Which of those require a lot of typing? All I can think of is word and even that could be just reformatting your text on the go. If you want to fiddle with some coding or even a simple excel sheet, that is either impossible or absolute hell on ios/android.

 

Windows gaming is better, now and forever. Why wouldn't I play any games I want with my tablet? Because you say so?

Browser: No, I haven't used it. Does that make java work on android? Does it have greasemonkey?

Streaming, you don't know. That about sums it up.

Streaming video? Some codecs don't work even from sd card. Tversity&co streaming does not play those files either. If you are not going to believe me, I don't care.

You do realize MS Office will be on iOS/Android very soon right? Additionally, GoogleDocs provides all the same functionality and does work fine. But if you're using office software, they you'll likely always want a keyboard as you're doing a lot of inputting of text. That's the only real difference. Its the typing... not either OS.

Windows gaming in terms of core gaming is only better right now... however, if you include OnLive and a bluetooth controller like PS3's then its identical. So you are simply wrong. Additionally, Google and Apple have both either directly stated or had various new patents that show they will be greatly expanding into core gaming with normalized controllers. In 2013 that shift will happen. Its inevitable.

Yes Chrome in Android uses java just fine as well as greasemonkey. A game I was recently playing required it.

Streaming/Video... send a file type or site and I can test. I think you're either uninformed, making it up, or simply using things that are clearly not main stream/common/mass consumer tools.

Are you going to do your work through a phone/tablet? no so its pointless to compare that or tools specific to those fields like programming. You wouldn't do it with a windows based tablet either, you need more robust hardware, kb/ms, etc.
