I brought the iPad as I'm going into hospital and wanted to be able to use the Internet!
I really like all the features of the iPad, I'm able to surf the net, check my email and play games via the net or thru the apps!
Things I dislike about the iPad are: aren't able to upgrade memory and has to sync with iTunes! Can't sync with more than one computer as it will wipe previous syncs
I brought my husband a Samsung galaxy 2 tablet 10.1" and like that system as well. Are able to upgrade memory and you don't have to sync with a particular software! Are able to get files from friends computers easily!
