If you really believe that, then buy Motorola stock, oops, down 10% after iPad2 announcement. No one can beat the iPad 2's hardware and price, and NO ONE can even attempt to catch up to the App store. The App store defines WHAT you can do on an iPad. Never forget the ecosystem! BTW, 16:9 is great for movies, but for everything else, it makes no sense. Do yourself a favor next weekend, go to Best Buy and hold both in your hands, then write back and let me know what you think

Sure it will change silly. App store will increase to 70,000+ iPad specific apps, and Android will increase to 250+ . Your stats on market share are pre Verizon BTW

Exactly!
Let's look at the "sell through" numbers once released in a few months. iPad is expected to sell 40 million units this year. Moto sell in was only 200k units, but sell through was a hell of a lot lower.

Google Removes Malicious Android Apps -- InformationWeek

"Unlike the way Apple reviews iOS apps, Google relies on Android users to flag apps they believe violate rules. Applications that have been flagged a certain number of times are then reviewed by Google staff and removed if necessary."

Exactly, use at your own

looking at the stock is dumb argument... I own both and both have their strong points and I use it for different reasons. BTW, support? I have had my ipad 3g replaced twice already.
