Okay, here's the scenario. My wife is going in for knee surgery next month and will be in the hospital for 5 days. She wants to load up tunes on my iTouch for while she is there. I'm thinking this will be the best window of opportunity to get an iPad2 since I have to go so long without the iTouch.

I haven't research them yet. Are they basically an iTouch on steroids or do they have additional functions? Also, is an Android the same as an iPad?
