    If you want the best OS, the best selection of Apps and don't want to hack it than iPad all the way.

    Why would you need to hack Honeycomb?

    Android over ipad everytime. Xoom is plain better hardware so is the Asus trasformer and the Acer Iconia not to mention android beats the ipad OS hands down. My fav is the Acer.

    Or a memory card slot or a USB port or an HDMI port.

    Why would you want a memory card when it's big enough without it. How much memory do you want on it cos having too much slows it down.

    Also it does have a USB port comes with the plug no need for the HDMI either well not for me there isn't.

    Each to their own I suppose I just like my iPad.

    Didn't Bill Gates say something similar a while ago?

    Memory card so you can view photos and videos you take on a real camera, HDMI so you can watch those same photos and videos on a telly or similar. Just a guess.

    Why not just view these pictures on a real computer with a proper HD screen. And why not connect the camera direct to the TV.

    Surely better solutions for both scenarios.

    Its about having the options there, the ipad doesn't have those options, so therefore is inferior. Not to mention viewing them on the android tablets would be a better experience due to them having better screens.

    Typical, state some facts which point towards a non-apple product being better and you're suddenly an apple hater. That and excuses are made as to why you possibly wouldn't need the extra features, if you needed them apple would have supplied them I'm sure!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    What a bizarre reaction. The thread is about the pros and cons of two products. Why does pointing out benefits of one product qualify a person as a hater of the manufacturer of the other? Truly strange ...
