The display on the iPad is its real selling point though, I have the nice
Asus pad and an iPad and the Android one spends most of it's time in the
cupboard because the iPad is just so pleasant to use.


Whats so special about the display, that it's got some bull**** "Retina"
branding? It's just a IPS panel with a specific pixel density (264
Pixels/Inch to be exact) that many other tablets have already exceeded
(for example the Samsung Galaxy Note II)

The Nexus7 is only a little behind the ipad3 pixel density (at 216 PPI),
and my Xperia S smartphone (342 PPI) far exceeds it and the iPhone5's
(PPI326)

So take away the bull**** Apple branding and look at the raw pixel
densities, and yes the Apple products are OK, but there are several that
are better, and the Nexus7 costing half the price and being far more
functional is a total steal.
