IPad vs Android tablets

What is your opinion about the performance of digital magazines in each of the devices? Which one to choose for this purpose?
Thanx.

Performance: definetly the iPad.
Content viewer on android is a bit sluggish (as are all apps compared to
them on the iPad)

From iPad to android tablet

Hi,
I just finish my first iPad only app ( after a few iPhone app). I intend to create an android version.
Do I just change settings in flash an upload it to android market ? or do I have to make some change... (stage an so on )
If someone have some expérience in this issue
Thanks.

If you kept different screen sizes in mind when you were building the app then its just as easy as you described it. You will need to get an android certificate but its easy as pie and all done right there in flash.
If however you designed the app to fit just right into 768x1024px dimensions then you have a whole lot of work in front of you not to mention android tablets are all different sizes too, the original galaxy Tab looks to be 600 x 1024 and the new galaxy tab is close to an ipad in dimensions where the motorola Xoom is 1280x800 so its a lot to keep track of.
Hope that helps a little.

Can iPad or Android tablets reply to forum questions?

Can the iPad be used to write replies to forum questions?
I ask because I have been using an Android tablet recently and though it can be used to input text into browser etc. text fields, it stubbornly refuses to reveal its keyboard when I try to respond to forum questions.
I don't know whether it is a fault with my device, user error or whether iPads and other tablets just can't be used for this purpose.

It completely depends on the specific forum/post you are thinking about.
As stedman1 pointed out, the mobile versions of browsers (i.e., iPad safari, etc.) are almost always limited with respect their desktop versions. For example, if your forum uses flash to post messages, you will never be able to post a message using an iPad at this moment since iPad does not support flash.
That being said, the web has started to be more mobile (and getting more in each day). Most of the websites (and forums) have either dedicated mobile web versions, where they make sure that you can access all information as you were in a normal computer. If that does not work, they even create dedicated apps (there are iPad apps for some webpages) so that you can post/explore the webpage through the app.
Also, one final (and maybe not yet good solution) is to use cloud browsers. The idea with these browsers is that they run on servers and transmit the webpage back to you as images. Your actions (click, keyboard input, etc.) are also captured and transmitted back to the server. This way, you can emulate a real desktop browser on your iPad, which will have the same limitations (or unlimitations) as a desktop browser.
If you have a specific webpage, etc. in mind, just tell us and we can check on your behalf.

HELP WANTED: I wanna buy an iPad or Android Tablet, but IDK which one to buy...

So I am expecting my tax refund in a week or 2 & I wanna buy an Android Tablet, but I am kinda computer/tablet stupid & I have no clue which one to pick... Specific things I want in an Android Tablet include the following: Android 2.3 or newer, touch screen, Micro SD card slot & good battery life are all my must haves!!! Additionally, if possible, I would prefer a White Android Tablet over a Black Android Tablet!!! I am a T-Mobile employee, I work @ their customer service center/inbound call center in Portland, Oregon. My expertise is cell phone activations, new customer activations/sales/upgrades, tech support & billing. I am very unknowledgeable when it comes to the iPad & Android Tablets. If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated!!! So far I've narrowed down my tablet selection to the Sony Tablet S, Asus Transformer Prime, iPad 2 & Asus Slider... Suggestions??? A little insight help please!!! Thanks so much:-)

Keyboard is not hugely important, however it would be nice, I can type very well on a tablet, so keyboard is not a must... Micro SD card & Android 2.3 or higher is an absolutle must!!! Cameras of at least 5MP would be nice as well. I've done a little research since I posted this & iPad 2 is officially off my list. Asus Slider, Sony Tablet S & Asus Transformer Prime are what I'm looking at as of now. As far as screen goes, I want a larger screen if possible. Flash websites I also want access to. When it comes to sound, I listen to alot of music, I am in my 20's so I'm kinda a partier & I like loud music, so something with a high level of audio & vidoe sound would be great!!! I personally own an Android cell phone, the HTC Sensation with T-Mobile, I have had Android cell phones since the very first day the HTC G1 phone came out, the HTC G1 was the very first Android phone ever put out by any cell phone carrier. I absolutely do love Android so very much!!! Based off of all of this, what do you recommend or suggest???

