I have an Android phone and IPad, and am a fan of both platforms. That said, i am struggling to see why anyone would go with this or any other Android tablet over an iPad.
I have an Android phone, an iTouch, and have played around with some friend’s iPad’s. That said, I can’t really see much of a difference (practically, for the average consumer) between them. If the prices are the same, Apple is a better choice than most others mainly because of the nice aluminum body, and the extra time they’ve had to work out bugs.
For those who are more technologically oriented, and like having the higher levels of control over more basic functions of their devices, Android is the way to go, hands down.
And if you refuse to use iTunes, you have to use something other than an iPad as well.
That's my reasons for avoiding Apple.
