It might have flash, but flash apps aren't designed to be used on a touch screen and because of that it's generally a horrendous experience.

I recommend against using flash on a touchscreen gizmo even if it can support it.

Why not have both worlds. see rlhererl
Seen this sucker in action, and will be getting one soon. Android is the future - backed up by open source software community. May not mean much to most people but basically means Android caught up, and arguably overtook apple in a very short space of time.

I had a tablet with android for a short time before I bit the bullet and bought an iPad , even though the android system was ok it was and is a long way from being better than the apple system.
The biggest problem I found was the lack of support for android apps, yes it is getting better but it's way off what it needs to be to compete.
Just my thoughts.

You are right there Herald and Android is catching up, rapidly. What will be interesting is when it closes the gap to where the market is nearly equal, will Apple have the next step up in the locker to race ahead again without Steve Jobbs there?

The latest Android phones are now in line with the Tablets, and use Android 4.0 (aka Ice Cream Sandwich ). Believe me its there now.

A mate has a Galaxy S3 and he rates it better than his Iphone4. Bit big for me though.

Battery on the galaxy overheats very easily and crashes alot

Correct, I wouldn't go back to a galaxy, apple all the way for me

Apple for me too, 2 of the lads at work always bang on about how good their samsungs are but always but when they open more than 1 app they crash

Young glow has just got himself an iphone4, hope it swims better than his last two Blackberries.

lI just love my I phone 4s but sari doesn't like my leyther broad accent and gets confused.

Looks like the MS Surface is going to be the biggest threat to Apple. rlhttps://gizmodo.com/surface/rl

I never could justify the cost of an iPad when I have a laptop and smartphone. But i think I may retire the laptop if the price is right...

My biggest gripes about android are:

1) So many different devices, with different sized screens means that it's difficult for developers to make their apps work great on all of them. Also, Android apps designed for tablet screens are too scarce.

2) Software updates. iPhones are guaranteed to receive useful software updates from Apple for 2-3 years, many android devices never receive updates, and many are sold with generations old versions of the software and cannot be upgraded. Around 75% of iPhone users are running the latest major software version. The number of android devices running the latest software version is in single digits.
