I mean fuck the hardware is basically identical now, there is nothing special about Apples anymore aside the logo.

We have one of those CherryPads here running Android.

- when you turn it on, it's like booting up a PC -- it takes that long (and i'm not talking about turning it on for the first time either)
- it is extremely slow
- the colors are waaaaaaaaay off (at least in the browser)
- the touch screen isn't very sensitive and requires pressure... terrible for typing

That was just 5 mins worth of playing around, I had had enough

For the price, I guess it's not that bad, but it is not comparable to the ipad.

I'm not knocking Android -- mostly the hardware.

Just my experience
