DONATE TO ME
Default SONY Tablet S vs. Apple iPad 2

It's really hard to decide for me, which tablet i'm going to buy. What are your opinions?

Well if you're using it primarily for web browsing then it's the Sony all the way for me, as the apple doesn't support flash. If that's not important to you, well the apple has more apps and the iOS is nice and easy to use.

Depends entirely on what you plan to do. Both are top notch tablets, both are great for media consumption. The biggest advantage for Ipad is obviously sheer volume of apps, the biggest S Tabl advantage is the remote control and Playstation ability. Biggest negative for Ipad is no ability to expand it, limited ports etc.

I, like most/all people in the S forum will say the Sony.

The design is just brilliant. I was amazed at the volume of films available in Video Unlimited. And for £399 its pretty darn cheap.

If you own an android phone I would go for Sony.
I think it's also the design and the way you hold the tablet is just great.
They both have positive and negative points.
I only miss HDMI on this tablet. But streaming your media with DLNA works great and easy. It's awesome to really throw your video to your PC, PS3 even XBOX 360 and all other devices that work with it.

Currently Own:

IPad 2
Jetstream
HTC Flyer

Previously Owned:
Tablet S

I think that Sums it up ^^

The Ipad 2 is superior in almost every aspect. The only reason I could think of why u would grab the Tablet S over the Ipad 2 is if money is a concern or if you just plain hate Apple...

I believe that the Tablet S is an excellent tablet for those who have never owned a tablet.

Many of my friends who used it loved it (none of them have owned a tablet before).

However, when compared to the Jetstream it just lacks so much... The jetstream is smoother, faster, screen is nicer (imo). The Pen functionality is a huge bonus.

Compared to the Ipad2... Ipad2 has zero lag whereas the Tablet S has occasional lag, Tablet S has various other issues (read up on this forum) that the Ipad simply does not have. I have found absolutely nothing that the Tablet S does better then the Ipad2, whereas the Ipad2 does soooo many things better then the Tablet S.

Ofc... your in the Tablet S section so expect every1 to call me a troll, but this is my honest opinion; if you have used other tablets before, stay away from the Tablet S & go for the Ipad2.

TBH... I have currently ditched the Jetstream and the Ipad2 and instead use the Flyer simply because it is so portable!

Anyways GL with your purchase and I hope your happy with whatever you pick!

I believe the iPad has better apps, but the Sony tablet offers a better overall experience.

Sony Tablet S

Better screen resolution .

DLNA. You can throw medi from your tablet directly to your laptop, desktop or any TV with dlna without cables.

Remote control for anything in your house.

Playstation games.

Way better design

Flash!!!!!

Ability to use a sd card, hell you can even use a usb flash disk.

I can go on but i think you got the idea.
