Even though I prefer Android over Apple, the iPad is better. The reason is, an unsubsidized WiFi only version sells for $499. I've yet to see a major Android tablet target that price point.

Somehow, Android tablet makers have it in their heads that these tablets should be treated like smartphones. They'll either sell them subsidized through a carrier with a 2-year contract and a forced data plan or unsubsidized at prices much higher than the iPad base model. What's with that?

Apple has nothing to fear with this mindset. They've already won.
