Hi
I am looking at buying my first tablet and the new Google Nexus 10 v new Ipad 5 (both are rumoured to be released any day).
I currently have Iphone/Itunes/Macbook so syncing music etc will be easy however I don’t intend to use the tablet for music- mainly videos downloaded from Bittorent/Vuze, are these easy to get onto the Nexus?
Also the Nexus is going to be around £350 (rumoured) for the 32gb and Ipad 5 £479...with the IPAD you know you are getting a solid/reliable product, is this the same with the Nexus e.g ease of use/file transfer/battery life etc?
Thanks

Torrents yes plenty of Android torrent clients .
But as you are in the Apple garden i suggest you stay there . To much trouble for many to move all their stuff over and learn a new OS .That is in no way saying Apple is superior just you have all your stuff in their format so to speak and that counts for more in my view with no real difference in either Android or Apple .0 -
Android devices tend to be much better for video as you can just plug them into a PC and transfer media without software over MTP/MSC and the devices themselves handle a wide range of media which means transcoding isn't necessary.
As for the two devices you've mentioned, it's anyone's guess as neither have been released nor are details confirmed on them. The Nexus devices are generally pretty solid and updates often, they can have teething issues on release but that's no different to Apple products.
