You're experience doesn't mesh with the majority -- since Android tablets now own about 65% of the tablet market (and are still growing) some folks must be happy with Android tablets. I'm know there are a lot of inexpensive Android tablets that lack the horsepower to run even Android -- which I would also call "toys." Without doing a lot of research I can find Android tablets in my area that cost $40 new. But there are also some very well built, mid-range and expensive Android tablets. My nephew and his family, who used at least four different iPads (the full-sized ones, not the mini), went to the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.2 and wouldn't go back to an iPad. His family almost exclusively uses tablets. So, I guess, the solution is to do market research, test some of the Android tablets and, probably, don't buy the cheapest ones you can find. Personally I'm not a tablet fan. I like my computers, my eReaders and my Android smartphone but, in my opinion, they all have their own purposes. The tablet, for me, is not a replacement for all of these devices -- actually I could find no use for one at all and I've sold my tablet. Obviously others feel differently.
