    I think think the general consensus is that other tablets are catching up to the IPAD

    In the new year it should be interesting...the only thing IPAD has over the others is the APPS

      Ohh and the Apple name.

      How many people have heard of ASUS and how many have heard of APPLE? That alone right there will make people spend 100+ bucks extra, even though the ASUS is better than the Apple one.

        I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab,7 inch screen,nice,but now I wish I would have went with the 10 inch screen.

        The smaller Tab is easy to carry around,but the larger Tab is better for watching movies and such.

          How many Apple Apps are not available on the Android Market?

              Trigger, you are crazy guey! That's not making a killing, that is very risky, selling yayo is fine but not worth the risk of selling thizz.

                      I agree with you... and let me just add my $300 Notion Ink Adam can plug HDMI to the TV... thing the iPad can't do without maybe buying a $50 or more accessory... lol are you kidding me... a $700 device and buy some extra accessory to do something a $300 android tablet can do native... L.O.L.

                        didnt do all the research, not here to argue.. but i do love the sleekness of the ipad 2..feels great in the hand...and like i said you can get one for 300 easy...you dont really need to get the 64g/3g model..i only use mine on wifi anyway.

                                        is there something on the ipad that would allow it to stream sports/shows/movies?

                                        yikes, i was ready to get one so that i can watch it while on the treadmill or whatever and it won't even stream stuff because of the flash issue??

                                                      It's overpriced for the average consumer and brand whore. For people that do heavy video, music and photo editing, there's no other option. Apple's video editing software (Final Cut Pro) is light years ahead of anything else out there.

                                                      On the subject of tablets, I'll probably be getting the new Nook tablet. I'd never pay $500 for a tablet. It's a gadget. It will not replace your laptop or desktop.

                                                        Key word there. I'm willing to bet you that the majority of people don't buy Apple for that. People are brand whoring, by buying Apple. They want that logo. It makes them feel better, but clouds their mind that they just spent the high price to surf the web.

                                                            $200 for the 16GB model is very tempting.
