Hey guys.. I need some professional opinions on whether it worth it to sell my galaxy tab 2 10.1 , and buy a new ipad mini instead?? I noticed that Samsung products are kinda lag at times, n I guess Apple products are better at this. But d bright side of Samsung is that we can dl loads of things without paying, unlike Ipad, unless u r gonna jailbreak it. But even jailbreak-ing is pretty troublesome right? So the point is.. should I sell my tab n get an ipad? Appreciate it if u guys can provide me the pros & cons of these 2 diff devices!  Thanks!!

sell samsung when there's value, and get apple.
but apple u must know that its not that compatible with other devices. e.g.: transfer file via bluetooth not available. for u EMMA, jus get the ipad mini. sell ur tab..

1. there are tons of good, free apps for ipad 2. jailbreaking is either very very easy or totally impossible. it's probably the latter in the case of a brand new ipad mini 3. jailbreaking is so much more than 'getting free stuff', which is illegal n you're not supposed to talk about that here the big question here is why are you going from a 10" to a 7.9" device? if you simply want a smaller, faster tablet, probably the 2013 nexus 7 would be a better choice for you. no need to redownload all ur apps

Btw, I know its better to have larger screen device, but after 8-months, i figured out that I like smaller tab/ipad better coz its so much lighter than galaxy tab n smaller in size that i can easily carry around. I'm a student, so its kinda troublesome for me to bring my galaxy tab every time i go to campus. Its too heavy and huge for me. Does Nexus 7 have better quality as compared to ipad or galaxy tab? N is it more suitable for working adults or students? N how much is the current market price for it? thanks.

www.apple.com/sg
iPad Mini is good and will never lag.Just that it does not have Retina Display like the iPad has.Retina Display is good because the graphics really very good.like in real life graphics.For the iPad better than iPad Mini.
iOS is really a very good operating system.My iPad is now 11months old and so far no problem AT ALL.Amazing Graphics,never lagged,I have over 80games and over 40+ apps.The apps are really cool.you will love them.Just that,apple has a standard.you can't bluetooth with another devices.you can only bluetooth to your car,apple PC,laptop,iDevices.
Go for the iPad Mini/iPad.They are 100% better than the another tablets.

To get paid apps for free,I suggest you use 25PP.its a computer application but then you can install it to your ipad and directly download games from there.But trust me,go for the ipad.You won't regret.

I dislike ppl saying android has more free apps and they're misleading in this..what source was that? Must be from illegal sites..apple on the other hand has more apps available..u think it not free? If you could wait for free apps a day..u probably lucky enough to get many famous paid games for free..it depends on which operating system u desire..my phone is android and I own an ipad..I do feel ios more user friendly..my Samsung phone just doesn't work as consistent and smooth as ios..if u want more apps to play with, pick apple..u want more features and functionality, pick Samsung

Thanks for sharing d info tho'!  Do u have any idea on the market price for 2nd hand galaxy tab now? Guess I need to trade in my tab to get an ipad, coz so far not many ppl are going for 2nd hand tabs since they can afford a new 1.
