Not likely they will make your decision easier.

Personally I'm a fan of the iPad.

I'm a geek. I like to f around with stuff so from that viewpoint Android tablets are more customizable.

But I don't believe that's the real point of a tablet. Ease of use and functionality are their strong points. Having to swap ROMs and apply other homegrown fixes seems counter point.

Size on tablets is a big issue. I have large hands and still find the larger tablets annoying to use. 7 inch tablets are easy to handle but the screens are just large enough. 9-10 inches seems ideal to me.

If you go Android make sure it's Android 4.0
Let me add a couple of things

Android 4.0 isn't out yet on the Tablets, that I'm aware.

Here is a link to reviews of most of the Android Tablets
