I just bought the samsung galaxy 10.1 tab about 2 weeks ago. I had budgeted about $500 towards a tablet. So in that price range i was looking at the Ipad2 or the Galaxy 10.1- both WiFi versions. Adobe has announced that it would be moving away from flash. But it is not an overnight procedure really. So first off, Android had my vote there. The galaxy tab runs webpages with flash exactly how you would see it on a laptop. I'd say the tab has almost eliminated the need to open my laptop at home, for browsing, emailing and media. Sidenote: I have an iphone4. thought the syncing between an android phone and android tablet would be better, so bought myself the LG Optimus Prime....returned it in 2 days.. i just couldnt stand the android on the phone..way to complicated..and just the simplicity and functionality of the iPhone couldnt be matched. I know a lot of you would disagree, but thats just my opinion. And im not being biased, im just used to iphones, and its harddd to switch to an android phone now. So coming back to tabs, Flash firstly won my vote for the galaxy tab. It was slightly lighter than the ipad2. It has better cameras. The battery life seems to be better even though they are rated to be about the same. And the customizability of the android home page is neat. One thing that i definitely miss, are the apps. The andriod marketplace still has a lot of catching up to do with the apple app store. And the apple store support is unparalleled- walking in with a problem on your device. Walk out with a new device or on the spot repair.
So in all, first figure out what operating system you want, and then shop for a device. Right now..the best tab out there for its price is the Asus transformer Prime. Probably best specs a tab could have, and a very tempting price point.
