The iPad2 – or rethinking my android tablet purchase
So here’s the deal: I had planned to purchase a honeycomb-based tablet as my sabbatical leave of absence going away present to myself. I was carefully considering all the pros and cons of both the Motorola Xoom and the new 10″ Samsung Galaxy Tab.
Between the two of them discovered the latter has a better general body finish, as well as slightly better front camera. Besides, Samsung has had the first tab out there for some time now, which means they have some more experience in regards to what works and what doesn’t, as building tablets goes.
The problem is that I just tried an ipad2 for the first time. And, besides feeling super snappy and slick, it’s so shinny 
. I might have fallen for this thing already.
The price is more appealing as well: 549 euro for the 32GB wifi version. I can’t imagine either the galaxy or the xoom matching this anytime soon. Not before the ipad3 comes out anyway 
UPDATE: Alright, i sold my soul to the devil: Ordered an iPad2, arriving at the end of the month

Cool
I was considering the samsung galaxy, now I must say I really don't know hehe
Yeah, i think one of the main reasons i'm going for the ipad is this: http://projectswithlove.com/streamtome/
Works really well between my living room's mac mini (where i have the movies stored) and any mac in my house. Can't wait to stream movies to the ipad in bed
Do you really prefer wifi version or are you going for the 3G one?
Wifi only. Not feeling like paying for yet another data connection. Besides, i can always tether it to my phone's 3G connection wirelessly
