For personal entertainment purposes, the cheaper the better as long as the screen is hi-rez. Also pay attention to the battery life of any tablet---Windows tablets will go though a charge very quickly when using full-blown Microsoft applications.legion wrote:Thinking of getting a tablet PC, mostly to read PDFs, listen to music, watch movies.
So what are the pros and cons of the Android System vs Windows?

Windows tablets are great if you want a Laptop replacing tablet...which is what I want, wait for the next Microsoft Surface model to be released. (unless something better comes out)

I have been very impressed when I used a Windows tablet while on a Toshiba job---I was able to accomplish proper Word editing, Excel and Photoshopping quite well in the touch interface.

Listening to music while doing something else like surfing the net is impossible, for example.
What was wrong with a laptop again?

You mean it's too slow?
Is it an old iPad? The newer ones are considerably faster.
But yes, a laptop is much better for typing. On the road I use my MacBook Air for that. The iPad is smaller, lighter, and more convenient for casual use though.
Russell wrote:Nope it's new. I bought it in February. It is ridiculous that you cannot run background processes on it. So, you want to listen to music, you have to watch the interface of the music player, and you cannot do anything else. Back to the '90s of a Mac I say.
I guess, I am just not a TouchPad guy...

Android is the defacto tablet OS in Renault cars selected because it was cheaper. And universally hated by users.
As for Microsoft... They lost that war... Several times already, that's why BMW ditched them.IparryU wrote:Siri si still... shit from what i have experienced with some of my friends who do major iOS and Android dev. How you supposed to navi a car with a shitty voice rec system?
1- I never used voice recognition system in cars as the OEM ones are ridiculously bad
1b- and have yet to know someone using it
2- Siri actually -do- work when you try to use it instead of trying to make it fail.
3- Beside, you need more a navy that talk to you rather than listen to you...IparryU wrote:Apple is just... not as innovative as they were when they were competing against nobodies.
Who the fuck cares, they make shit that mostly works as they mostly always tried to do, rest is religious bullshit from the Church of the Butthurt.

It was a much petter (sic) performance for Apple than a year ago, when the company accounted for just 9.9 percent of U.S. PC shipments. Apple's holiday 2012 quarter was marred by serious delays for its revamped iMac desktop, with most orders not shipping until early 2013.
