I never knocked the iPad for being a large iPod Touch. I knocked the iPad for being another over-hyped, under functioning locked down Apple device. All of the above is still true, and an Android tablet doesn't suffer from any of that.
I'll definitely be getting an Android tablet.
Yes and you will be subject to 10 times the Viruses and it will weigh 3.5 times more than the Ipad and it's battery life will be less than 4 HRS. So you can have it, i'm buying an Ipad.
