Any computer can get its RAM upgraded, doesn't make it any better, other than it helps in performance. However, all the iPad apps and games are DESIGNED to work in those RAM limitations, unlike most Android games. You DON'T get better performance in Android games because 99% of them are designed to work fluidly with the slowest low-end device that you can buy. If you want proof, my $80 Huawei Fusion 2 AT&T GoPhone can run Sonic The Hedgehog 4: Episode 2 with no problems whatsoever. It can even run that Drastic DS emulator, and it's only a 3.5" screen.
What good is NFC if there's nothing that takes advantage of it? It's just a wasted piece of tech inside a device that nobody is actually using.
I DON'T watch Netflix, I DON'T spend more than five minutes on Twitter every two months, I DON'T use Facebook more than once ever four months. My iPad is a productive tool. It is an accessory to my computer.
I use Texas Instruments's Nspire CAS app, I use Steinberg's Cubasis, my note taking app of choice is Noteshelf, my text editor of choice is Quick Drafts. TextExpander helps me to write efficient code without having to switch between the various layouts, and when I do need to watch a bit of video, I stream it from my computer to the iPad Mini using QuikIO.
It's all about the ecosystem. And honestly, I'm tired of waiting for Android to mature.
