> maybe just learning to use computers for the first time I've been coding since I was 10 and I will choose iOS over Android as my tablet OS. I may be swayed by an ICS handset sooner or later, but for tablets it's a no-brainer. I think there is a noticeable absence of careful and deliberate design on the Android tablets (like the article's author points out in the device-maker-installed crapware), where the experience is driven by marketing people instead of technology and design. iOS is not as power-user-friendly in the traditional sense. But an iPad is also not a traditional device. I have a few use cases for it: * watching movies/shows * playing music at home * reading stuff (browsing online, or Instapaper, Kindle, iBooks) * entertaining a toddler Those are all "relaxed" sort of activities. Anything I'm doing on the iPad is secondary and I don't think more power-user features would change that. That is, even if I could compile code or access the filesystem on the device, I would not, except out of curiosity. It wouldn't help me get any work done.
