If you're watching media, it might help to know the source. If you've got content from iTunes, you're stuck with an iPad. If you've got Amazon, you can use the Fire tablets or watch on an iPad via their app. If you're using Hulu, Netflix or others, they tend to have apps for Android and iOS.

You mention adding storage. Apple really doesn't support that, so solutions for more space on an iPad are clunky (wireless storage, aftermarket plug-ins, neither of which will work with all apps). The new Fire has a slot that'll take 128GB, I dunno about the other Android products.

Then there is Microsoft's diabolical scheme, the Surface. It puts Windows on a tablet and emulates a touch interface so you get the productivity of a real laptop with the features of a tablet. Most laptop makes have something similar.

I've got a bit of each: Amazon Fire tablet, iPad, and a Thinkpad 10 tablet. i prefer the iOS interface of the three, but the Fire sees the most use for content streaming.
