$100? Seriously??
Those $100 tablets are crap.
And now you want to compare a $500 iPad to a $100 Android tablet?
Yea, ok.
You got what you paid for.
+1 Compare an Asus Transformer to an Ipad if you are trying to make a fair comparison.
I picked up a few 10" HP 32GB Touchpads when they were $130. With Android ICS they are pretty good little tablets. A few quirks since they were never a native Android tablet, but the hardware for the money is awesome (Dual core overclocked to 1800 Mhz).
I still read on a 7" Nook Color that is running Android (not using the Nook app though). I just upgraded it to ICS, but there are a few hiccups with Open GL and video....not an issue since it is just being used for reading duty right now.
I pre-ordered the 16GB Nexus 7. This is going to be my new book reader.
I am controlling my 3 home thermostats, alarm panel, energy monitoring (TED5000), camera monitoring, and camera recording (IPcam viewer) with Android tablets/phones right now. Every time I get a new device, the old ones are going to live in strategic points around the house or be mounted to the wall as thermostat/alarm panel touch pads.
My netbook is on the fritz and I'm sad. I thought about a tablet but after playing with a friends I don't like typing on it. I tend to have my lapbook nearby and on and continually pick it up to research a thought, a question, look for a product, surf etc. while I'm watching tv and that's a fair amt of typing even just as a web device. I LOVE my netbook and all the crappy technology web writers are killing them with all their reporting of them being passe and over. You can't sit a tablet in your lap and use two hands to type very well. I like a keyboard and no I don't want to screw around with a dock. The new and probably last ASUS 1025 doesn't get very good reviews, like they didn't care. So I have to find an older one to buy.
Tablets are good for reading, watching youtube.
I received an iPad 1 as a gift. I use it to watch Netflix and stream music. That's about it though. Still prefer my bulky Toshiba laptop for most purposes.
Just got an Android tablet typing on it now. My laptop is officially for games now. Actually I am talking to my tablet.... and it is entering this text....

What did you get? I just got the Nexus 7 and am in love. The only necessary mods for me were 1. Root and 2. Ultimate Rotation app so the stock Nexus launcher works in landscape mode. I also have a 7 inch Nook Color and a 10 inch HP Touchpad running Android CM9 builds; they pale in comparison to this new tab though. Games are smooth and comfortable on this size tablet and the processor runs everything I have thrown at it smoothly.
I got a refurb Toshiba Thrive that looks new, the 10 inch one, for $209.
Very pleased.
