Torn between Nexus 10 and a new iPad

[tm]

The only* drawback of an android tab over an iPad is that there's fewer tablet applications for android. However, with the number of android tab devices coming out right now and in the very near future, applications are coming onto the market faster than ever. A Nexus10 would be a great choice and you'll only get more and more out of the device over the next few years. I know you said that you don't care about the price difference but it's £319 vs £479.. £160 could get you a lot of potatoes.

I'd personally go for the Nexus 10. For the price it is great value and despite what you say about not caring about the cost you can still put the extra money to good use. I do agree to some extent that there could be more tablet targeted apps for Android but I understand that Google is pushing android developers to support tablets better. Plus with the extra sales from the low cost nexus line of tablets I don't think app developers can afford to ignore the android tablet scene any longer.

In regards to what has been mentioned about android updates you do have to remember that we are talking about the Nexus line of products from Google which historically have a fairly good track record in terms of being kept up to date with the latest Android version; I'd also argue by the time updates become a issue you'd likely be looking at buying a new tablet anyway.

I rad earlier that Android and Apple now have the same amount of apps in their stores. I know the number compatible with android tablets is smaller but they'll soon catch up.
I would go with the Nexus 10. If they bring out a mobile data 32gb version then I'll definitely be buying that but at the moment my nexus 7 is fine :]

I went for the iPad, after reading the Nexus 10 reviews. I've always fancied one, and I know that if I am patient the Nexus 10 will just be as good, but I got a damn good deal on a 64GB white iPad 4 so went for that.
