The Dogmother Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Well, there's been a debate raging at work; one of the chaps wants a tab pooter... we have one ipad lover here and a Galaxy tab aficionado too. This chap currently has an android phone and an ipod, so the field is pretty open and he loves both. I know that we're going to get some polarised opinions, but where better to come for reviews? What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lillybettybabs Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 OH has a Blackberry playbook which he loves- He is a complete techy and will tell you all about a certain brand that is very good at pulling the wool over consumers eyes and over charging.

The Dogmother Posted March 8, 2012 Author Share Posted March 8, 2012 This chap doesn't have a Blackberry phone, but perhaps you can PM me the info and I can pass it on..... I think I might know who it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoid Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 You need a blackberry for the playbook to connect to the internet. I would go with the Galaxy Tab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted March 8, 2012 Author Share Posted March 8, 2012 One question that came up Fred - he has an ipod and wonders if it's possible to get itunes to play the music on a Galaxy Tab. I suggested that you might be able to connect it somehow and play through the Tab, but what do I know...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoid Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 You can install your music on the tablet, but it is a bit long winded. See this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowberry Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I love my Motorola; the drawbacks are that it is a tad heavier & the big drawerback is that the sound quality is AWFUL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckmum6 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 The iPad is the best by miles, we have iPad 1,2 and a blackberry Playbook in our household. The iPad wins hands down, they are so simple and very clever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercedes55 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Much as I love everything Apple and have a lot of their stuff I would go with the Galaxy Tab for the simple reason that unlike the iPad it supports Flash and I can't see a time when the issues between Adobe and Apple are ever sorted over this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweety Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I agree with chuckmum6 - we have the same combination here, iPads 1 and 2 and a Blackberry Playbook, and the iPad is by far the best. There is no point getting a Playbook unless you have a Blackberry phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 Thanks guys, I'll pass that on - he's been looking into synching his music Fred, although it beats me why he can't just have his ipod headphones in when fiddling on the tab He's had a look at both at work this morning as both the other tab users are in today, so I'll let you know the result of his decision... at the moment it looks like being the Galaxy Tab as he has an Android phone and is used to the way the system works.
