I wouldn't go for Apple. It's good kit, but you pay a premium and you're locked into Apple's operating system, apps, etc.

Android is definitely the way to go! My HTC One S phone is brilliant and I'm even more impressed with my (wife's) Google Nexus 10. It's an amazing piece of technology and at £330, it's significantly cheaper than an iPad. Also, the spec is better! Nexus 10's screen has got a higher resolution than Apple's "Retina" display.

Get a Nexus 10. You won't regret it!
