I am a die hard android fan, and windows and Linux as far as the pc goes. Personally I can't stand apple, or anything they make. However, a reoccurring statement I've seen is that android tablets are nowhere near the ipad. Why is this? For what reason are android tablets considered under developed at the time. What makes the ipad so much of a better tablet? Spec wise they don't stand out too much, aside from the newest having a high res and a good gpu. Is it just because the Android tablets have a smaller market? Or does it have to do with the OS not working properly. I'm Just curious as to why people don't think android tablets are worthwhile
As much as i know, tegra 3>a5 processor
Personally, I would stick with Android. Sure, the display is better, but a locked OS, severely restricted download capabilities, and no ability to side load limit what you can do. Just my two cents.

Its just horses for courses, personal preference.
New android tablets are coming out like the mediapad 10 which imho are better than ipad though ipads gpu and screen are great what people forget is that apps are upscaled to the high ipad resolution so don't all look as good, the screen is in 4:3 format so videos either have to waste all the extra pixels by using them to display black bars or zoom in the video so its more blurry and stretched.
So for viewing hd video for example the new ipad is not as good.

Hello
the new iPad haves better processor for gaming, and you people say that iPad cannot be customized, if you dont know, you can always jailbreak it, it gives you customization potential that android haves. In english: iPad for gaming, and android for everything else. you can actually have flash on your ipad when youre jailbroken. but android is also cheaper. but cheap android tablet also is slow and not so good, and ipad gets more updates and faster. you choose. i would choose iPad even im a great android fan
This is my personel preferrence but I don't play on my iPad two anyway near as much as my android devices, iPad games are expensive and even though once jailbroken they can be customized, the layout of apps and things is still the same. We have launchers and Roms that are very customizable and Cpu' you can overclock.can you overclock an iPad?

I agree gpu is better and yes cheap android tablets tend to be slow but why compare ipad to cheap tablets and not ones in its price range instead?
And a jailbroken ios device can still not do all an android can do, my most obvious example being tasker like automation or live wallpapers.
But yes new ipad is very good for gaming although not all its potential can be used.

Android tablets are more fascinating and gives you more power than the ipad,which doesn‘t

While the tegra 3 is the only quad core chipset available right now, nvidia did a pretty terrible job with it. It's constantly out performed by dual core chips such as Krait and exynos in most areas. Most apps can't utilize four processors, and the ones that do are games that are actually dependent on the gpu. And in that sense, the Kal-El gpu in the terga 3 chip is a toy compared to the pvr m4 gpu in the ipad. The four cores in the pvr outperform even the full 12 in the Kal-El gpu. I'd expect more for the manufacturer of some of the best desktop graphics cards in the world. So all you're going to benefit from the tegra three chip is slightly better power savings when you're doing heavy multitasking. I'd trade off the four cores for a Krait cpu with an adreno gpu any day. At the moment the ipad 3's chipset is the best out there.
Has to be Android all the way.
Open source and pretty much does anything you want whereas i just see the Ipad as a nice looking tablet but it doesn't do much!!
Has anyone notice as well that the accessories are ridiculously over priced for all Apple products

Thats a common complaint against apple. They claim they're products are ultra compatible, yet in order to connect them to anything non apple you have to be an extensive and expensive set of cables and adapters
Bumpity bump. I'd like some more opinions :/
Well I am in the market for my first tablet at the moment.
Girlfriend is an iphone user so just know she will pick faults with anything that does not work as well as, or slightly different to ios.
I have yet to find a good alternative to airplay, I have yet to find a feature and usage complete alternative to airplay/remote combo. PS3 media server (for the PS3) and dlna with 10k+ mp3's is not in the same league.
So think I will be leaning towards the ipad, even the nerd in me does not see a great advantage for any current android tablet vs ipad..
I think Android is better!!
Is anybody love for ESPOW android tablet pc?
There is no doubt Ipad id better than android tablet,but not everyone can offord it.
Is anybody love for ESPOW android tablet pc?
I think it is a smart choice.
Although I hate to admit it, the ipad is definitely up there in terms of ease of use etc. However, I definitely couldn't handle the restrictiveness and would opt for a transformer prime.
I had an eee pad transformer tf101 for a while and like on my droid razr, really enjoyed the customization, flashing roms such as Android revolution hd which really improved the tablet in terms of reliability and smoothness. Using live wallpapers and custom launchers was also great fun. However, it experienced some rather inconvencing problems such as the touch screen intermittently dying and poor build quality, the bezel around the edge came loose from the screen and made the screen uncomfortably flexible.
Recently i bought the new ipad and the build quality is simply flawless. For word processing pages is again, flawless. The same can be said for keynote and numbers. It is also extremely smooth and the retina display is beautiful.
I love android and its flexibility for customization but in the case of eee pad transformer and even galaxy tab 10.1 which i have some experience using, vs the new ipad?
The iPad wins by a country mile.
I'll just have to get my developing fix from my droid razr

