The main issues is that Apple dont give you what you need, only what they want you to have, hence my comments that if you have more apple devices then go apple, if you have a brain and like to make your own choices then android

P.s all on one card, maybe you should invest in bigger memory cards.

All those images aren't going to fit on any tablet, clearly you need to be using a laptop with a good size hdd

Anyone reading this thread will notice that no one has said anything against Android Tablets, I'm sure they're great. Then we have Tony trying to slag off the iPad and ending up sucking Lemons as once again he's proved wrong.

He'll try to twist what he said now, never one to own up and admit when wrong.

Lets make Jack look stupid now

I would wait and see what the offerings are from Apple and Samsung in the near future, the biggest plus side to the Samsung is USB capability (with an adapter), the ipad doesnt have this.
Also read the reviews, in tests the Samsung does seem to edge it over the ipad, but its that close it will be down to whether you prefer IOS or Android.

Tony
Uploading pictures for example Jack, on the Samsung its plug straight into the camera, easy, on the ipad its upload them to your pc then off to your ipad.... quite a big advantage for the 10.1 i think, and now having played with both, the 10.1 seems to be the nicer to use, the apple looks the nicer with its metal case.

Tony
Carry on Jack, I dont need a card reader, I wont even have to remove the card out of the camera, just plug in and upload, all done, then delete off card and im ready to go again
Plus USB, as 99.99999999999% of all (decent) devices use this, its pretty much accepted universally, and I dont have to buy expensive apple junk
Etc, etc, etc.

It only gets bad Jack when you start abusing people, and you wonder why we rip into you
You bite at everything when we say "its not as good as Apple", and to be honest Jack, they are getting beyond Apple technically, has been like that for quite some time now

Make me look bad! Every one of your quotes is full of misinformation and sly digs at iPad owners. You'd look far less silly if you typed less.

Yes, it really makes you look foolish
Its only Apple, Apple, Apple for you, I point out a VERY big issue (actually there are more as the android tablet market have more adaptability to other devices/accessories than apple does), then you deny wrong doing and try to turn things round unfortunately it doesnt work Jack, you are too far gone for anyone to take notice of you now

I think the phrase I'm looking for is 'worms can opened of a' or something like that....

By what I gather there are upsides and downsides to both Android and Apple. I understand the restrictive nature of Apple but I don't think for the limited use I'll be subjecting it too that this would be a hinderance.

I'll be more interested in the speed and resolution [as I feel that the internet browsing of Apple and Android are pretty similar] of the product.

Not having looked but I also assume that the battery lifes are similar?

Connectivity of USB is a concern as I do has a DSLR and compact but if I was on holiday a small card reader wouldn't take up too much room.

Some good stuff [though handbags do seem to be drawn Jack/Tony ]. Sorry if I've stirred the pot, not my intention.

Cheers all..

I'm no photographer either but I believe it is down to the resolution/quality of the pictures rather than the numbers, may be wrong though

It does but on the basis that a 14 megapixal [+] is in excees of 14Mb each 2000 is about right in RAW.

There's another new Asus Transformer Prime coming out this year that might be worth a look. On a side note WiFi SD Cards will more than likely be out soon, so there will be no need to connect any cables to anything.

Edit: WiFi cards are already out, not cheap though. http://uk.eye.fi/products/mobilex2

Let me show you something Tony that's the adaptor - you even mention it - that you need to connect a camera to a Samsung Tab, you then slate the iPad for needing one. Mental.

And the fact just one day of photos would fill a tablet seems to be ignored

I suppose you could upload them to some cloud based storage, wipe them off your tablet, then upload some more.

Thing is ipads need extra equipment to accomplish what tablets half the price can do. That is not the major issue for me though its the complete lack of butons that pisses me off, and how slow itunes is and how expensive they are, and how restricive they are and .............

Luan, you have no idea what you're talking about. Your argument is like saying the iPad is **** because it doesn't have a knife, how are you supposed to eat your dinner without one. The control argument is rubbish too, Manufacturers have more control of Android, fact.

Then why did I find the iphone and ipods such annoying pieces of crap to own ? Why did my ipods keep deleting the music off themselves ? I base my dislike of Apple entirely on apple products I actually owned. If I genuinley thought that the ipad would not annoy the **** out of me I would have one. As it happens I have had 2 ipods, 1 3gs and 1 iphone 4. I have given Apple plenty of time to impress me to see what the fuss was about and they failed.

Yeah never thought of that, certainly not practical. Extra memory cards or a laptop would be needed if you were taking enough photos to fill one card.

I can't understand why your iPods kept deleting music off themselves, I'm not saying it didn't happen but I've had 2 iPods I have an iPhone 4 and and iPad 2 and have never encountered that.
I have never known anyone else have that issue either.

Lets see..... go search through the ammount of android tabs, see which ones have usb and hdmi support, the ipad has neither, look at my first quote also as I stated that its best waiting to see what the ipad 3/galaxy 11.6 bring, we will see the 11.6 next month at MWC and maybe the month after with the samsung screened ipad, totally ironic
Also one of my points was that I dont have to let apple go anywhere near my data, I should be able to upload my pictures to my home NAS drive via wi-fi (though I shall look into this a little more ) and I dont need to carry 10 million adapters around, one of my points, if apple dont provide it then they dont support it, I even had to get a non apple car charger because they didnt do one at the time works fine on the 3gs but doesnt support the 4....

Like I said originally before jack shouts "apple only, you will regret everything else" see what is coming, its not far off

Tony

PS, did i mention flash support?

All this drivel Tony and all you have to do is admit you're wrong, that's never going to happen you're doing your usual muddying of the waters to avoid the facts.

Let me help you out, all Apple products charge via USB. Try Google, search for USB car charger.

Im not wrong though Jack, apple only give you what apple want to give you, not what the customer wants, THAT is also one of the problems....

So the iPad doesn't have USB capability with an adaptor? Or are you wrong?

Have a look at this, it might help your decision.

Tony I bought a non apple in car charger from Argos made by gear4 for less than £10, worked fine with my 1st and 4th gen iPod,s and guess what it works fine with my iPhone 4 as well, you should get one!
