New Sony Xperia Tablet Z versus iPad 4

[CobRoush-00]

I am in the market for a new tablet. I went to both the Apple and Sony stores and I was impressed with the new Xperia Tablet Z from Sony. Has anyone seen or used one? Your thoughts on it versus the iPad. I truly love the fact that it's waterproof and scratch resistant, and the pictures are amazing. Check it out and let me know what you think.

looks great but I just can't get used to the android or windows 8 UI. i always seem to grab my iPad, and i have splashtop to connect to my networked computer (with wake on lan) to do anything on my iPad that ios can't do. also the built in lte card makes it much more practical.

just my $0.02

honestly comes down to Android vs iOS...you are going to get your nutswingers for both platforms.

Play with both extensively and go with what you like. I started out with iPhones, moved to Android, but still own an iPad. I wish I had an Android tablet right now, to say the least.

If you like simple & dependable then go with iOS.

If you want beautiful, more control, customizable and expandability go with Android.

They both work very well out of the box now however, Android seems to be much more advance with their updates.

Probably going to have to wait a few days for reviews to roll in since the tablet isn't due for release until the 25th.

Thanks for your input. I am going to wait a couple of weeks before purchasing.

I love that you can use it as a universal, programmable remote. One of the features of the Galaxy S4 that intrigued me.

Only down side is that when used as a universal remote the battery drains rather quickly. But it is a nice feature.

I have to agree with what Buddy17's advice about trying both out. I wouldn't just go by reviews. You have to experience the features, ease of use, intuitively of the OS, screen image/text quality, etc., and then decide which tablet works the best for you. No tablet is perfect, but you surely want to get the one that does the most for you.
