Sean,
Yes, facebook posts as soon as you hit return. Such a good system...easier to post on my blog...

I have a ipad1 and Mireille loves her Samsung Galaxy Tab (10 inches). Both are great !

I manage to do most business stuff on my ipad, even if sometimes I have to email myself my own documents. You ll need a few cheap apps like goodreader to exploit the potential. The ipad is simple to use and configure. You need itunes sometimes but it gives also an automatic backup, to be replaced by icloud in the future.

Since we have the galaxy, i could compare. As a geek I prefer the galaxy (android gives me a better control on whats happening and usb connectivity is better). Also I found a lot of free games for the kids making that they prefer the galaxy (paid games on ipad are free on android, ex : angry birds)
Also i use google a lot so android is better integrated with your google account. Problem with the galaxy 10 inch is that apple coul stopnthe galaxy sales in europe except NL, I think...

There are other tablets out there a good site to compare is tabletcenter.be. They have a shop in Antwerp that you can visit.
If you want cheaper, i would have a look at the chinese huawei but its a 7 inch.

The other things to consider:
- do you want something easy to carry ? Than 7 inches
- want to read a4 documents ? Than 10 inches
- I recommend you to take 3g and Mobile vikings (12 eur/month)
- wifi only and 10 inches, android, look at archos

If you are not sure, you will never be disappointed by a ipad.
The galaxy is very very close but different.

Hope it helps...
