Yes, I just love talking out of my ass. I have no clue what I'm talking about. I don't use a tablet on a daily basis. I don't own a whole array of mobile devices, from a range of manufacturers... or even have tested them extensively. You're right, I'm a follower... I only buy the things I think will make me look cool.

If I thought a Transformer Prime 700 would make me look cool, I would have bought that instead. I was considering buying the Kindle HD, but you know... it just didn't seem flashy enough for me. I can only own the most expensive devices, because I'm just that shallow. I love wasting money, because I have so much of it.



Someone's a bit overly emotional about this, don't you think?

The 4th generation iPad gets top ratings amongst modern tablets.

Here's some reviews that say it's pretty much top notch.

Let's see the reviews that say the contrary.

Oh and let's talk about "nobody disputing this". The iPad is the #1 selling tablet in the world. How do you think that happened, if the iPad is the super-old-tech shit-sucking device you claim it is?

Android devices use what's known as a Hardware Abstraction Layer that essentially acts as a mediator between the JavaScript OS and the instructions issued directly to the hardware. The reason Android devices need to bump up the CPU specifications and require more memory is because there is WAY more overhead occurring with the Android OS.

That's the reason you see so much stutter when you flick a page back and forth with an Android device... Nobody disputes that.

Speaking of stuttering... I took the liberty of doing a quick YouTube search for you, simply searching for "Android Stutter".



I'll ruin the ending for you... so you won't have to watch it:

Like:

* Screen Size
* S Pen - Notetaking
* Battery Life
* The Fastest Android Phone I've used
* Media looks great
* Games look great and play well

Didn't Like:

* Buckled under heavy processing
* Typical Android Stuttering did crop up
* Screen wasn't as sharp as I would have liked (text)
* Text flashing during transitions, animations (like while scrolling)
* Photos and video weren't as true to life as I would have hoped

Bottom Line:

* If you don't mind the caveats, It's a Recommended Device
* Compare only to SIII
* Compare with iPhone? Two different galaxies, literally



So, here's the summary:

iOS is a LOW LEVEL OS. It interfaces directly with hardware components giving you a robust smooth user experience that does not require mega specs in order to give you a great experience.

Android is a HIGH LEVEL OS requiring a Hardware Abstraction Layer (because Google does NOT manufacture hardware, they need to provide an OS that can function on many types of hardware). It is a Java OS.
