android tablets, you get in various shapes and flavors.
Samsung galaxy tab I bought almost 2 years ago, still fills my need.
It's still fast and swift and periodically they do update, gets better everytime,
I see no need to upgrade. My tab runs all 3D intensive games like Batman,
wild blood, gangstar rio at an amazing quality, doesn't get heated up, and
stays up 10 days max with no charge but some random use. I've played
non-stop 4 hours approximately on it with full bright settings, and the battery
was used up 45%. So, 8-9 hours continuous use I think is unquestionable, which is rock-solid.
Thats what apple claims they get on their system. Right? so, not a big deal. I played around at electronic
stores to get myselt into ipad after lot of hype, but that thing simply hasn't been able to
light up my interest yet. That old blocky interface, super boring look.. am just
tired of it. I found no difference in swiftness and speed, dunno how gaming is on ipad
but so far 3D gaming on my samsung tab has been awesome. If apple tab offers same,
well.. it's same, nothing interesting.

There are some cheap version of android tab which don't live up to the expectation, now
don't compare it to high end tabs. Lol, its funny how they think all android tablets are same.
You own it, you compare and then you comment.

I ordered ipad 2 on amazon, played around with 3-4 days, returned it and got refunded.
ipad is not for me. period.

PS: If some folks are new at tablet, I highly recommend buying ipad for it's ease of use
and simplicity. Once you get used to it, and see what other folks at the other end doing,
you would want to sell it fast, we learn from mistakes, therefore I highly encourage you
to make mistakes :)
