Kitguru says: A good alternative to the iPad?
Apple vs Androiod , How good is Security, and well are their music making apps?
This for me is the principle difference between these two platform. Only thing is no one speaks about the relative difference in security, nor is there any mention of music creation on these two systems. Its left to those in the know to find the answers for themselves.
Come on reviewers, ask the questions, get us the answers.
