Uhm, I'm not sure if this guy is serious. (Shitty anecdote time) None of the iPad owners I know (maybe 20ish?) were iPad bound because of their existing iTunes content. The Android (Tablet and phone IMO) problem has been, so far, Hardware. (Shitty anecdote #2) Every person I know that switched from Anndroid -> iPhone did so because of repeated catastrophic HW failures of the android devices. That point aside, all of the new "best ever" android tablets leave me coming away feeling like the hardware is just not very good (Maybe "Well made" is a better word). I understand the devices are "faster" and have more memory. However, when a consumer gives one of these android tablets a look see they always feel kinda crappy. I'm probably a unique user in that I think iOS makes for a better phone and Android makes for a better tablet. Sadly, none of the Android tablet HW has been good enough to make me switch. I'm interested in the new MS tablet though; Looks like it has a "substantial" build.

I can totally understand his point about iTunes content. I bought an iPad for my wife at first, with teaching purposes in mind (she teaches Japanese language). After a while, I recognized how great it is for consuming media. Nowadays we rent / stream all kinds of video content on it, often beamed to the big screen. It's even great for your homebrew video server, using the rock solid airvideo app. Once you've used it like an interactive remote for your big screen, it becomes clear how much better this is compared to other streaming solutions with clunky interfaces.

I had a look at a Galaxy Tab the other day in the store, and scrolling/switching apps felt very choppy. However, my Transformer Prime is very fluid and responsive. I could not be more satisfied from my purchase, and am very glad I sold my iPad.
