Android is absolutely dead on Tablets, Google never gave much of a damn about the form factor with utterly piss-poor UI optimization for larger displays, everything went downhill from Honeycomb.
With a software experience like that it's not surprising that OEM's never went all in on decent hardware.

- amiga-workbench 8y agoI switched to a cherry trail Windows tablet with 4 gig of RAM and a 1200p IPS display, I got it on sale for £75 so it was an absolute steal. I got Fedora running on it quite nicely but nothing on Linux is remotely comfortable on a touch screen so I had to go back to Windows 10.
- jbob2000 8y agoThat's not the real reason, though I'm sure it's a factor. The real reason is that Android is lower in the market and thus their customer base tend to purchase one and only one device. Apple is more expensive and their customer base has more disposable income to spend on devices. (And since they have more disposable income, Apple is more inclined to provide a better tablet experience). It's all about the benjamins. Google would invest in tablets if android users spent money on them.
