Oh How They've Caught Up…
For a while Android tablets have lagged the Apple IPad in performance, apps and battery life. That story is changing by the day. There are now so many Android table compter options to choose from it's almost confusing. There are many key reasons that some people perfer the Android tablet over the iPad. Here are a few:
Forget About JailBreaking…
Unlike the other tablet, you don't need to jailbreak your Android tablet. Apple tightly controls what apps are allowed to run on the iPad. There have been many apps that are extremely useful that Apple has denied or pulled after the fact. The Android tablet allows you to run what you want, no limits. You can download apps from the Android store OR download an app from the net and load what you want. No limits, no one deciding what you should run, your way.
I've talked to so many people who have and Android phone or tablet that simply want that kind of freedom.
More Free Apps
The Android ecosystem has many more *free* apps than the iPad. I've talked to people who are quite proud that they have the apps they need and want and brag that they have never had to pay for any apps. The cost of app purchases have a way of adding up. It's so easy to click and buy. An Android OS may just save you money in the long run.
