My wife has and iPad 5 and I currently have an Asus Infinity Pad TF700. I had another Android tablet in the past, an HP Touchpad (was using Android 4.1 before I handed it down).
When the Infinity Pad came out, it was supposedly the best Android tablet out there and was for quite a while. So I bought into the hype and bought one. I would later regret it. It had a pretty good high resolution screen 1920x1200 but that is about all. Battery life is 4 hours, the device is slow slow slow (and unusable when downloads are in progress thanks to Asus .2MB write speeds to the NAND). Reboots randomly a few times a week, internal microphone sucks so Google voice search is useless because it can hardly understand anything. WIFI reception is very poor.
The default ROM performed terrible so I though CM10 couldn't hurt. Runs just about the same.
The Touchpad was actually a very good Android tablet for its time. They never got the internal clock to work (so no alarms could be set) and they finally got the mediocre camera to work after years but all in all, it was much better hardware than this Asus POS (which is highly regarded somehow).
I've had two Android phones and they were decent (although proir to ICS, Android built in software was crap). But now I have an iPhone 5 and wow, no jumping through hoops to get it to work well. I am seeing this same trend with the two tablets I have had. The iPad is so much better. Software works really well out of the box and the hardware is so so much better.
A lot of iOS and Android fanboys are usually ones who have never tried the alternative and should not be listened to (especially if they think the TF700 is worth more than $100 let alone $450). I want to know, am I the only one who has been burned by Android devices more than once and decides to give the Apple alternative a chance?
Which one were you happier with?
