Ipad 2 or Samsung Tab 2 ?
 

Hi all, im thinking to buy me a tablet and i really dont know what to choose from these two ones; so i invite owners of one of these models to post pros and cons of the tablet they have.

thanks :thumbsup

iPad 3.. but if you can't I'd settle for an iPad 2

I don't see any advantages to the samsung tab

ipad or asus transformer.
both have their pros and cons.

I just picked up an iPad2, very happy with it.

Here are the Tablets I have in my house in the order I'd buy them.

iPad 3
HP Touchpad (x3)
Galaxy Tab 8.9
Barnes and Noble Nook Color

iPad - You will be glued to it

Ipad, hands down... :thumbsup

i looked around, but android looks more flexible than apple ...

Theres the iPad and then theres the rest of them.

Using both I like the touch screen and ease of use with the iPad, I prefer the smaller size of the 7" droid tablets, and there's getting to be better app support for android. I'd still go with an iPad, but in two years the android might be a better choice - we'll see.

Samsung rulez.... the funny is that Apple using Samsung cpu on ipads hahahaha

iPad. Samsung has a wonderful habit of never rolling out updates to Android.

iPad 3 :) ... If you get a Samsung anything you'll never or rarely ever will see an update. Why do that to yourself

I have both (IPad 3 and Samsung 10.1). Before I could recommend one or the other I would have to ask what you would be doing with it and what other devices phones etc do you have?

My ipad is the first thing I grab in the morning and the last thing i shut off at night. Maybe the others are just as good but this thing is amazing.

Personally,

I would never use anything that does not have FLASH.

Apple tries to make you purchase their content through iTunes by disabling flash.

+1 for HP Touchpad, best purchase I ever made.

very much so. ipad is a siple tool, what you see is what you get, want to change something or use apps from someplace other then the app store...tough shit... I have an ipad (original - got it right after release) and a motorola xoom. The new android 4.04 is awsome. beats ipad hands down. But some people like simple, unflexable stuff like ipad..

Oh forgot to mention, my xoom (android) is 4G, i can download at about 29mps and upload at 10mps.. let an ipad top those numbers when you are not on wifi...heck even on wifi...ipads wifi is horrible

I wouldnt use a samsung tab if they paid me. Get an ipad. Tablets are all about the apps. Dont get stuck with a third rate copy cat product, unless you're poor.

Samsung of course.

qft :2 cents:

samsung all the way

The Samsung is not good (have one), everything else that is created all these tablets are pretty much all knockoffs of the IPAD 2cents....

I have an iPad 3, and my wife has an iPad 2. The thing about Apple products, yes like Venus said... they're simple devices. But on the flip side, they're very polished devices. Everything is very smooth. All the transitions are flawless, etc. Android devices have a strange stutter to them that makes the transitions herky-jerky. Like when you scroll a web page, it stutters for a second... and then it starts scrolling. And it's quite noticeable.

There was a Jailbreak for iOS 5.1 released about a week ago that removes the dependency on the iTunes App Store.

The other thing is the screen of the iPad 3 is better than sex. 2048 x 1536 is quite a sight at 9.7". The problem with the iPad 2 is it's 1024 x 768 resolution makes small text literally unreadable, and I hate being able to see the pixels on the text I'm reading.

Remember, these tablets are meant to be replacements for books and magazines, and meant for surfing casually. Clean looking text is critical, and the only device currently on the market that gives you clarity similar to an actual book is the iPad 3.

The reason I never owned an iPad 2 was because the pixel density really sucks... I strongly suggest avoiding it for the higher resolution model. It will be money well spent.

You do know that the only two companies in the world that make LCD screens are Samsung and Panasonic right? :eek2

This means that your Sony, Sharp Aquios, Toshiba, and other retailers use Samsung and Panasonic parts ...

Its just the nature of the beast ..

The BMW is a very 'simple' car as far as bells and whistles go ... I mean fuck, it does not even have cupholders! :Oh crap

Yet people do not seem to mind paying the premium for something that is built well, and does what it was meant to do very well!!

I have the original 32GB 1G iPad, (jailbroken) and I still prefer it to my sister's brand new Galaxy Tab 10.1 (ICS) - HANDS DOWN w/o QUESTIONS!!

She prefers the iPad also ... but got the Tab in a Rogers promotion for activating 2 smartphones ...

I am saving my money for the Asus Tablet 810 running Windows 8. But I already own a Asus Transformer so am in no hurry.

Will see by then how this new OS performs, battery life etc. and then decide what new tablet to buy.

dont try any product with ie8

Bought an ipad2, hate it. Zero flexibility.. hell, I can't even use openvpn on the damn thing. Gave it to my 2 y/o to play angry birds on and take shitty pictures with. All the damn thing is good for.

Currently waiting for the Asus Transformer TF700T Infinity to be released...

Even though I'm digging the new iPad, the HP Touchpads we snagged for $99 are definitely the best tech purchases I've ever made.

you do know that apple has stolen some of the ideas from android dont you, the pull down menu, over the air updates (you used to have to tether your iphone/ipad to computer to get updates). Apple is a big copycat....dont get stuck with it :)

Samsung Tab hands down. Apple products are just plain inferior

all apple products suck so much...

Samsung all the way down.

Samsung will DESTROY APPLE in a few years.
