All an iPad is, is a Overpriced iPod touch on steroids.....

Samsung Galaxy series.

What about the asus transformer series

They are OK, but not nearly as good as the Samsung range. I've got an HP Touch pad which I have modded with Android, and its superb. The important thing IMO is the screen.

What I like bout the transformer is it has a keyboard with built in battery boosting battery life from 8hrs to 15hrs I have now a Samsung s3 now running android pics with quad core :nenau but u can still make phone calls:lol

I got the Nexus7, brilliant about £170 but only 8Gig the £200 one has more 16 I think. Had it around a month, only used up about 100 meg.
Lasts for days on standby No 3G, so you need to tether it to your 3G phone

Fits the inside pocket great

Problem BBC iPlayer will not work, anything over android 4 is not supported

Utube works

I have a New iPad, which is a very good piece of kit, and I love it for its beutiful design and ease of use, but it does have some existing drawbacks, and some more that are on the horizon, as Apples ongoing war with ever other manafacturer heats up.

The main problem I have with it is the dependancy on itunes for everthing. It really is a closed shop, and Apple is the shop steward from hell when it comes to keeping it that way...

I am also concerned that their mission to protect every aspect of their design (bearing in mind that the tablet in its current form was their idea) is one of almost biblical dimensions, and will end up with them alienating software designers, and consumers.

They now appear to be starting a showdown with Google, who will be withdrawing their YouTube app, and Street Maps from Apple devices, which will, in my opinion, diminish the device considerably.

When funds allow, I may try a Samsung Galaxy Tab, which appears to be the only real world competitor at the momemt. That is only if Apple do not ban the sale of them globally though.

Regards

Alan