EPUB exported from InDesign works on iPad and not on Android tablets

I've edxported several similar books to EPUB from InDesign CS5, using the same technique each. After exporting from InDesign, there's a lot of tweaking of the HTML code and some changes to the content.opf and toc.ncx, but the finished product for all of the books works fine on iPads but some do not work on Android tablets. There are six separate InDesign documents in each epub book...three small, one large, and then two small. Some of the books work fine on Android tablets, but for some of them, the first three documents show up fine, but when one advances to the large document, the book closes. There's no error message. Any ideas what the problem might be? Are there size limitations for documents on Android machines?

As you have found out - it doesn't work.

Anyone find a tablet, Ipad, Cius, Android based, otherwise that works with console?

This question is out on Google, no good answers so I figure this is probably the best place to go. I know that there are a ton of SSH apps, telnet apps, etc for the IPad and Android based OS's. The one thing I'm not seeing is a serial console utility like a teraterm/hyperterminal for a tablet OS. I've been wanting to see if I can switch remote troubleshooting to a tablet rather than a laptop (see convenience). One thing that's keeping that from happening for me is the lack of console capability. Has anyone got a console working on any tablet system, if so how, and what tools are you using?

Well, there is no RS-232 hardware on most of these units, and if there is it is usually not accessible short of Jailbreaking or Rooting the device. Even when available, the low-voltage electronics present either as a USB or a low-voltage serial port which require additional adaptation.
At one point, someone made a Bluetooth Console cable:

But that project is dead.
If you can get one, it might work on Android with

I see a product that makes a Wifi serial port
http://www.serialio.com/products/mobile/wifi/WiSnapAAA.php
Which may be promising. Again, I have never used it.
Bottom line is that the serial hardware is generally not available on those platforms, but there may be a path to purpose built wireless dongles to do the job. The so-called "1 port terminal server" is well suited to this job.
I haven't used the iPhone or Android in this way but would love to hear what you learn. Seems that Bluetooth would be the way to go.

The iPhone practically does whatever the iPad could. The only differences are :

While it is true the iPad does not natively support SMS (Text) messaging, there are several apps available in the App Store which would allow the iPad to send/receive SMS messages. All of my friends/relatives moved to iPhones long ago so I don't have any recent experience with any of those apps but I do know they are available.

My ipad 3 keeps dropping the wifi connection when my android tablet, android phone, and laptop have never had any issues.

I just got a verizon ipad and am having wifi connection problems. It will connect to my wifi but every 5 or 10 minutes it will drop the connection. The only way to get it back is to go and manually connect to it again in the wifi settings.
Is anyone else having this problem? My android tablet and phone and laptop do not have this problem.

It appears hundreds are having this problem. You must not have done a search for this subject before posting. Try a search for "wifi connection problem on iPad 3" and you'll get lots of information regarding this problem and a few suggestions you can try.

Published Course (Captivate 8) not displaying at correct size on Android tablet (HTML5)

I am now publishing my system simulations as both SWF and HTML5. They are set to NOT scale as they should fit correctly on all my client's screen resolutions. The simulations are built at 1006 x 627 pixels.
When uploaded to the LMS and tested on various devices everything displays OK on PC (swf) and ipad (html5) but I'm having issues on Android 4.1.2.and 4.2.2 (Chrome 37).
The whole of the simulation screen should be visual on the Android tablets which have a screen resolution of 1280x800. When taking into account the player top and bottom bars I still have 656 pixels to display the course content. However the 1006 is scaling to 1280 making the course height too high and dropping off the bottom of the screen.
If I publish with 'scaling' turn on the course now fits on the Android screen correctly i.e. height correct with spare width, but on non Android devices i.e. PC with high resolution, the course is now scaling up.
Why is the course not locked to correct size in Android?

