Lack of expandable storage is a flaw with both, but iPad is especially more expensive so shouldn't get with lack of extra storage as it's nearly £100 extra on an Nexus 10gb 32gb, which is a lot of money

As for apps, it seems most apps start out for free and android but costs 69p on ios, thats what it seems like. But i'm also sure given the time, apps for android tablets will come, it justs needs time, it's not like iPad has so many apps when they ipad 2 anyway.

But I suppose for apple's sake its good they have a 64gb model, even though it's very expensive at £559! But it's good it got some use fot it though

Also, I think the nexus 4 is a brilliant buy for it, because of it's pricepoint, only £279 for 16gb. But it's down to individual what products you like really. I like ios but it's product just seems too expensive and luckily i like android too, so i can get that instead.

Well I was checking out the prices for the Nexus 10 here in Japan and it's 36,800 yen (16gb) or 44,800 yen (32gb) a difference of 8,000 yen between the two. (~$100 USD), which is the price difference Apple uses as well when adding storage. (Base 16gb ipad retina is 42,800 yen)

What's strange is that for the Nexus 7, Google charges either 19,800 yen (16gb) or 24,800 yen (32gb) a difference of 5,000 yen for the storage upgrade. (~$62 USD) These prices are from the Google Play Store. I wonder why they charge more to upgrade the storage space on the Nexus 10 compared to the Nexus 7? The N7 came out first as well.

The limited storage is just a real turn off. I know some people say "I can just stream what I need.", but streaming uses up your data as well as your battery. (cellular antennas use more power compared to wifi or having the data locally

The 16GB model in both cases probably is sold at a loss while the 32GB one is sold with a profit and they expect to come out at more or less +/- 0 when taking both models into the equation. And here is the reason why they don't add an SD card slot as it means more people will buy the lower end model, so they would need to make that model more expensive.
