So I decided to carry on doing some digging (and in response to John), and I stumbled upon this article iPad 2 vs. Android: And the winner is... - Computerworld Blogs: and it got me really thinking. Although the Ipad is an incredibly simple piece of machinery, the only serious issue i have (i mean really serious), is the user's inability to configure it whatsoever outside the constraints of its proprietary software iTunes.
That really ticks me off especially because i own a XPERIA Neo and the best thing about this device is its inherent ability to be modified to any user-defined configuration (albeit the lack of RAM). Now having the foreknowledge that I can't do the same with the Apple tablet (which I would think is the platform to offer such services) makes me cringe in the knowledge that I'm playing an open-handed "GO TO JAIL" card willingly...
So my verdict (based on these new findings): The ipad 2 ( or 3) is great piece of machine constrained by manufacturer ego to have its customer being "dictated" which software to use. In the age of open source software, that's a cardinal sin. So its the Android tablet (honeycomb and above) winning hands down.
