Well, I know this forum is dedicated for iPad. But I think many member of this forum also have android devices. So my question is which device and which iOS you like most and why. Right now I don't have any android device of my own. But recently I am thinking about to have one. So let me know your opinion. Thanks in advance.
I have the mini and the 3 as well as the nexus 7 and nexus 10, both of which run Android 4.2.1. Jelly Bean is the absolute best version of Android (I had an Acer Iconia, tried an Asus Infinity Pad TF700, and a Kindle Fire HD 8.9) around. I think I like the Nexus 10 more than I like the 7. I've seen both of these tabs get laggy while playing games.
IMO, iOS is just the smoothest mobile OS around. And the app selection is just off the charts compared to Android. I like apps and for me, lots of them enrich the experience of owning and using a tablet. Android just doesn't seem to hold a candle, not to say the tablet is not useful. The Nexus 10 actually rocks the best for content...I've got mine setup to use flash so I can do
Amazon Prime videos on it. Still, my overall favorites are the iPad...the mini will be my absolute fav once it gets that retina screen...but it is certainly the one I like to have when i'm sitting on the couch.
BTW, trying to type forum posts here on either of the Nexus devices is some kind of nightmare. I cant' exactly figure out what the problem is, but I'm forced to either use the app or grab an iPad.
On, the mini rocks at game play....I have seen warning about low-memory conditions when starting certain games after having had a lot of stuff in memory...I suspect some apps are closing right or something. I just remove everything and play is always what you expect.
The screen on the Nexus 10 is certainly every bit on par with the retina iPads. Text is crisp and clear. They same to have the same color temp as the iPads too, which is not the case for the Nexus 7. The sound on the Nexus 10 is a pleasure too, compared to the other Android tab I had, the Asus Infinity iPad. I could hold that thing right to my face and still have to struggle to hear it. Took that back!!! The Kindle Fire 8.9 just could not hold a candle to any of these, IMO. The "thick" skin on top of Android drove me nuts. Also, you could see distortions in the screen image if you put your fingers too close to the borders of the screen image. No way! I sent that thing back, even though I got it on sale for $50 off.
My particular Nexus 10 has noticeable light bleed in the lower right corner. I can see it right now while sitting here listening to a Sade video...the image is lovely still. I'm too lazy to take it back trying to get a perfect screen, though. I can live with it. My iPad show no noticeable light bleed. I did see some on the Kindle and the Infinity Pad.
I admit that Android has a lot of flexibility, which can be a plus sometimes. But I think that flexibility comes at a cost...needs lots of processor power to keep the OS running smoothly. And it is very disappointing to see how some apps deal with the high-res screen. I have some apps that simply won't load on my Nexus 7....can't say how much that pisses me off. No issues like that on iOS and the iPads.
Finally, the battery life on both of the Androids comes up short compared to the iPads. And the Nexus 10 takes quite a while to charge up, too.
Anyway, just some random thoughts....Sade is really sounding good right now...
