iPad 3

Honestly, comparing a TP running Android to an iPad isn't really a fair comparison. The TP was never meant to run Android and the version of Android running on it is basically a hack..

True it is not a valid direct comparison but you can still get some valuable insight. You say hack, many people here run the same Cynanogen 9 ROM on their phones. Basically, what you are saying is every rooted phone here w/ a custom ROM is a hack too.

In fact, it runs ICS nicer than my Galaxy Nexus (saved a few quirks: camera/ADB). It loads the market ( I mean Google Play) and downloads tablet apps just fine.
It runs the same tablet apps (Gmail/maps) etc as any other tablet.
I have access to a Xoom, a HTC Flyer, Samsung 7" so I can see the difference. Netflix, astro file manager, twitter,etc all behave the same regardless of which Android device you are running.

Been through this all before with regards to the retina display on the iPhone.

Then you know it has the clearest display of them all. I love the clarity of high resolution t
displays.

One thing I love about Apple is how easy it is to update devices. They announced yesterday that iOS 5.1 was available. Opened up iTunes, hooked up my iPad and then my iPod touch and downloaded the new OS with ease. No sitting around wondering if Samsung or HTC or Motorola was ever going to update my device with the new OS or waiting around for months while other users had it but I didn't.

Everyone seems to have abandoned the positive iPad discussion in favor of Android vs iPad debates, so posts moved, and it seems we're done here.

Anyone disagrees with the actions, drop me a private message, my door is always open.

Meanwhile, discussion posts moved to -
