Although this new iPAD is currently the best tablet, I'm sticking with Android!
Yes, this is going to be my first iPad
Yes, I'm going to upgrade from an iPad 2
Yes, I'm going to upgrade from an iPad 1
No, are you kidding? Android is where it's at
No, I'm a PC and I'll wait for Windows 8
No, tablets should only be prescribed by doctors
No, I already own an iPad and feel no need to upgrade

It doesn't offer enough over the ipad1 for me to offer to upgrade Mrs H's. Nor does it offer anything over my netbook, so I won't be buying one. I am quite tempted by the samsung thing with a stylus, that is also a phone. If they offer a dual-sim thing I would be sold.
No way ! Die Apple...
May look in to a Android Tab one day but my smartphone does a great job on the sofa !
Well known != good...
True, but with technology unheard of brands do often = rubbish, the post talking about the quality of that other product could equally have been comparing it to motorola or other mainstream brand device. I don't think i'd want to buy a device like a tablet if it was made by a company that didn't even have a public website
The way I see it with tablets is it would be convenient to have one for the lounge for web browsing, but i'd choose an Android one over an iPad for that as it's cheaper and does the job. But if my mum wanted one i'd tell her to get an iPad as I know she'd be able to use it, just like she can use her iPhone (she'd find Android on either too faffy - but to be fair to her she is an OAP). Where the iPad would win for me is in more specialised applications like i've mentioned before where it has the upper hand over Android.

Can't see anything great or even good, or ok about it. So no.
Two questions, first off how d'ya figure that the "iPad3" is "the best tablet" - I'm not disagreeing necessarily, merely interested in your reasoning.
Secondly, if the iPad3 is "the best tablet" (and personally I'm not so sure) then why shackle yourself with something "inferior"?
I do laugh at Apple with their post PC world comments, yet you can't even start up a new iPhone or iPad without having it connected to a PC (includes Mac) with iTunes installed on it, how archaic, big brother and backwards is that.
Yes. This will be my first.
I'm getting it to entertain my child on holiday and have high hopes. He already enjoys apps I have for him on the iPhone. The iPad should be a nice step up and the decent sized screen will be ideal for letting him watch films on there.
I guess I could have bought an Android tablet but none of them seem as polished and I'm not entirely confortable with the security of Android apps. Perhaps I'm being paranoid but I prefer the idea of Apple-vetted apps on iTunes.

No, tablets right now don't seem to do anything better than a decent smartphone. I may consider a tablet purchase when Windows8 arrives. However this will be dictated by the Windows8 ARM software support, if most of the major applications I use don't show interest in supporting it then I will see no point in that either.
