Sounds like you sold out to Apple and have stopped caring about what happens in the rest of the world, or you are desperate to justify all the money you have shelled out.
What? He doesn't even own an iPad...
Sure, the iPad still kills anything else for software, but if you want a tablet for actual tablet uses of games and movies and reading and browsing, the Galaxy Tab is great.
How many people do you know who bought the iPad for the software?
As far as I recall web browsers, movie players and games are all software. The ease of use and the smoothness of how Apple handles all of these functions are what people buy the iPad for. It's the same reason a lot of people buy the iPhone.
As for the rest of your comment, I have no idea. The poster that you replied to was talking about how the iPad is the same price as other tablet competitors but has much better software it would therefore be the cheaper option. Not sure how this lead into $2k Apple laptops as you admit yourself that a tablet != a laptop.
