You decide where you get apps from, where you get content from, what the device can and can't do...
That's the problem for my uses: Android is moving toward what I need, but it's not there yet. It's got a lot of momentum and I see myself switching over in the next year or so, but it isn't viable for me now, and it sure wasn't when I bought an iPad nearly a year ago.

Windows 7 looks like a nonstarter for me. My husband, who used to work at Microsoft and still uses MS, has his reservations as well.

I try to keep up even with my limited tech know-how, but tech is a moving target and there are many tradeoffs, no matter the platform, IMO.
