Thanks very much for your contribution.
So you like the iPad 2 more than the Galaxy Tab? I have gone very sour on Apple lately. I owned iPhones the last couple of years and they kept breaking and I also have $300 worth of locked music from way back on iTunes. I still have a classic iPod, which I love, but I also am a PC guy through and through. All of this makes me keen for an Android. I have a Galaxy S2 now and I love the phone. I don't particularly mind the length of the thing.
What I would use it for would be Email, Facebook, some word processing (is there a good office app available for it compatible with Work, Outlook etc?) and then some media like movies and stuff from time to time.

Well the iPad2 has a better battery life..besides the third pary apps that's one of the main reason I like the iPad better.. But still you can play 2 maybe even 3 movies with the Tab before it runs out of juice.. Personally I never had any apple stuff break down but I do know enough people who are cursed when the buy anything apple..
Facebook, Websurfing, Email works fine on th Tab.. especially gmail.. QuickOffice Pro HD is the app for docs.. works perfectly.. syncs with a lot of cloud services like dropbox, mobileme, googledocs.. it's an expensive app at 20 dollars but worth the money..
Media wise that thing is a beast.. it doesn't really matter what you throw at it.. it plays MKV WMV MP4 etc etc.. that's one of the things I like waaay better on the tab then on the iPad... I'm one of the few people who downloaded VLC player for iOS while you still could (licensing issues within VLC forced it to be removed) but the Tab doesn't need a third party app...
I'm actually surprissed how much time a tablet takes you away from a desktop/notebook... I think it's at least 50%.. tablets are damn handy.

Thank you for all your comments.
I just ordered the cheapest model (16GB with Wifi), in part due to your recommendations.
