I just bought the Galaxy Note for my brother. It's a solid tablet, and does everything you need a tablet to do for a better price than the iPad, but most of the reasons listed are valid points.

But how do you validate either compared to the Nexus 7. If you don't mind a 7" screen and no micro SD support then the Nexus 7 is hands down the best tablet at least for the rest of this year.

"Win 8 is PERFECT for touchscreens and its ui is soooo clean"

They have two main screens and adding widgets/gadgets (or whatever they're called) takes about 3 more steps than on Android. Win 8's UI is horridly unintuitive.

Both iPad and Android have much better interfaces than Win8.

@SilentNegotiator I have to disagree with you. I have an Ipad 2, Moto Xoom and a Windows 8 on my ultra book and by far Window 8 is the best OS out of the 3 because it is 1 os that will do everything a Android and Ipad will do as well as everything a Mac and Windows XP/7 pc will do form Office, Printing, Full web access to full gaming.

If I had to pick between a android tablet and Ipad I would have to pick the Xoom out of them all because now it has Jelly bean it is by far the best Android tablet on the Market but I agree with raytraceme if you want a tablet wait until the Surface comes out as it is a table everyone needs as it is not limited like Android and Ipads are as with a Surface you don't need a pc as well where you do with Android and Ipad.

Most people DON'T need a PC. An ipad or Android tablet allows you to email, use facebook, and surf the web. TA-DA! Everything the average computer user needs.
