It has a brand-new UI that is tablet-optimized. I think the principle advantage of any Android tablet over iPad is Honeycomb; with widgets and real multitasking, it's much much more usable as a real computer than the iPad is.
I think it also has two cameras, a significantly faster CPU, other features like that. Really though, the main thing it has going for it is Honeycomb. Most people will be very impressed with it after playing with a demo model in a store. It's much more futuristic and cooler than the now-old iOS icon-grid paradigm.
- tomkarlo 16y agoYou lost me at "real computer." In my own experience, one of the biggest reasons that normal customers like the iPad is _because_ it's not like their desktop computer. The obsession with emulating a desktop/laptop experience is mainly the domain of those of us who are already experts in that experience; for average users who may generally dislike the "real computer", it's not a selling point.
