Nexus 10 or I Pad 10?

In the market. Seems some of the gurus around here are going to the Nexus. Sure there are other opinions. Lets hear 'em. I will add I am, for no particular reason, not a big Apple fan, but can be swayed.
  • It really is less about the device and more about who you want to buy your media and apps from.

  • I just spent about an hour at Best Buy yesterday. They had Samsung reps on site who could answer very detailed questions about the various products. Since I have a Galaxy phone it seems to make sense to buy a Galaxy or Nexus (some version of Google anyway) but I also have a Win8 laptop so I was considering replacing that with a tablet, dock and bluetooth keyboard. The Win8 stuff is just so expensive by comparison and I seem to be finding via replacements for the Win8 thing I am now using (printer software, e-mail, browsing, etc.) but I just can't seem to pull the trigger on either one.
  • If you already own an android phone, or an iPhone, go with the make of what you have.

    If neither, think about the phone also. All my Android apps can be installed on the Nexus 7 and my phone with out repurchased.

    If you are thinking that you will use the Nexus or I pad as an e-reader, spend the hundred dollars and by a proper e-reader with eink. The color screen, glare, and poor resolution in daylight make a color tablet a poor reading device. I get eye strain quickly while reading on my tablet, so also bought a paper white.

    Yeah I done it up good. Actually it was suppose to be an I Pad vs. a Galaxy! :o :o. Been looking at so many I am thoroughly confused! :?
  • I really like the iPad but have not used or owned a nexus. A lot of the decision depends on what you want to do with It. List your objectives and you will get better answers.
