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.

But no, Android is not as same as iPad. Actually, Android is an operating system and not a device. iOs (runs on iPad)s and Android operating system (runs on Android Tablets) are different, main difference relies on applications and multitasking. iPad are very similar to iTouch in the way they work and the Operating System they run. If you own an iTouch you will feel comfortable using an iPad. |

I did some research on this today and checked out devices on CNET. There really aren't any comparable to the iPad2 currently, but it looks like several are in the works. But they still have to play catch up to iPad.

![]() And I am aware you own a Xoom. But with a small and starting market for Honeycomb, SD card no working, 4G not working yet, I don't see how the Xoom, right now, can be better. |

I would reevaluate my thoughts in a year or so, but the Xoom has too many unfinished features that right now I would not say it's better than iPad. I like it but it is not ready and barely have Honeycomb ready apps. That will take months to change or develop. The Xoom it's too heavy, more expensive and without enough apps at this moment to be considered perfect or better than iPad. A good market and lot of apps are the 50% or more of the device's value; we don't have that for Honeycomb yet. Last edited by jocampo; 04-15-2011 at 08:42 AM. |
