For me, buying tablet is because i seek for vast varieties of applications.

which i believe iOS wins in this situation,

i often heard android users talk about custom roms, but very less talk about apps one.

So without hesitation I bought ipad. Not to say the large choices of after market accessories. smile.gif

no doubt if I get iPad 2 it will be a great combination with my MBP. especially FaceTime, later airdrop etc:

but after watching Galaxy Tab 10.1 review. it has so much more to venture. still ?????????? haha

Android devices looks promising.. But, don't forgot we are not buying hardware itself. Rather is the software that runs it, u compare appstore app vs Android market.. Android app still left far behind appstore..Most app builder put their priority on IOS rather android.. U look at Airasia, GSC for eg. Do they have this app in android? And u look at games like street fighter and many other games that develop by Capcom or EA Sport.. All for I-Devices.. think twice.
I would say Galaxy Tab 10.1 is another clone product from ipad2..If you don't know that, Galaxy tab 10.1 is being banned from selling due to legal dispute between Apple & Samsung on this model..

My opinion is abit late, but wat the heck.

In comparison to ipad2, go for the galaxy tab 10.1.

But if compare to (rumoured) ipad3, of course my vote goes to ipad3.

Just FYI, in case if you're not aware..

QUOTE
Previously, on Apple Versus Samsung: Cupertino's finest sued Samsung for making "similar" products -- a legal spectacle that most recently culminated with an injunction blocking the sale of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 across Europe (with one exception). The case hinges on Apple's assertion that Samsung is ripping off its designs, but tech site Webwereld spotted signs that perhaps Apple's claims are exaggerated, and that the outfit might have even gone so far as to alter images of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 to suit its case. The comparison shot you see up there is lifted from page 28 of a filing made by Freshfields Bruckhaus Derringer, Apple's European lawyers. Both devices look pretty identical with an aspect ratio of 4:3 -- except in reality, the Tab has a 16:9 16:10 aspect ratio and is far narrower than Steve's magical slate. Of course, we might never know if this was actually a malicious move on Apple's part -- certainly, Samsung's legal team isn't saying anything. For now, though, if you're game to play armchair attorney, head past the break for a comparison shot of the competing tabs as we actually know and love them.

and the latest episode

QUOTE
A Dusseldorf, Germany regional court has partly lifted a preliminary injunction issued last week banning Samsung from selling the Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Europe, the day after Webwereld noticed inconsistencies in Apple's injunction filing. Now Europeans (save those living in Germany) won't need to trek to the Netherlands to get their Tab fix -- at least until a verdict is issued after Samsung's August 25th appeal hearing. Sales of the device were originally banned following an Apple lawsuit alleging patent infringement, but were permitted to resume after a realization that a German court may not have the authority to halt sales of a South Korean company's device outside of Germany. Since the judgement didn't affect devices that had already been distributed to retailers, it's unknown whether or not the week-long ban has had any effect on sales.

Such a failed reader you are. I wrote (RUMOURED) but you didnt see that?

Expected to have retina display, which would be a major killer feature, since we interface with a touch screen device all the time so the screen is a major point in a device. Remember that slcd and amoled debate in htc desire?

Apple claimed the Galaxy tab to have a 4:3 ratio similar to the iPad. But in reality, the Galaxy tab uses a 19:10.

newer is often better.
samsung galaxy tab 10.1 has better screen technology, more ram, better camera. for watching videos, its better on the samsung as well because of the wide display ratio vs ipad2 squarish display (4:3)

wasnt the windows tablet invented way before ipad? so who is copying who?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Tablet_PC

stop being so shallow, and dont be a fanboy..

its a new category that microsoft invented, but apple popularized it..
if u were to call people that made another tablet as copying ipad, you might as well call the ipad an copycat product of MS's tablet PC concept also..
