Never played with a Nexus 10, but I'd choose an iPad 4 over it. The main point in me having a 10" tablet is battery life and the iPad is the best in this category. With the screen set anywhere below half brightness, I never get less than 10 hours of use out of my iPad 3. It's also nice having a tablet with a different OS than my phone.

I still like Android better overall, but the iPad is still my preferred 10" tablet. The Nexus 4 and 7 are my preferred phone and 7" tablet.

I couldn't see Devlyn's screenshot but the PDF looks good to me. Even small type footnotes are very readable in portrait mode. Plus you can zoom just a little to use the margins.

How do I take a screenshot?

I can't seem to upload a pic to the forums on the tablet using chrome...

For a screen shot it is the power button and volume down.

Third try at posting-it worked finally! Well, kinda. Totally illegible while the real thing is crystal clear. Sorry, I tried!
Oh, and thanks Devlyn16. I thought that was it but it was being finicky.

Obviously zooming would allow you to bring the text to the edge of the screen or push it back to amke it smaller. it really depends on HOW MUCH content needs tobe visable at the same time.

I want a combination.

I prefer Android over iOS.

However I prefer 4x3 aspect ratio on tablets that large. I returned my nexus 10, not because it was too big... but because it was the wrong shape and not comfortable to hold.

So until a high-res, 4x3 android tablet hits the market, I'll continue slumming it with my note 8.

I work in the oil sands in N Alberta. Working on a SAGD site (that stands for Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage. i.e.: no strip mining...its more like conventional drilling. We inject steam in and out comes diluted bitumen. (K, now you are an expert.! lol). Working up there as an Inspector, using a tablet is so much easier than carrying a laptop with you in your truck or wherever.

I just received an iPad 32gB with the retina display (yesterday). I previously had a 32 gB LTE BBry Playbook which unfortunately I mighta killed while attempting a digitizer screen changeout ergo the iPad. I messed with it for about 4 hours straight...I will say I was not all that impressed with the Apple offering.

Here is what I find lacking on the iPad.

1; you simply cannot create folders - major PITA (unless you have an app for that particular file)..but nothing like the droid OS.
2: (and I knew this), no memory upgrade via SDHC cards. (the PB was the same way btw.)..don't like being held as a financial hostage
3. you bloody well have to use iTunes for everything...and somehow I just don't like that.

Overall I found the iPad to be restrictive...you get the feeling that Jobs is just behind you watching your every move and dictating what you can and cant do.
So now its up for sale...and I'm doing a bunch of research on what would properly fit my needs.

What I need is 1 & 2 and an app that will allow me to annotate Isometric/PID engineered drawings (BlueBeam Revu or Adobe of some sort). Anyone knowing of an android app that would do this.?? I would greatly appreciate that. Then its just a matter of picking which Jelly B tablet to use.

Cheers,

Take a look at the Sony Xperia Tablet Z. I love mine and can highly recommend it.

The Order Odonata. There can be only one.

As much as I love my N10, as soon as I saw 'annotate' I suspected a galaxy note 10.1 might be the best for you. The pen it has cannot be matched.

Android makes it pretty easy to make folders.

Though it won't be out for another week or so.

You do know jobs died in 2012 right?

Anyway, the nexus isn't upgrade able either, storage-wise. I've used both and as far as how apple is on restricting its device, useage, etc. that's how android is with its apps. There just aren't any

Podcasts are a major factor in my decision between the iPad 5 and whatever succeeds the Nexus 10. Does Google have an iTunes-like platform that makes it easy for 1) people and companies to publish podcasts and 20 people to discover and subscribe to them? I use my Nexus 4 for browsing, email, text and apps but not for podcasts, whereas I frequently use my iPad 1 for podcasts, so I have zero experience with podcasts in the Android world. Any suggestions are appreciated.
