I am in dire need of getting a tablet within the next month (due to school work and my one hour long laptop battery life) and I was considering either getting an Ipad 2 or a Transformer Prime. I want something simple yet powerful and I don't want any hassle with navigating the tablet. I already am accustomed to using android (Having a Droid Razr and Droid 1) however I'm not sure if Android is best with getting a tablet. Please Comment!
Apple has failed to make a product that can beat Android or Windows so you shouldn't consider an iPad. Apple makes nifty little toys and advertises them like gods. I would definately go with an Android tablet. Until Windows 8 (I've used the Developer Preview on a touch screen PC and it is a million times better than iOS, Windows 7 and Android combined, especially with touch) Android is the way to go.
Ahh two very highly rated tablets that each have their own pros and cons I'm an owner of the Transformer, and I love it. It's got very good touch response. Camera quality is poor, though. If the camera doesn't matter to you, then that shouldn't be a problem. With the docking keyboard on, you've got basically a netbook that can play apps. The Transformer's keyboard obviously makes it a lot easier to type, and since you're looking for a tablet for schoolwork and are already accustomed to Android's interface, the Transformer is a nice bet. iPad 2 is in my opinion highly overpriced. It has slightly smoother touch response and a much higher quality camera. But it does not have a docking keyboard. The touch response and camera quality are the only two things that make the iPad 2 better than the Transformer. Of course, you are also accustomed to a wider app market with the iPad. Since you are looking at a tablet for schoolwork, I would say the Transformer is right for you. (I typed that whole thing with my Transformer's keyboard!)
get an ipad, trust me. powerful, easy to use, better apps and incredible battery life
