Me, I'm a Google fan so the Galaxy Tab running Froyo (Android 2.2) is always going to be a winner unless you want to get seriously into iPad synthesizer aps (where it has a huge advantage currently). Ultimately, though, it comes down to deciding what you want it FOR. Games and sound aps? You'll need an iPad. eReading, techy geek stuff, reading news / Google integration? Gotta go with the Android.
