The comparison of Android tablets and iPad needs one to have a clear insight into the various aspects of both the devices. While the Android Tablet is fully supported by Google, iPad enjoys the support of Apple Inc. Both company providing same thing with the different features and quality, and all know these two are the world's best company, but difficult to determine best from both but here we can compare both devices from the user experience, review and behavior of the device. Some of the prime grounds of comparison are as follows.
Size of the Device Screen:
The view of the application and finally its utility depends to a great extent on the screen size of the device. The screen size of the iPad is around 10 inches and so much that at times it could be compared to the mini laptop. It could be one of the best devices for watching a movie while you are traveling. On the other hand the Android devices have a screen size much smaller than that of iPad and this usually fits your palm. Finally it is the portability and utility that influences the market share of that product. The Android phones are more portable and have higher utility factor. Finally it depends on the buyer, whether he/she needs a small screen or bigger screen and the purpose of having the device.

Operating System:
Having access to the Android app market is much easier than that for the Apple app market. This is usually because of the difference in the operating system.
The version of the software on every Android tablet is not the same. An Android application may work well on one Android tablet but may not work on another. This could mainly be because of the difference in the version and the updating required. The updating could be at times instantaneous and at times take prolonged time duration.
Applications:
Usually most of the people find the Android operating system to be more effective and compatible than the iOperating System (iOS) a product of Apple Inc.
The comparison between Android Tablets and iPad is incomplete without the mention of applications. The Android applications are much more in comparison to the iPad applications. The major reason is the open system of the Android. The Android being an open source enjoys larger support of the developer’s community. More the applications available more are features added on to the device. The user has a larger range of Android applications to choose from. With reference to application the Android Tablet seems to be far ahead of iPad.
Costing:
Cost is one of the factors that have a very big impact on the popularity and sale of any device. The Android application, having been developed on open system, is much cheaper than the iPod application. The fee for registering as an Android application developer is much higher than that of iPad. Both the devices have data plans. The data plan on any tablet is indispensable.
