I agree: Android is less stable than iOS. Question is, what to prefer. A unit that's doing only 3 things but is doing them more or less flawlessly. Or a unit that's doing 10 things out of the box and allows for another 734 things with some tweaking and sometimes struggles over some "exotic" apps or actions.

I'm switching back and forth between both and I can recommend them equally. Both are milestones in the area of "tablets", which has been struggling for about 5 years. My Samsung UMPC (Ultra Mobile PC = kind of subnotebook with Windows XP, tablet edition) did cost $ 1.200 only 2 years ago and is totally obsolote in comparison to both...

Re. your experience: I wouldn't compare PocketBook IQ (how much was it? € 200?) to iPad, which is at least 3 times the price.

BTW: You can purchase iPad in German "Saturn" and "Media Markt". They've got plenty on stock. I don't know of any shortage here.
You keep forgetting I am in Spain now
