Ipad , Google pad, Droid or ?

[Tbars4]

..This is for one of my customers and I know nothing about the pads so I thought I would ask here..

..My customer is a Verizon customer and an avid book reader..

..She can be found reading a book or 2 on her Kindle each day and the rest of the time she is on her desktop..

..She has a 17" HP laptop but it's to friggin huge to be considered portable these days..


Must haves

Verizon wireless broadband (as well as wifi and hotspots a plus)

wants it to be "ease of use", link to Windows desktop computer for shared calender (constant business scheduling changes) and pictures taking (sizing, posting, on the spot sending).

...and of course full email reading and merging with Microsoft office and she still uses Outlook (not sure if she will need it but runs her desktop with these so compatibility may or may not be an issue)



Pros

..She has seen the new Ipad and loves the vibrance of the new hi-res improvement

rest of the family has Ipads

Cons

High cost for Ipad 3 ($900 for 64G)

..But also wondered what would be the long term best pad for their wants..Any help would be appreciated as she wants to pull the trigger within a week, possibly this week..

..No replies here so I referred her to an inexpensive droid pad until the Ipad 3's become reasonably priced..

All of the android tablets so far have failed to impress. The ipad is the only way to go right now with her needs. The ipad 2 is still an option at a lower price as well.

I like the Galaxy Tab 2 (7") a lot, but the iPod is the standard to which all others are compared.
