Great review! I’ve been thinking of doing something similar re: the iPad and the Kindle Fire (which I have both of). I come from the perspective of someone who was a total PC person but when I won my first iPhone (the 3g) at a conference, that started the march towards becoming a total Apple fangirl. ;) I got a Macbook, I upgraded to the iPhone 4 (and love it so much more than my 3g which I considered impossible because I LOVED my 3g)… we even bought an Apple TV set-top box instead of a Roku for streaming Netflix and digital copies of our movies. I figured the iPad wasn’t for me (like you, I thought of it as an oversized iPhone). Dh and I got each other Kindle Fires for Christmas and while he fell in fast love with his… I was less impressed. I enjoyed it for reading books on but the web, apps and all that other jazz just… fell flat. It just didn’t WORK as well as my iPhone did. I think Apple spoiled me. ;) So when I came into some money after Christmas, I scoured eBay for an iPad 2 at a reasonable price and it is exactly what I was hoping for. I wish I hadn’t doubted. ;) The camera doesn’t bother me obviously since my iPhone has a fantastic camera and I can’t see myself realistically using the iPad to take photos (though Facetime is awesome on it). I still prefer my Kindle for reading books but that’s about it, sadly. The thing with the Apple products is that while they are expensive and maybe the specs seem behind some other products out there, they win in my book because they always work and work beautifully. I’m so tired of fighting technology!

In reply to Jodifur. Haha! Well, I know that my husband is completely sold on the iPad. He is more than slightly envious...

Gigabytes. The memory is probably GB, not MB. (I hope!)

I have an Android tablet – a Samsung Galaxy 10.1 to be exact – and I love it. Comparing this large tablet with the iPad – there really are not glaring differences. The speed – the look – the availability of apps – keyboard size – all comparable with the Apple product. The camera is pretty awesome too (no flash though). I always try to support “the little guy” – and compared to Apple – the Samsung is the little guy so we went with it. I love it – use it all the time for everything!

What a thorough comparison!! I love our iPad and our android tablet. I agree, pinterest and instagram are apps I wish they made on the android market.
