Nope. But I did program it to control my TV and cable box

Deep gray. I thought white was a little feminine. Might as well be pink, not that there's anything wrong with that...

I have this exact same question. One of these tablets is my Christmas present from my parents. I am leaning towards iPad after reading and watching numerous reviews.

I am really indecisive about which one to buy. I played with both at Best Buy, both were fun. I have a macbook that I have had since 2005 or 2006. LOVE it. I also work on a PC too. It gets really annoying more often then not.

iPad had better reviews when it came to screen quality (the newest one) and better apps according to reviews. The Galaxy has a stylus which can be a selling point, but you can buy one for the iPad too. I don't know how much I would use one really.

Anytime I have asked which tablet to get it's been a 50/50 split on which to get. Even got that when I asked different Best Buy employees.

I also lean towards the iPad because my Apple products have outlasted any PC we have ever owned. I still use a very old iPod. Runs as good as the day I got it for Christmas back in 2005. It's a little bulky compared to the news ones, but still functional and has a lot of space on it.

Whichever model I choose my dad says he is already getting me the 32GB. And whichever model I choose will determine my next phone choice too. Currently have a Droid Incredible 2 and I could take it or leave it. Have never loved it.

Though at this point I am still torn on which one to get. Obviously, I am not getting it by Christmas since I haven't decided yet.

What made you go with the Galaxy over the iPad?

well, I do in fact have an ipad 2. It's fine but I feel confined. I don't need training wheels and after using my android phone I like the possibilities. Just like both the process of personalizing my user experience abt as much as the result itself.

Important to bear in mind that there is no perfect product. And what's highly valuable to me may not be for you. IPad certainly has edge in display. A 10 vs 9.2 let's say. Not determinative to me.

Does yours lock up? Mine has 3 or 4 times since the upgrade. Also, it quit connecting to the internet for a day. It would connect to my router but nothing else.

I can tell you its been a breeze to get an iPhone/iPad shoutcast player. Android can vary from whoever is making the device. One player can work non the nexus, but not an s3. Sucks when tryingvto develop a single solution.

I want a tablet that will play all the youtube videos. I hate using youtube on the iphone or ipad because there are many videos that are unable to view.

"What made you go with the Galaxy over the iPad?"

1. The OS, Android.
2. features.
3. Can expand memory.
4. it's not an ipad.

I got the iPad 4, 64 GB for Christmas. It takes some getting used to, but loving it so far. Now, just patiently waiting for the screen protector and cover to get shipped.

Didn't like that I had to change some settings to get iTunes to work. WTH Apple? You would think they would get all those kinks worked out before launching an update. I found instructions on how to get it working and have successfully transferred my music over.

I'm looking forward to seeing what this machine can do.

Merry Christmas everyone!

My only suggestion is if you are undecided, go with the one that uses the same OS with your phone. It will make it easier for you.

Just bought my third iPad (this one a Mini) last month. I love them. I've dabbled with Android but have never been happy with the spit and shine of Andoid vs IOS.
