Ipad Mini vs. Samsung Note 8.0

May 27, 2013 9:37AM PDT

Hello, I'm an Android guy big time. But I can't help but be very envious of my Ipad / Iphone friends' incredible battery life. So I'm looking for a tablet to use in my car for streaming as much as possible. What do you suggest? Ipad Mini? Nexus? Note? I would love to be able to tab into 4g of course without having to use wifi. Can the Note be used as a phone? That's kinda big isnt it?

Anyway, what do you think? Ill also need a good sturdy usable mount for the car. Thanks

the Ipad mini has a way better os and is known for hands down being better. apple simply makes things simpler, and there features are more logical. I would heavily recommend the Ipad mini. and my friend has a nexus note and it is impossible to make calls if you're hands are not humongous.
