Agreed.
The only difference between the iPad and the Prime (for me) is app selection. Without well developed apps specifically for the Prime, it loses in that catagory.
I like Android and WP more than iOS, but the apps and GOOD developers need to come to Android and WP.
I read all the time that android almost has the same number of apps as ios, but that isn't taking in the fact that many android apps aren't as high quality as iOS ones may be, because all are accepted.

A little off topic, but for cameras, the front is more important than the back (BB Playbook). And this shouldn't be a deciding factor *at all* between any of these tablets. All feature nice cameras.

I think the Playbook has awesome cameras given that its a tablet and they usually arent good. I dont think that its as good as this new Ipad, but it certainly smoked the previous Ipad. I thought the front camera was better than the back on it personally, it just seems to have less noise on it, at least for video.

MP don't mean everything when the iPad has better optics then the prime. And even without flash it still performed well in low light conditions. MP just refers to the size of the image.

i said the iPad is the photog's option, while I chose the prime for it's camera captures more detail. i'm not starting a flame war here.

the iPad does have better optics, i'm saying I just don't need it, and my prime comes in second place anyway, so that's not a deal breaker for me. still not getting the iPad.

my father has a galaxy tab 10.1 and comparing daily pics, my prime is indeed better.

i think its not what is new or what is old.

It's about what is available in the camp ( and considered best).
in this comparison each of them come from their camp as the top TABLETS yet! so it is justifiable to say so.

Hey xtremesv, how about you stop complaining and do a little research for yourself. It's really annoying hearing you jealous hating android fans b*tch and b*tch and b*tch. If you like your tablets so much, go use it!!! Stop obsessing over Apple so much, lol. The iPad 3 has a much better camera, get over it.

"But after checking out the results, it’s blatantly obvious that the XOOM has the upper hand in shooting photos thanks to its sharper looking details. Granted that we like the richer looking color production with the iPad 2, it unfortunately is RENDERED ALMOST USELESS for low lighting situations. Thankfully you still get some discernible details with the XOOM’s low lighting shots, but with the iPad 2, it’s plastered with an ABUNDANCE OF NOISE to make it look EXTREMELY GRAINY"

"Without a doubt, the Motorola XOOM produces the best photos out of the bunch with its sharp looking snapshots and natural looking color production. Coming in at second place is none other than the G-Slate which closely produces the same quality as the XOOM, but colors are more on the dull side. Also, the two Android tablets handle macro shots and low lighting situations with ease thanks to their auto-focus and LED flash. Meanwhile, the PlayBook handles well on its own despite the lack of auto-focus with its acceptable looking shots. SADLY THOUGH, the iPad 2 just doesn’t cut it with its poor and grainy looking visuals."

"Absolutely no denying it, the HTC Jetstream is hands-down the tablet you’ll want to pick if you’re interested in snapping a few photos. Generally, higher megapixel count doesn’t mean it’ll translate to better quality, but in this specific scenario, the Jetstream’s 8-megapixel shooter easily beats out the paltry less than 1-megapixel count of the iPad 2. In almost every situation, the Jetstream produces the better looking images with its sharper details and neutral looking color production – and it helps that the dual-LED flash is there to lighten things up. On the opposite end, the iPad 2’s results are DOWNRIGHT APPALLING WITH LOTS OF GRAININESS, MUDDY APPEARANCE, and lack of fine detail. Seriously, the results are literally night and day between the two."

"The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is the superior one when it comes to snapping photos. Blatantly, its 3.2-megapixel auto-focus camera produces images that are filled with better detail and color production. Looking at the same shots, you can clearly see that the iPad 2’s results are filled with soft details and WASHED OUT LOOKING COLORS – making it look rather muddy and hazy overall. With macro shots, it’s obvious that images taken by the Galaxy Tab 10.1 are sharper looking. Additionally, there’s a noticeable amount of DIGITAL NOISE evident with the iPad 2’s shots in low lighting, which is something less prominent with the Galaxy Tab 10.1. "

"Given the iPad's INABILITY TO TAKE PICTURES OR VIDEOS, we have no other choice but to proclaim the Samsung Galaxy Tab the better tablet for photography purposes"

I see you did your homework, great! I didn't have the time I'm a busy person. BTW my comment was sarcastic not a conclusive statement and FYI I own an iPad 2 and don't care about tablet cameras.
