IBTIMES Tech & Trend Writes: "The new iPad is under immense hype right now, the device is becoming the hottest thing to own, but do you really have to? There are other tablets out there that are able to do just about everything and more compared to the new iPad. They might not be the easiest to use, but with an Android tablet, users are likely to have more choices than with the new iPad. One such Android tablet is the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1, one of the best Android has to offer."

my type of article.
dont want a tablet anytime soon though... it seems every time one gets my attention they come out with a new one or an updated device... its worse than the phone front. but the note is interesting. if nothing extremely impressive and new comes out by august Ill buy one.
the day I buy it the the note 10.2 will get announced knowing my luck
I see no valid reason to buy a Note 10.1 over an iPad...
1) Stylus... This is a really dumb reason.. First of all, you gotta carry the stylus separately everywhere and apart from just drawing graffiti, it's pretty much useless. I'd much rather navigate with my fingers than use a Stylus. As Steve said, God has given you 10 Styluses. Use them instead.
2)Apps side by side... Probably the only justifiable reason within all of those. But still how much will that affect battery life is yet to be seen. I'd like to keep an IM chat or Twitter window open while I am surfing the web.
3)Attach a mouse... Again moot point. Tablets are meant to be mobile. Even if you are at a desktop, why would you use a mouse. Aren't people crying that the Win 8 in a hassle to navigate using a mouse and it's good while using a touch screen... Same argument here.
4)Thinner.... This is the most ridiculous point. I'd much rather take an iPad with nearly double the battery life of the Note 10.1 than something that is just 0.8 mm more thinner. Seriously, will you even notice the difference? Even Apple could have created the slimmest tablet, but they wanted better battery life.
5)ICS... Oh, for phones, I can understand, but on a tablet iOS >>>>> Android OS. The Apps itself tip the balance here. When Tim Cook compared Android to iOS, he made a great point of how the apps on Android looked like blown up versions of the mobile apps whereas iOS apps were made from ground up for the iPad. 200,000 apps versus a handful of thousand apps here itself means iPad wins...
Quiet frankly, I think the new iPad easily takes this category... The biggest reason is the retina display... It will blow the notes low res display out of the water. Secondly, 4G is a huge reason as well. With Note 10.1, at max it's HSPA+ (correct me if I am wrong here). Also, iPad will have much better battery life. iPad is more powerful with it's Quad core GPU and it will have better app support. In short, iPad takes this one easy. Unless you REALLY hate Apple and want only Android, I see no reason why anyone would pick the Note over an iPad.
the galaxy note is more customizable thats why i would choose one over an ipad.
I disagree with buying both these tablets and think a windows 8 tablet is the one to wait for.
I have a xoom my other half has a galaxy tab 10.1 and my bro has a ipad and the biggest problem with them all is you still need a windows/osx/Linux computer to have a full experience in everything digital.
Dont get me wrong i love my xoom but it is limited and the ipad is even more limited where windows 8 will not be. It will come with a pen and will work with more or less every x32 and x64 program as well as all new metro programs that are designed for touch and is not limited like both android and ipads are.
For me both android and apple have alot to do in terms of making there tablets replace a pc or laptop and with windows 8 filling that gap they may have to move sooner rather than later.
windows 8 design is realli nice and i see microsoft going deep with the o/s but the marketplace has ALOT of catching up to do, that alone will draw people away from a windows 8 tablet.
