After doing considerable consumer homework I chose the Lenovo ThinkPad 1838. It's touchscreen-operated, is the size & weight of an iPad, but exceeds the iPad in functionality, making it a full alternative to a laptop (esp. if choosing the 64GB model as I chose). A big enticement for me was that this is the first ThinkPad model (android op system) that is compatible with Kindle AND Netflix. iPad has a few more bells & whistles with the touch features, and responds faster (I found youtube comparison/demonstrations), but the design of this device is competitively sleek/appealing to my taste. iPad offers the instant sharing of music, etc, among Apple devices---but I have a functioning PC at home so wouldn't benefit anyway, and the android and PC are able to interact. I am very happy with the choice and value in that I'm now using it in lieu of having 3 devices I might have separately acquired (for much greater monetary outlay): a kindle, an iPad, and an alternative/backup home computer/laptop. If there's an equivalent device in price, size/wt, and options currently on the market, I am unaware of it. I've owned it for just one week, but have fairly heavily used/tested it out.
