These apply whether we're discussing OS updates or absent features. Always a double standard. Not very hard to spot when you look for it. Quote:

I was hoping Google would lower the price of the Galaxy Nexus after they replaced it with the Nexus 4; but instead, they removed it and stopped all sales. |

Obviously I have never had the same vision Steve Jobs did. Although I still haven't found much need for an Android or iOS tablet. Our Nook Color gets very little use. The Surface is probably the closest to what I want in a tablet right now, but the lack of apps and Microsoft's closed ecosystem really stinks, and is not what I expected from them. |

I'd definitely agree with IOS crashing a lot more but they do a good job of covering it up to the end user so most of the time so it's not something that's noticed as much as it should be.
Last time I checked my iTunes crash logs there were literally dozens of crashes a day most seemingly down to lack of memory on the devices. |

Well, that's true of the (ARM-based) Surface RT. It's not true of the forthcoming (x86-based) Surface Pro, or any of the other non-RT Windows 8 tablets (whether forthcoming or already released).

And I know the original discussion was limited only to Android tablets and iPad apps, but if we're looking for a competing tablet app that beats the iPad, I think Microsoft Office for Windows 8 tablets has a shot. Got my Surface today, and was blown away by how full-featured Office is on the tablet. And this is just the preview edition of Office, the final full version is coming as a free downloadable update when it's ready. Android has been tremendously successful on the phone side of things, but despite efforts by Google and Android licencees it seems to have struggled somewhat on the tablet side, this despite (with apologies to WebOS and the Playbook) it being the only serious competition to the iPad up until now. The entry of Windows 8 into the tablet space is more of a problem for Android than iOS, especially with Samsung, Acer, and most other prominent Android tablet makers also releasing Windows 8 tablets.
