I have both.... both are good... but if want to choose oen, I will take the Ipad.... for me at least, still find that Ipad UI is more smooth... the Tab 2 is a bit laggy.... of course the advantge of Tab is can make phone call, can put external SD card....

if you on Singtel plan, you can always top-up monthly $10 to opt for Dual SIM.

 

Currently, I am using Dual SIM. One for iPhone, one for iPad. Same plan.

 

Lastly, I am apple user, I will suggest iPad.

 

Recommendation: try to use the same band for both smart phone and tablet. Data transfer is easier.

Got shops selling already. The 8GB nearly $400. Or you can get from the US at US$199 + shipping. Cheaper.

$400?! Must well spend a bit more and get the Tab2 7.0 with 3G and expandable memory.

Well, heard the Nexus 7 is really good. Maybe when it's launched in SG, will see if it's worth getting. Probably going to cost abt $300+. Still considered pretty cheap.

Problem is the 16GB version is already pretty hard to get, let alone the 8GB version via official channels as of now.

I mean to choose one... type too fast...

 

Got it from apple store, can check the price there .... Errrr never try charging via USB, so cannot advise..

Sold my galaxy tab and bought a iPad instead. Tab is laggy at least to me, not as smooth as iPad. No doubt it can do lots of things as explained from an android user, but if u r just using it to surf net, watch YouTube/drama, playing games, get an iPad.

Google will probably up the production to meet demand. Wonder when it'll be launch here or at all?

That's true. iPad has a better UI and smoother operation. In fact, iPad 2 would suffice for most user since the processor is the same as the new iPad unless you want the super clear retina display.

Even with its size, I still prefer iPad.

I own both Galaxy Tab 10.1 (P7500) and iPad 2. Just like what others said, iPad has a much smoother operation and seldom lags. Not that I am an Apple fanboi like most people in Singapore, iPad really outperforms Galaxy Tab in almost every aspect (except not having the full control of your device).

 

Now that iOS 5.1.1 can be jailbroken, I don't see any reasons why you should go for Galaxy tab.
