It depends what you want to do with it.
I recently bought my dad an ipad because he did not want to use laptop, but now he does not seem to like it because he could not download songs
and videos as he used to do on laptop. And asked me if android allows that. And of course android will let you download songs and videos from net. Now he wants android just because of that.

Another annoying thing i have noticed on iPhone and iPads are ads. It's like a pc now and you can't even block it unless you are jailbroken. Beleive me i am using iPhone now that's the only thing i hate most and will switch to android just to get rid of ads. Same thing with iPad.
