Well, to be honest, the ipad sorta just fell into my lap because a friend was selling it for a hundred bucks and we couldn't pass it up ;). The hubby had it for awhile, wanted an Android tablet, so the ipad came to me. It wasn't anything I was thinking about getting or owning. I can honestly say tho that since I've gotten it, I've rarely put it down - it's a third monitor, a book, a newsreader, a portable movie player, an alarm clock, a game console - I can go on and on...lol. I'm not an Apple fanboi by any stretch of the imagination but I've gotta say - as a person who's also used an Android tablet - the ipad is just nicer. It crashes less, everything just looks beautiful on it. I have no problems streaming video like I do on the Android tablet and where things on the Android tablet look ok, they look awesome on the ipad. I'm an overnight fan of the thing....lol.
