Which should I get?

[DMR]

I am debating whether I should get the iPad 2 or the Blackberry tablet. What are the pros and cons for each?

The only thing that is preventing me from getting the iPad 2 is the $520 before tax while Blackberry 16GB is only $200. I was told that iPad 2 has more apps (which I find obvious), bigger screen and is more fluent.

From personal experience, is the Blackberry that much less fluent than the iPad 2? Is it worth paying the extra $300 for the iPad 2?

Which should I get?

Thank you for your time.

Hmm blackberry FTW !

I'm sorry but that doesn't help me much. Why would you go with Blackberry over iPad 2?

Your post is more spam than helpful.

I don't know because blackberry I like it my self I've got 1 ma self and its not like your going to carry around your iPad 2 with you every where you go.. :S also blackberry you can add contacts and etc.

Contacts for? and do you see a difference in speed? is it slow to the point it's noticeable compared to the iPad 2? Are there enough apps or barely any?

Well with the Ipad 2 you are MOSTLY paying the extra money for the name brand, there is very little difference from the Blackberry.

If you don't really care about "showing off" then get the Blackberry

Is there a big difference in speed? what are the apps like?

It's not for showing off purpose but to entertain myself as well as take it overboard as I'm going to London for a month next week.

Still need opinions!

If I was you and came to that decision, I'd go with the iPad 2, because most of my family owns such appliances like the iPhone 4(s), the iPod Touch 4th generation, and other iPads, and since we live quite a distance apart from eachother, Facetime and other apps like that do come in handy alot, and since I use my iPhone and Mac, the iPad 2 that I have is really useful with iCloud, where data is automatically stored in all my apple devices that are hooked up to it, I also personally like the web browsing and the multi-touch features with the iPad2, but in the end it all comes back to your decision

Blackberry Playbook has Flash and multi-task.
Plus smaller is better if you're gonna bring it around with you alot.

I personally say the ipad just because of the fact I have one and I love it.

Shifted to the more appropriate technology section

Thank you Alteranz.

Is there a speed difference that is noticeable? That's what I care about the most and is it worth paying $300 more for the apps? Are they that good?

No one seems to answer my speed question D:

That's hard for us to say because I doubt anyone here has used both and could tell you from first hand experience which one is better.

 

[DMR]

Alright, thank you. Is there any apps which you find really good or useful on the iPad 2?

Tough decision.

EDIT: I think I have my decision made. I will go with the BlackBerry PlayBook. I used this chart which showed not much difference between the devices.