All fanboys are phyocrties one way or another. It's impossible to convince an true android fanboy to believe the ipad is better as a tablet than android.
Most of then bash based on raw power leaving out optimisation, app compatibility, android rt and user experience from a tablet pov rather than synthetic benchmark. Tablet userbility> specs that mean nothing on ios as it is more efficient, built on c+, customisation, phone app on tablet real state.
Gade to see some fanboys understanding both sides. You can tell from my username that I was once a fanboy like many on xda
Hi Guys,
I want to buy a new Tablet, which is good for gaming. First I decided to the Archos Gamepad, because it's cheap and has controllerbuttons like a psp or any pad of a console. Then, today I saw the Nexus 7, which has a better hardware and is not much more expensive. The tablet would be in use for surfing at home and for gaming at home and at travels. Personally I like the Gamepads design very much, although the nexus is pretty too. Games like Dead Trigger stutters only at the archos one, but not on the Nexus.
Now I don't know which one fits better to me, should I buy the Gamepad because of the Buttons, or the Nexus 7 because of the better Hardware?
I look forward to hear from you
pushing allowed? I'm new here..
Tegra 3 is not much HW better than RK3066 (only CPU performance is better in T3 - 4cores>2cores)
Significan difference is: 44mil polygons/s(Mali400) vs. 129mil polygons/s(T3 GPU)
I know there aren't any meaningful choices yet (unless you consider the Nvidia Shield a contender) but I'm planning on a new Tablet later this year & have read a few articles that say whilst the Snapdragon is very impressive Tegra 4 is winning in the raw performance/benchmarks stakes.
I appreciate it's generally a whole different ball game in terms of real world performance & there's also the power draw consideration, whilst I'm liking what I've heard of the Tegra 4 so far I've also heard it doesn't support OpenGL ES 3.0 could this present a problem as far as future games & emulation is concerned?
What do you guys think..?
Hey guys, I'm just browsing to all the forums asking what is the best spec'd gaming tablet that's maybe over $300-400. A tablet that can run smooth on Heroes of Order and chaos, order and chaos, asphalt 8, all those high end games. Please help me find the right one.
Nvidia Shield Tablet I play Asphalt 8 without a hint of problems, even at max processor power. If you want a larger screen, it will cost more than $400.

The Shield Tablet has the best graphics performance of any tablet you can buy right now. The Nexus 9 should be very good for gaming as well if you want something slightly larger.

Either nexus 9 or nvidia shield tablet
Both the Nexus 9 and Nvidia shield are stellar tablets. Both have the same processor and come with a practically native android experience with android 5.0. However, I would buy Nvidia shield any day over Nexus 9 because of the streaming, and recording feature built into the OS. Not only that but you can also stream and play PC games right to your tablet (if your PC has a Nvidia processor). You can play PC games on your tablet, stream them to your TV, and take them on the go (look into it its pretty damn cool). All in all Nvidia did a better job than Google in my opinion. However, Nexus 9 is still a great choice. Personally, I will probably get the ipad air 2 simply because of Vainglory lol.
What’s the best Android Tablet out there for gaming? I’m looking for a combination of:
1) Best display (Resolution, PPI, Quality)
2) Best Processor
3) Large screen size (nothing the size of an Ipad Mini)
I’ll be using the tablet exclusively for gaming. Price, Battery Life, and other features are of no concern to me.
I’ve explored options like the Galaxy Tab-S, Nvidia Shield, Nexus 9, Xperia and some others but I can’t come to a decision. Is the K1 Tegra for shield much faster than the processors in other tablets? I would have picked up the Shield I won’t use its streaming feature and I’ve read some issues with it. Also, I’m looking for something >1080P if possible.
Is there anything I should just wait for that will be releasing soon in the next few months?
What do you all think?
Thanks
The Galaxy Tab S is great for that
