    The iPad and the Sony are in completely different leagues. The iPad without question.
  • And you can get an iPad 2 for £299.99 through Ebuyer on Ebay.

    Thank you,

    what would be the key differences? the ones that took my interest was the Sony's ability to read an SD card, that said, would I actually use that much. I really don't known the difference with Android, and Apple customer service is excellent, even if you haven't bought it from them. Resale value is also good. I'll probably play safe and stick to Apple - John Lewis looks a better deal £30 more and you deal with them, plus you get an extra 12 month warranty.

    If your concerned about customer support, for android devices then you will be looking at the equipment manufacturer, such as sony, samsung, motorola, htc etc etc

    I've been looking at the Asus Transformer / Transformer Prime. When you get sick of trying to type stuff on a tablet, it has a keyboard with a touchpad you can dock the tablet into and it turns it into a netbook in effect.
