The biggest argument for the iPad is the large number of apps, and it’s always brought up in comparos, but you have to throw that argument out, because Android has completely free development tools and will have many more users – so in a year or two, Android tablet apps will far exceed those on the iPad. Because it’s open source, in a way, Android is even more hippie than the iPad. That means that really important developments happen faster – such as the 20+ Charlie Sheen apps that are available now.
It also bugs me that Apple operating systems always target below-average IQ’s. The ability to tweak things is there, and the hardware is solid, but they actually make the day-to-day interface more cumbersome to keep dumb people from doing dumb things, rather than making it as intuitive and efficient as possible.
