[QUOTE="Banshee16, post: 5850671, member: 7883"] The TF101 and TF210 tablets last longer *when docked*. Those are the key ones I'm aware of. The Galaxy Tab 10.1 is just a tad shorter than the iPad 2. Your statement regarding advantages can be correct *from your viewpoint* and *according to your needs*. From my perspective, there are few iPad apps that I *need* that don't have a counterpart on Android....either an Android version of the exact same thing, or a competitor with similar feature set. What I miss out on are things that *to me* are fluff. Doesn't mean they're not useful for someone else....just no real benefit for me. Whereas those hardware features that you list as of trivial importance have actually been very important for how I use my tablet. It's the view that *Apple's figured out the best way to do things, and if you need something else, you're not realizing the power of your device, or you're using it wrong* that I find annoying. And I get this all the time from Apple fans. I get it when I express frustration at things going wrong with my iPhone, and I get told "well you're using it wrong". Well, "I push this button here, and look, it crashes", or "hey how come I can't search for an e-mail and find it by typing in keywords related to the content of that e-mail"? "Oh, well, you don't really need to do that" or "I never search for emails, so I can't tell you". They're definitely intriguing devices, but they're not perfect, and there are many users who need different features. How about a notification LED to let me know I've got e-mail from a client that needs to be addressed? Banshee [/QUOTE]
