The iPad from Apple has close links with the iPhone from Apple, and also mac computers and laptops from Apple, so if you have Apple kit go for an iPad.
But if you have an Android smartphone, and/or Google email address and use other Google services then go for a Samsung or other android tablet.
I know that is basically repeating what AB Editor said, but I am just backing it up as it is good advice.
yeah, i think if you have an android smartphone go for the samsung but if you are familiar with apple go with th ipad (basically just repeating VHG and ED, but good advice)
