I too favor the Adam Notion Ink. Although it seems to be one of the pricier but I’d say it still tops the list in features and flexibility. I’d even say it competes with the Motorola Xoom which everyone is touting as the biggest competition for iPad. While I agree Xoom is a great device it also carries a surprisingly hefty price tag. Who would’ve thought Apple would be considered the cheaper option for once, that’s just insane.

Gizmodo is pretty biased towards Apple… Engadget is more neutral…

Where’s the Motorola Xoom comparison????? (It’s only the lead Android 3.0 tablet after all!! =P )

I’ll admit, when I first saw the Ipad I immediately thought “I want one”, although I knew I had no use or need for it. Looking at the above I’m glad I left well alone. No flash support, no multitasking, no camera, no real USB support, and Apples trademark inflated price. All too reminiscent of when the Iphone came out: no 3G, no MMS, no GPS, no flash support, and an inflated price. Now it’s on version 4 the Iphone is just about where it should have been on release, you can even use it as a phone as long as you’re careful to hold it in a certain way, although it’s still got the Apple premium price attached to it.
As for applcations, if a killer app is written for the Ipad then it’ll also get written for Android slates and probably the Windows ones too.
Apple will do as they always do though: advertise their product way more than anybody else and make their money ripping off the fanboys. Anybody not part of the “I’ll buy almost anything as long as it’s shiny and made by Apple” movement will probably wait a few months until they’ve fixed most of the bugs/added features that should have been in to begin with, then take a look around at similar products and opt for one that does everything the Ipad does, a few things it doesn’t, and costs half the price.

I DO NOT recomend to buy a Tablet in “light in the Box”. At least a iMito tablet. Why?
The battery holds only few minutes
The movement sensors seems to be crossed (for instance, it is impossible to play with Laberinth Lite)
Touch sensor is uncalibrating constantly, in fact there is an app named “Calibrate” (so it is known), the problem is that sometimes is still a challenge to press this calibrate button!!

In reviews of the products you will not see any criticism unless it is in a language that they don’t understand. Why ? BECAUSE THEY SIMPLY REMOVE THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS!!!
So they did with my review

There must be acceptable cheap PC Tablets, but – in my opinion – not in “Light in the Box”

I have the Viewsonic G Tablet and it has adobe flash as of this last week. It is running the Android 2.2 OS and cost right at $400. So far the apps aren’t there for the most part because it is a brand new product but they are adding and upgrading software weekly. I purchased from Sears.com.

I could be wrong, but I’m 99.999999% sure the iPad supports multitasking with iOS 4.0

I want to buy my son a tablet to be used for law school. He’s first year now. Obviously he needs multi-tasking capability and much versatility. He is a true user of technology. He needs to be able to load apps, I’m sure. He is a fan of the Google o/s – I do know that. I have an Android phone upon his recommendation and I love it. Also, he has already written a Google app, so programming must be pretty easy. This gift is a surprise, so I’d rather not ask him what he wants…please give me objectivity based on what I’ve told you so far. I’ve read all the other comments – nuff said.

I am a tech junkie. Information systems students, systems admin, developer and lover of all tech.

Hardware = Hands down iPad

GUI = iPad

Software = Anything that can run any OS or dual boot. Only having iPad OS or Android is a disadvantage. And with a few running ARM the architecture will have limited support

Media = iPad

Technical Use = Anything running Android or OS

Enjoyability = I used an Archos and iPad, iPad hands down, much better experience.

Overall for normal user = iPad hands down

Summary:

Becausee I am no Mac nor Android nor Windows fan, I judge without a bias. From a simple standpoint, if you want to listen to music, view the web, enjoy applications, and watch movies, the iPad is going to do you the best job hands down. If you want a tablet for hacking, cracking, programming, mods you might want something running an OS other than what the iPad does (why would you use a tablet for this purpose other than that). Overall I would say iPad wins the war, but loses a battle with no build in camera. Its your personal choice really. They are all great for diff reasons.

Hey thanks! This helped me a lot. As a pro photographer, I want a pad that can show off my photos, but I prefer Android to Apple. Now I can see that the Adam might be just the right choice for me.
