Where Apple excels is a tight integration of its platform and its well-built ecosystem. If the Droid camp can master that and a strong integrated marketing, they will come out superior. On the other hand, Apple has proven that in spite of having less memory and lesser muscle, it can run apps pretty smoothly.
But somehow I don’t like this hate game. I love both the platforms – while I have a work iPhone 4, my personal device is a Droid X rooted and ROMed with MIUI.

And modern UI?  You mean like that craptastic lagfest that is Android?  There’s like a 2 second lag just to swipe between screens.  

What a stupid post.

  2048×1536?  That’s higher than my 50 inch TV screen.

The fact it depends on what you need the device for. If it meets your needs then buy it. Personally i can’t the apple os or iTunes. iTunes is like driving a Ferrari in the slow lane because the dealer put a Governor on the engine. Back in the day it was cool and innovative, now it’s just hassle. Just my two sense.

Who wants to own a new device for a any longer than 6 months? Always buy whats best, 2-3 smartphones the year, 1-2 tablets in addition. Keep 1 tablet and 2 smartphones, sell the others.

I’d hazzard a guess and say zero so a BluRay on our new pads will look equally impressive on your hdtv assuming the TV is 1080P and not 720 which would make your comment more accurate

Since the display will use more graphics power.

The 720p displays in many new android phones (galaxy nexus,nitro hd,rezound etc) have a higer dpi the iphones retina.. also asus announced there new tablet with high res display before apple… The meizu m9 had same 3.5″ 960×640 display. and there were many android phones with 960×540 (qhd), Anyways, i dont find the iphones retina that great.. superamoled plus looks better to me even at 480×800 superamoledhd 720p is amazing, and slcd2 hd720p is as well

There are so much variety in this world than one ipod, one iphone and one ipad.

Do your homework before you start talking trash about stuff. the quality of screen apple is using on the iPad is underrated compared to what you’d be getting from your HDTV which cost almost 4x’s as much

The Tegra 3 has 12 GPUs and yet everyone only mentions it’s a quad-core – not saying a thing about the 12 core GPU.

Screens on the way = vaporware.
Wrong on connectivity, wrong on stereo, unbelievably wrong on Bluetooth since this has Bluetooth 4.0.
People don’t care about expandable memory when you have three memory sizes to choose from.
Modernizing the Ui..right..the one Google copied.
Keyboard dock really has me in stitches though.  There are only about 50 you can buy from various vendors right now.
The Android kiddies are so in denial about Apple just dominating this market and the half ass amateur hour Android tablets that they don’t even know how foolish they sound.
Hell the Android companies are so desperate that they count shipped as sold when Apple only counts sold as sold.
Apple has destroyed the Android tablet market already and is cementing this destruction with the new iPads and a cheaper iPad 2.
