The Apple tablet

zZSportZz

Posting from my iPad and I absolutely live it. Blows me away. Honestly just the netflix app alone makes it worth it. ABC has an app (can stream all shows). CBS has an iPad friendly site (can stream all the shows) and converted all their video to HTML 5. ESPN is now iPad friendly. Life is good . Not to mention a hulu app is in the works.

If you are looking for a laptop replacement, this isn't for you. If you are looking for the ultimate media consumption device....I'd buy one tomorrow if I were you

This is only my second apple device, so I'm no where near a fanboi. But excuse me while I kick back and stream the Spartacus episode I missed....in HD...on netflix....on my iPad

That was to be expected - not hard to jailbreak something thats already jailbroken in a smaller form

The only thing that worries me is Google is building its own OS currently.
If they go tablet will they use Android or their Chrome OS? It might be up to the hardware companies in the end, but I am sure Google will have a lot of input.

Android was made by Google...

It is, but Google has two systems going now: Android & Chrome OS.
Android is their mobile phone system which has also been proven to work very well as a tablet setup.
Chrome OS is designed from the ground up as a netbook/web system. It has not been developed enough to know if it will work well as a tablet solution, but with a product like the JooJoo which is 100% web based it proves that Chrome OS might be a viable tablet system.

I have an android phone (droid on verizon) and iPhone on AT&T. My droid is through work, my iPhone is my personal phone. My droid stays in my desk at work. Andoid OS sucks in my opinion. It's slow as hell compared to the iPhone. The media player is pathetic, and web browsing is a chore. Apps are hit or miss with terrible buggy quality of most apps...and the touch screen sucks (though that's a phone issue and not an OS issue) The same app on the iPhone is about 100 times better in quality (Google maps for example). Windows Mobile 7 is learning, by developing a "closed loop" app store pretty much copying apple, so they won't have the app cluster **** that is android. However, if specs mean more than function to people, the new HTC evo 4g on sprint seems pretty cool. Too bad it runs android.

The only thing andoid has for it over iPhone OS is multitasking, but I'm a jail breaker so it doesn't affect me much. The iPod functionality of the iPhone OS trumps anything android though.

There is a lot of opinion(s) in your post but also a lot of miss information.
Google maps is actually a lot worse on the iPhone, first Google Maps is a few revisions ahead on the Droid, Apple has stopped updates on Google Maps between a debate with Google & Apple. The app store on Android is controlled, you do have the ability to installed unknown apps but those are not in the app store.

Apps are 100 times better on the iPhone OS v. Android, would love to hear some actual apps or examples of this. Everything my co-worker(s) and my personal usage of the iPhone shows both apps run equally on the Droid and iPhone.

Android browser, well there is Opera if you are unhappy, but the only thing the Droid browser lacks is pinch to zoom...wait it got that in 2.1 update.

What does jailbreaking have to do with multitasking at all?

The reason Android feels slower more than likely is BECAUSE of its ability to multitask, and I'll take that any day over a more "fluidic" feel.

That "app cluster ****" you are talking about is the reason those of us with Android phones love them. We don't have Steve Jobs looking over our shoulder telling us what we want. This means I can get apps that allow me to torrent, have mixed content, allow me to have "alternate" ways to my music as well as being able to -really- VoIP with no strings attached a-la AT&T.

Also, I've used both and saying either is much faster or slower is silly. They are about the same speed.

But back on topic, the iPad sucks~
