Ok, first off, iPad/iPhone/iAnything are designed for a specific audience, and genarally speaking that audience wouldnt usually be on forums/anything technical.
I know it might seem like nothing for alotta people on here to just jump onto tappa/web browser, load up the forum and a few of you other favourite tabs and surf away, but truth be told we're probably in the minority of the population. for alot of people out there getting to their emails easily on a daily basis is a challenge.
so apple is:sure your right westy, but the apple brand is designed for mainly beginners. its like training wheels on a bike. you cant lean you cant go as fast, but the basic principle of riding the bike is there. sure that analogy has lots of holes in it, like people usually go onto a bigger better bike, wheras apple dont want that. so yes they keep you in the dark, make most of their operating principles completely different to other O/S'sOriginally Posted by Westy's Accessories
so getting to it now:
apple are good, the mini is not a bad product, and under most circumstances you will find it basically does what you need.
there are plenty of other alternatives out there, i have bought a few just to play, my tablet is a 9.7" screen, similar in size and shape to the ipad 1 was about $140, i can get most of the apps of the google play store, but some of them are not available to this device as its a dodgy non-branded product. there are work arounds but i wouldnt recommend anyone with a good clue about computers/technology get one as you will be pulling you hair out in frustration.
if you want android, go for the asus transformer prime, of the samsung galaxy tab as someone else mentioned on here before.
i hope this was more help than confusing.
cheers
