Tablet Information help please

RobR1205 · 08-06-2012, 07:48 PM

I was issued an iPad2 for school and really enjoy it. It has a long battery life, great graphics for movies/games, and is probably lower in price now that the "new" iPad is out. I watch videos on it all the time, but one thing to think about is that you cannot watch/play anything that requires Adobe Flash Player on it. <--Someone correct me if I'm wrong, though. It runs on WiFi, but if you are willing to pay the extra $$$ (I personally don't) then you can use 3G pretty much anywhere with your service.

I have a cheap android E-Reader for books, but if/when I pull the trigger on a real tablet, this is what I will be getting.

Th real question is what are you trying to watch? From a practical standpoint, remember that Apple devices do not support flash, so if the video is streamed in a flash container, you cannot watch it on an iPad of any sort.

Personally, I like Android tablets. While they are not as sleek as iPads and don't have quite the battery life, I feel they better represent what the tablet market was trying to accomplish in terms of a mobile platform for actual work and utility. Plus, having an Android based phone means everything is synced between the two devices via my Gmail account. That makes work, email, documents, and all of that much easier to manage.

A coworker just got a FEW of these. He carries one with him a lot. He can actually get it in his pocket a lot of the time. Looks great, feels great, runs super fast, and seems to be a great price, too.

So if I'm not downloading anything the 8gb should be good.
I don't think thier is a deference in speed between the two?

Too small for me -- I need more than a 7" screen -- and I know that is personal preference.
