Re: Tablet Reviews! Manufacturer: Apple
Model: I pad 1st gen
Screen Size: 10 inches
Storage: 32GB
Android Version: IOS something or other
Back Camera: NA
Front Camera: NA
Carrier: NA wifi only
Pros: It's an Apple product. I was given my Ipad as a Birthday gift. I was in the hospital for a long time [for one of my kids]. During that time, I had moved a desktop computer from home to the hospital room. With the Ipad, I was able to move my desktop back home and browse the web with ease.
Cons: It's an Apple Product.
Review: I like it. The looks, the feel, the function. I still use it to this day. Also the flap about no flash on the Ipad hasn't been a big deal.
Manufacturer: Asus
Model: Nexus 7
Screen Size: 7 inch
Processor(s): Nvida quad core
RAM: 1 GB
Storage: 16 GB
Android Version: Jellybean?
Front Camera: 1.2
Pros: It's smaller, lighter then my Ipad. To new to tell my thoughts/feelings on it. I do like the textured back.
Cons: Having to learn a new OS, and all the fun that comes with that.
Review: I like the voice search. It's kind of funny to see how it interprets what you are saying. I'm not sure if you can train it to recognize your voice or not. It's still only a couple of hours into it. I like the security feature that uses your face as a lock. I'm looking forward to exploring my Nexus 7 over the next week or so. Hopefully I can find a few of the apps that I have on the Ipad on Android. I saw one, I think I can synch that app between my ipad and Android, as it uses google cloud storage/documents. I'll have to experiment. I'm liking the Nexus 7. Also have found out that a couple of Apps I used on my Ipad work on it. The apps synch with the net, so the info I store from my Ipad or my Nexus is available to me on either the Ipad, Nexus, PC with windows, or PC with Linux.

You know I have always wondered about this often complaint, even Apple vs Win.
IT'S a frigging GUI... you tap an icon... how hard is that?
OK on PC' Apple has hard fast sick to on mouse button, Win has two and sometimes 3.
Other than that how are they so mind boggling different??
Same thing with IPuds vs Android... same dam thing just Android lets you do so much more... like a real computer... is that the mind boggling thing?

| There are a few differences. For example:
I didn't know that Chrome had a option of allowing to download mobile version of a site or a desktop version of a site.
If I had, I wouldn't have had to search Google as to way flash/html6 wasn't working on my Nexus.
It's the same thing with the Ipad, there were things that needed to be learned as you used it. Same with using Linux.
Each OS/interface has it's own little quirks that you have to learn.
I even read the nexus 7 book, and I don't recall it saying that about Chrome [about being able to view websites like a desktop or mobile.

Well this exsted long before the Google tenacaled Chrome on Android... but again Apple really doesn't.
Basically sites read your device ID passed by browser and formats for the device... on a phone mobile is pretty much necessary for readability with out a LOT of zooming and scrolling but not tablets, though still ID'd as a mobile devices.
Many video sites also disallow mobile device... that is the thing I find most annoying but again the aliasing browsers are there on Android.
And again this is not unique to Chrome... several other Android browsers (w/o the Google tentacles), alias the mobile ID as a PC. (like Maxthon... at least the Tablet version)
