First off, let's get one thing straight. I am an Android fan[boi?]. I like the openness of the platform, I like customizing the hardware and software that I have paid for in full. I feel like if I purchase a product from a company, I should be able to do anything I want with it. I like the interface, look and feel of the Android UI's (all recent versions). So of course I'm going to be focusing most of my thoughts on the Honeycomb vs iPad 2 debate.
TiPb posted this nice little chart comparing the iPad 2 to the other current tablet offerings. I was impressed with the first iPad simply because it was the first major player in the tablet market. I liked the novelty of the iPad's form factor. But I still couldn't find myself to see beyond the fact that it was still constrained to the iOS platform, a closed platform.
Mmy thoughts on the iPad 2 after the break.
