cat’s? Sure.
Are these companies innovative? Not even close!
Apple spends the money on ideas, R & D and product development and then these other vultures slide in with their own version of Apple’s innovative products.
These vulture companies had better pray that Jobs and Apple continue on their innovative product development. Otherwise, how will they be able to “copy” Apple’s innovative products?
Not ONE of their products is an innovation, only a copy of Apple’s!
What Android tablets? Do you have the model names and prices? The Samsung Galaxy Tab (7 inch) is smaller than the iPad and retails for $749.00. You can shop around and probably get $100.00 off that price. Does it have 95% of the functionality of the iPad? Nope.
The iPad starts at $499.00.
