iOS vs Android for Tablets

[LittleGreenGeek]

Hi All,

I'm thinking of buying a tablet soon and I am contemplating between an iPad, Galaxy Tab 10.1 or an Eee Pad Transformer.

I own an Android phone (Samsung Galaxy S2) and I'm loving it like crazy. However, I also own an iMac and iPod touch which seduces me for its countless apps and seamless integration on all Apple devices.

Having familiarized with both; Apple's iOS/OS X ecosystem as well as Google's Android OS--I noticed the latter is barely restrictive and offers more open choices than the former.

Should I get an Android tablet, which one is better: Galaxy Tab or the Transformer series and why would an Android tablet be more convenient than an iPad?

Your help would be appreciated.

Welcome to the forum and glad to have you here!

We have an open discussion on this exact topic here: http://www.androidtablets.net/forum/showthread.php?p=207218

For me, Android is a better OS for a tablet. Not all will agree (like my wife).

I don't like the iOS simply because they have a tendency to bottle you into their software, and do not play Flash. I have not found anything an iPad can do my Asus transformer can't. iOS is not for me. Biggis reason, Android devices cost less and do all the same things. Why pay more for less functionallity?

Hi
Android is far more open than IOS, i have both an Ipod and an android tablet and have just yesterday purchased an android phone.I weighted up the pros and cons of an Iphone v android it didn't take long to form an opinion based on my experiences and price which is better value, offers a more involving and evolving user experience and perhap most improtantly andriod is developing much faster than IOS it is taking the lead and IOS is now following that lead!
