It makes perfect sense to look at an iPad Air 2 again if you want to repurchase your apps, be forced to use a terrible UI, and waste the money you spent on the N9 to spite Google.
Introducing Lollipop, our sweetest release yet
Nexus devices get the latest Android OS updates first, so you have a superior software experience.
This is one of the reasons I bought a Nexus. Im going to wait until the first GPE's get the 5.1, if they get it first. I will leave it.
#1 Already have my apps purchased on both ecosystems (I still have my note 3 regardless- waiting on the S6 or 6S to see which way I go). #2 Matter of opinion. #3 Not in my case thankfully. I'd have money in my pocket. I paid $216~ for the tablet+ chrome cast.
I am at a point where I've tried a few smartphones, different androids, and iphones. I am done chasing around "the best smartphone"I just need the phone to do what I need to do. Don't care if it's with a 16mp camera, or 4mp or a 8 core behemoth, or a 64 bit processor.
What I care about is the results, not what was used to get there. I can go Android or Iphone, makes little difference I am familiar with both OS's, albeit I would probably need to get acquainted with ios 8.
