Wife with iPad vs Husband with Xoom
There is no general discussion area so I hope it is ok to post here.
I am the Apple Queen. He is the Android King.
Here is what we have so far:
On entering a web address into the URL bar to a site neither of us has visited yet on the mobile devices, both Safari and Terra smoked Google Chrome by loading a min of 20-30 sec faster (often even longer for him).
He has Flash Player, so he gets a point for that. But neither of us has Java for games online, etc. ( more controversial issues I know).
Some of his Apps are free, but most are the same.
The Xoom is as heavy as a brick while the iPad is more like a frisbee 🙂
He was able to replace his native keyboard to a more natural one with arrow keys. I know this a controversial issue but I still miss the arrow keys. I have arthritis and it's a challenge for me to not have them. I plan to go the way of an App to type then copy/paste.
Dragon is free for us and that App is WAY more accurate on the iPad. I use it a lot for writing in lieu of typing.
Each has it's own pros and cons. It's a matter of preference really. He has an Android phone so the Xoom was a better choice due to comfort. He is Apple challenged.
I didn't even consider a Xoom. Hands down I pick the iPad over other tablets any day.
I'll try to add more as we each discover our newest gadgets.
