Question by : Ipad 2 or Samsung galaxy tab?
Hello everyone!
I’m a student at university and I’m looking to buy a new tablet. I’m debating between buying an Ipad 2 or the new Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. Does anyone have any experience with these? I’m going to be using my tablet during class to take notes, look at presentations, and access the internet (if need be). So my main question is….
Which tablet is better for students? Ipad2 or the Galaxy tab?

For school use, I recommend the Galaxy. Apple give people a hard time viewing certain files/programs that are commonly used in education enviroments. The Galaxy will offer more versatility, better hardware/software, and access to all information. Ipad if you are just bringing it to class to show people you have money and know nothing of technology. Good Luck!

iPad 2 all the way. There is an app for literally everything and it’s battery life if great! It’s made by Apple so you know it will last forever.
Galaxy Tab for sure. iPads don’t really like anything not made by Apple(including Microsoft Word documents, Powerpoints, etc.). The iPad 2 is just way overpriced for what it does. There’s VERY little, if any customization. With Android devices(such as the Galaxy Tab) customization is nearly infinite. You can do something small like change the background, and the icons. You can go further than that, and put a whole different theme on it. You can go even further than that, and make you own version of Android. It’s as simple or complex as you want it. With anything Apple, you’re forced to be treated like you’re an idiot. And Android devices are getting pretty fast, and Apple is falling behind. Samsung Galaxy Nexus? 1.2GHz. iPhone 4S? 0.8GHz. The Galaxy Tab, I believe, also has a 1.2GHz processor. So Galaxy Tab all the way 🙂
Samsung Galaxy Tab (7-inch, 16GB, Wi-Fi) feels like a conveniently oversized Android phone, and that is a GOOD thing, because of my familiarity with Android phones. The icons look conveniently big now. Unlike Honeycomb, most applications run great because it’s technically a software for phone. Pandora, book reading apps, Pulse, all run great.
