Almost all *useful and good* ipad apps are paid or "not free". I don't understand why no one takes this into account before deciding to buy an ipad.

Yep, Nexus 10 :D

Anyways, why do you want a tablet? what are you gonna use it for?

It depends on which ecosystem you prefer. want more customization go for Android, if you want great apps go for iPad.

oh i didnt see that coming, Exynos 5 beats the krap out of all other Socs including newest Apple A6 in browser benchmarks, i guess performance boost is likely to be double the Exynos 4412 quad. Mali T-604 Vs SGX 543MP4 should be the Real Clash of Titans.

but i think apps are the main reason iPad is selling so much. Android Tablets Apps are heavily criticized for being resized phone apps & functionality issues. I hope google is focusing on this, encourage development besides bringing out nexus 10.

It got more than Iphone 5 too :).
Apple will surely come out with ipad 5 this feb/march, They'll have too much heat with this tablet.
And then again they'll suffer when nexus 7 (2) comes

Jealousy and Jealousy!They all hate each other very badly!That's why apple released a new ipad just after 6 months release of a new ipad!And ya they're gonna suffer again when nexus(2) will release.But what about spen?It makes the tablet even more creative and what about multiscreen functionality?I guess it's missing on both ipad and nexus 10.

I would highly suggest the new 4th Generation iPad... it is unbeatable...

Or maybe wait a few months for the Nexus 10 tablet...

Completely avoid the Note tablet... or any of the older Samsung tablets... there are all garbage compared to the iPad...

Forget the'I' go for Nexus 10
.....according to the Brief Mobile report the Nexus 10 is expected to be a powerhouse. They are reporting an incredible 10.1-inch Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 2560×1600 pixels converting to 298.9 pixels per inch, a 1.7GHz dual-core Samsung Exynos 5250 processor built on the ARM Cortex A15 design, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of storage, NFC, dual-side speakers like the Galaxy Note 10.1 and a 5-megapixel rear camera along side a front facing camera. The device is apparently running Android 4.2, but there is no word on the Key Lime Pie nomenclature....

If just specs and benchmarks matters to you and crappy up scaled phone apps is okay then wait for nexus 10 ! Btw between n800 and I pad you can choose the ipad blindfold!

That doesn't matter y compare tablets to phones? Apple has already claimed that a6x in ipad4 has 2x the cpu /gpu performance of already impressive a5x! Moreover I think the 3rd gen ipads have been discontinued!

Thanks for the reply guys.I have finally decided to go with Nexus 10.But i am also considering upgrading my htc chacha,may be i could sell it!The screen is very small for gaming and the camera is not that great at all.So i am considering these two options:
1.Keep htc chacha and continue using it as phone and buy ipod touch for entertainment.
2.Sell Htc chacha and buy Nexus 4.
Above both options,which option should i go for?

Since you are going to buy nexus10, I'd suggest you keep your chacha and buy a 5th gen iPod so that you'll be able to enjoy best of both worlds - IOS and Android!

That was what i was thinking,but since i will have to use it for 3-4 years,are both of my choices somewhat future proof?the resolution of ipod touch 5g is not hd,it is just 1136 x 640.However, HD screen is 1280×720 resolution.Is My decision of picking up nexus 10 over ipad with retina display(4th gen) is right?

I wouldn't say that 5th gen ipods with a5 chipsets are future proof but yes the nexus 10 is future proof not only because of its beastly specs but simply because its a 'nexus' so Google won't give up on it anytime soon!
And between nexus 10 and ipad4 - you can't be wrong if you go for either one of these.
Last piece of boring advice from me- don't go by popular opinion rather have a real time hands on with devices you intend to buy and bring home the one you like most- at least you will have peace of mind this way!

One more thing resolution doesn't matter! IPod has a smaller screen so higher ppi! Just check the screens ppi(pixel density) . Nexus 10 has 298ppi and iPod around 320 ppi so both are good on paper!

.I would rather take it as a nice suggestion not as a boring advice!So,after finalizing Nexus 10,i really can't decide whether i should go for ipod touch or not since it has the same old A5 Processor and only 512MB RAM.Btw does Nexus 10 supports Usb on the go?
