I got into an argument yesterday with a friend of mine over the idea that an Apple iPad owner would have no use for an Android tablet as the iPad does everything you would possibly want to do on a tablet.
As a Asus Slider owner and a iPAD 2 owner I started to list all the strengths of each devices and I came to the conclusion that if it wasn't for the built in keyboard I probably would never own a Android tablet. I could never get real coding work done on a virtual keyboard so features like being able to run a full L.A.M.P. server, running Eclipse, full featured filemanger, full Unix/Linux terminal with BASH, CSH and pearl and so on become a mute point. I would just stick with my MacBook Air for that and use my iPAD as just the media consumption device that it was designed for.
That being said I'm really happy that Asus has a line of tablets that are perfect for the coder on the run. I no longer really use my iPAD for anything other then music creation now. Which is so awesome by the way that I will defiantly buy the iPAD 3 just for that purpose.
Android on a convertable device just rocks, the OS/keyboard combo gives you all the power you need to get real coding work done and the tablet mode still gives you the enjoyment that you come to expect. Not as good as the iPAD experience of course but very useable and enjoyable never the less.
So anyway I thought it would be fun to know who owns an Android and iOS tablet and why not just one or the other.
