A friend has a Samsung and only uses it to read. She hates that she
cannot delete apps or even re-arrange them to suit her needs. Now
she has an iPad for everything else.

That surprises me. It's normally Apple that locks users into what
they sell and how they sell it, and it's usually the more open
stuff that gives the user more freedoms.


And, it's not true anyway. I've got a new Samsung SIII and I can
delete, rearrange or modify most apps as I see fit. If I need to do
more than that, then rooting is pretty easy these days.



It may be that the iPad is simply more intuitive to her than the
Samsung.


Could be. But the question is - how so? So far everything that has been
said about the iPad is exactly the same (or lesser in capability) as the
tablet. The point is - and is this so damned hard to understand???? - what
exactly is that difference?
