However, there is no dearth of tablet solutions available in the market. It can become a daunting task to select one. However, iPad is certainly one of the most obvious choice, but the fact that Android looks promising can not be denied.

Discussed below are some of the important reasons why iPad is still better than Android for your business.

What this means is that Android does not have many apps that can take advantage of the form factor.

Both Price and Performance Favor Apple: Although there is not much of a price difference between iPad and Android, but Amazon’s upcoming Fire priced around $200, certainly can not come close to iPad’s feature list.

iPad Offers Better Apps: iPad has a solid business apps which Android can not really boast of as of now. iPad offers a number of solid tools to serve as a laptop replacement. In fact, IT pros are already using tools like Citrix’s Go ToManage to provide real-time remote support.
