Objectively, Android might be better than iOS, except for quality workmanship and ease of use. Turns out that what most people want is quality workmanship and ease of use.
The only serious competition I think we will see for a long while will have to come from Amazon, because only Amazon has the marketing mechanism to compete with the ease of use Apple has,
assuming that Amazon can come up with a decent quality Kablet of some kind.
