That said, Android is probably a lot more popular than Windows Tablets.

I dislike Apple but unless you are a tinkerer, the iPad is solid... Androids allow a lot more freedom (widgets, non Google sources, etc..) if you like to tinker and think outside the norm.
I use my Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus as a mini laptop at times. I have a real key keyboard cover and a mouse which connect with Bluetooth.

I have VPN access back to the office. I can connect to the network drives and do what I need to do. The file structure is open so I can copy and paste files where I want. The expandable storage allows swapping of memory cards or almost infinite storage.

Finally, Office to Go simply works. If there was a basic Android App for QuickBooks, I'd be able to do almost everything.

If you want to play movies, surf, play Angry Birds, listen to music and read e-mail, the iPad is fine. It is probably more idiot proof than Android.

I do need to upgrade soon to something newer. It is almost 2 years old! I did just dump my iPhone 4S for the Galaxy 4S. Even my TV has a quad core Android box hooked up.

Again, it all depend
