get the ipad,itll give you the best tablet experience with great battery life,gestures and aesthetics
android tabs dont give that premium feel on both software and hardware front plus ipads are much faster even years later

Thanks mate...u mean the iPad Air or mini?

Get ipad air 2. After yesterday if you are going to buy a ipad it better be air 2 or else you are just left out of few important ios 9 features.

nah ios 9 features arent very significant imho
plus price difference is very vast
you can even buy a base ipad 2(now discontinued) and get a great experience
cheaper the better imho(not considering storage of course),you wont miss out on much

Actually IPad 2 is slower,has a inferior screen and plus will be most likely discontinued in next iOS release
So its better to get the air/air 2 or iPad 4 cause once you get used to that screen res you'll never wanna go back to low res

I wasnt implying that op should buy an ipad 2

I was just saying,ipads last very long and you wont feel left out even with an older one
my logic being-
so if op buys an ipad air 1,he wont miss out on anything significant over the ipad air 2

also Off topic but iPad 2 will be receiving ios 9
despite its older hardware and "inferior" display,it still beats majority of tabs out there imho except the newer retina ipads ofcourse

I know that iPad 2 will get iOS 9 but it may be discontinued soon cause of its aged hardware
Also I do known that iPad last long cause of the software support ( I have a iPad 3 at my home)
I am just saying that the least you should get is the iPad 4 if not the air cause of the retina display

ipad 2 is horrible, don't buy. extremely outdated.
check out the ipad min 2 or ipad min 3 if that's coming out.
ipad air 2 is really good also.

also check out htc nexus 9 tablet, this one is really good! but only 16gb in your budget..

this thing is awesome if 16gb is fine for you.

If a person can buy why not buy what is best as per it's budget. And I would still insist on getting Air 2.

I dont think its a good idea,ipad mini is a better buy for the same price
dont be fooled by specs,ios performs much better than android
Mipad has Tegra which means overheating issues,MiUi is bloated and laggy,no dev support,no CM and android tabs arent upto the mark because most apps have issues running on tabs or simply dont show up
ipad has a much better user experience

I highly suggest a tempered glass screen protector
and for cover,something like this-
DMG Flip Cover for Apple iPad Mini - DMG : Flipkart.com

I have something similar but I cant recall the brand and my ipad minis are actually used at my office and shops so will have to check the brand later
