I may buy one of these for my wife as a birthday present shortly.


I have a dislike for all things Apple, but if its best I'll buy whats best.


The main requirement is that she can watch BBC iplayer on it and therefore...is it true you cannot do this on the ipad because it does not have Flash? Can anyone confirm this? If so it is a non starter.


Otherwise the man at Dixon tells me the Samsung is lighter, has Flash and HD, plus can interact with your "internet ready TV" but the ipad has more reactive touchscreen.


Can anyone add any reason to buy the ipad2 over the samsung?


Thanks.

Hi Mick Mac


I have been in the same situation...


My iPod Touch supports BBC iPlayer so the the iPad certainly does...

Does not require Flash for that.


The Samsung is supposed to support Flash but Dixons, PC World, and Curry's have not been able to demo it.


When I tried my own Flash site, it needed Flash player to be installed. (Not pre installed, Thats Normal)

When I tried to download Flash it asked for Passwords / set up a Google Account.


Do not know why it was asking this just to download Adobe Flash Player.


It is personal preference between the two...

PS. I am confused now..


Looking at the BBC iplayer page says you need the latest version of Flash Player. ???(?)

Yet I have watched Eastenders on my ipod Touch....Confused?

You can do iplayer, but you can't do 4OD, most youtube clips and, well, anything flash. As ratty says there is an iplayer app, though I've found it extremely flaky.


I like my ipad, but given the choice now I'd probably go galaxy as I much prefer my galaxy S2 phone over my old iphone!

    • What is it that makes Waitrose so special! Admittedly I have shopped a couple of times in the Orpington and Beckenham one - sometimes buying food which I cannot get else where. Their 'basic range' is not bad. Price for price and quality - M & S.
    • Sometimes a shed or other installation has to have written approval from the freeholder i.e. Southwark, Southwark has (or did have) a Leaseholder Association.   Could also come under Anti Social Behaviour Unit.
    • Love Dulwich is great but has a large step in front. We have only been weekdays at Lunch time. Maria's next to Picture House is disabled friendly. Also can reserve table in advance. We did a Sunday lunch catch up with family - there were 8 of us.
    • Hi, Thinking about  going with some friends and was just wondering if folk might like to report back please. Most importantly sound level when busy & is it disabled friendly.  Thinking on a Sunday lunchtime but don’t want a busy busy environment or loud chatter - a couple of friends could not cope. Time can be flexible, if that helps - say 2 ish to avoid above.. Thanks…
