I use both, and I can confirm, android is still lagging years behind ios.
However, if budget is an issue, Fire rocks.
Side note: the windows 8 pad looks tempting, I will buy it.

People should remember that tablets are not yet a computing device, they are almost a read-only net-enabled device with a small footprint.
The iPad meets my needs in both form and function. No other tablet has yet to offer the same blend of performance and aesthetics. The new Samsung device shows promise though and I'm also liking the Metro user-interface from Microsoft - that can be a potential game changer just as Apples touch UI changed the entire smart-phone and tablet ecosystem.
The Kindle fire is good but it seems to me an enhanced e-Reader with a browser and some apps. We have the previous Kindle at home, but I personally prefer the reading on the iPad (it is better for my aging eyes) and the interactive content is the next evolution for books. For those who can, I recommend going to the iPad version of Wired and National Geographic magazines (phenomenal!).
