I've had my nexus 10 for about 3 months now, and I really love it so far. Recently, my friend who is an admitted Apple fanboy was telling me how much he loves his Ipad 4, and that the apps are so much better than on android. He showed me garage band, badlands, and infinity blade; all apps that aren't on android. This really got me thinking, are the apps really that much better on IOS? Should I have really gotten an iPad? The answer is no for me. I realized that all of the apps that I use are all optimized for tablets, and that the game, badlands is possibly coming to android anyway. I really didn't care about garage band, although a cool app, I probably wouldn't use often. I looked at both the top apps on the iPad and on the Play store, and found that they are relatively similar, with Apple only having a few exclusive tablet apps that are really nice, such as paper.
Now for performance, the Nexus 10 is often claimed to be a laggy mess by others, and while it has its moments, it is a relatively smooth experience all around. While using the iPad, I realized that no device is absolutely lag free. The iPad 3, lagged in the app store quite a lot. The lag wasn't horrible by any means, but there were just a few stutters here and there. I also saw lag in safari, while browsing android central in fact, although safari is still much smoother than chrome. Overall though the iPad isn't that much smoother than the nexus 10, and I'm hoping that the 4.3 update will make the nexus 10 faster and more stable though.
I'm relatively happy with my nexus 10 purchase, and I don't regret choosing it over the iPad, although that's just me. So I ask you readers, would you have rather gotten an iPad or surface?
