Ok, so this will make all android users feel good.

I have owned my GT for about a month now and since I have worked out most of the kinks I can't stop talking about my tab. So the other day I'm at my girl's house and she has just bought a shiny ipad 2 from best buy because her friends said the ipad was sooo cool. So naturally I do the good boyfriend thing and help her set it up which was no problem. Now here is where the fun comes in. She looks at my tab and sees I have the cup of water live wallpaper and asus weather widget, she says "babe, I want that". I say sorry babe apple doesn't support live wallpapers and or widgets.

She says I'm sure the app store has something, and sadly it did not. So next she sees the vast variety of screen widgets I have set up on the tab, once again she says "can the ipad do that"? I reply, no babe again apple doesn't support widgets. She is fuming but deep down I am greatly enjoying this (I know, its wrong, lol). So next we pull up a few web pages to see which browser loaded faster, the tab did and when we were on her favorite cooking site she could not watch the how to video on making a certain dish because as we all know her shiny ipad DOESN'T SUPPORT FLASH!! :p

So we download a few apps for her Facebook, some games and a couple of wallpapers and I can tell she is not impressed. She bragged that her ipad had way more apps then my tab did but that is where it stopped. After a week of the ipad, I could tell she was growing bored, so she has returned the ipad and is now a proud member of the android family with a GT 16 gig white wifi model and she couldn't be happier. I will say it was waaaaaaaay easier setting up her tab to her computer than it was for me to my mac but since she is a tab owner I see a greater use for her now :D But she got the last laugh because that night I slept on the couch :D Android Baby!!

I love this story. And actually, this story would be really helpful for anyone trying to decide between Android based tablet and an iPad. I'm going to send the link to this post to a friend of mine who's wife if debating Tab Vs iPad.

Well played. Thanks for sharing.

You sir should make a commercial from your experiences. Great story thanks for sharing!

I wouldn't even let my wife look at anything but Android when she asked for a tablet. You are a better man than I...
 
Cool. I'm asking for tomorrow from my grandpa.

On the Flip side I was comparing my friends tab and ipad about using it photography work. Not only android didn't have any photoshop extensions, but no Flickr or Smugmug apps. I also didn't have any editing software or vimeo app to upload things when im on the go or light work before i get to my laptop.


still going with the tab
 
yayyy, she felt the same way i did when i had my ipad2 for a day. to bad she lasted a week, i returned mine the next day as soon as bestbuy opened.
 
My best friend was thinking of waiting for the next ipad but once he saw my tab love how easy it is to use his already a android member. So now he saving the money to get the tab later this year.
 
Thats awesome.
I had a similar experience when my brother in law got his Iphone. Although I didn't call him babe.
 
Lol. Glad you all could appreciate that. I cant wait for touchwiz. I think it will only enhance our experience. Well, at least I hope. Also, a quick shoutout for all those who helped me sort out the kinks with my tab. You know who you are :-)