Hi,
I have added two images, one from the Android tablet which is stretching the slide to fill the screen width and another from a high resolution PC which is showing the simulation as the correct size.
The android device is 1280x800, the simulation is 1006x627

I'm trying to decide whether to buy ipad or cheaper tablet. What is retina display and what is diff betw ipad and mini with only wifi? What is mini missing?

I'm trying to decide on tablet to buy -- what is the difference between mini and ipad? What is retinal display? Why do some have wifi only and some have wifi cellular? Why would I need cellular?
I keep hearing that apple computers don't pick up viruses like pc (of which I have had my fair share) so that is why I am considering -- but there are some really attractive deals for cheaper tablets.

A simple answer to a loaded question? Not here!
1.     For starters, I can't recommend the newest iPad AIr or iPad Mini. The previous versions worked perfectly though if you want to go the Apple route. That alone will save you a few bucks. Best Buy undercuts Apple prices by a few $$ and has bonus sales around this time of year.
2.   You get what you pay for. I like the Samsung Galaxy Tabs a lot. Good hardware and software. App store has plenty to offer. You also have size options like you do with Apple.   Since I have the Galaxy S3 phone, the Galaxy tabs are very familiar. The Surface (smaller one) is big for a tablet, it works great, but is subject to the frailties that plague PCs to some degree.   I don't like the keyboard, but do like the kickstand.   I don't know about the availability of Apps for the Surface, I think it may be a major downside to the device. The Surface is not cheaper than iPad either. As for the cheaper Tablets, they will be in the landfill before Apple introduces a new gadget (that's pretty often....)   The Kindle is still primarily, an eReader.
3.   Wifi or wifi and cellular - If you have a smart phone and can tether a tablet, you don't need cellular on the tablet. With more places offering free hot spots, wifi is more than adequate. ( I use very little cellular on my mini)
4.    iTunes and the App store; I will start by saying I am cheap. If the App isn't free, it has to be really valuable to me or I won't buy it. I paid for Pages on my iPad 2 years ago and I bought a password wallet that syncs on all my devices on all platforms. Aside from that I buy music to add to the CDs I imported to iTunes. If you don't like iTunes and don't want to use it, keep looking at android tablets.
5.    ios 7 - Never has Apple made such a big deal and been so poorly prepared to introduce a new ios. It has devoted Apple heads steamed. I count myself one and have had no problems with my devices, educated user I hope, or just really lucky.
6.    I really USE my tablet. I use it for work, for financial management and communications. I rarely have to resort to the desktop as almost everything is possible on the iPad. I love it's portability! Documents and data flow back and forth with the cloud I never worry about losing anything or finding anything. Photos download automatically from my Android smart phone with Dropbox App and are instantly available to load on all devices.
7.    If you are a big PC hacker type, the switch to ios is culture shock. The first time on the new iMac I was at my wits end trying to navigate. I only had to stop working so hard and it all fell into place.
My personal experience:
    I have the iPad 2, (wifi only) and the first mini (with 4G LTE) and I had a 4th generation iPod touch and now have a 5th Gen iPod touch (which I really like a lot). My son has an iPhone 4S and the iPad with retina display. Both my sons have had iPods through the years.
   My 50 year old eyes prefer the bigger screen of iPad 2 and typing is much easier. But I love the portability of the smaller tablet, so one for home, one for the road. Thanks to iCloud what ever is on one is also on the other, documents, data, contacts, etc.   Retina display, my son has it, I don't, I can't say I miss it. It does make pictures look better, if you are a photo person, the retina display is worth it.
I also have transitioned from PC to Apple completely, I bought an iMac 4 years ago and it is as fast as it was on day one, no crashes, repairs, viruses. I just bought a Mac Mini and I also use Apple Airport extreme for router and I have an Apple TV (the only disappointment, I prefer the Roku 2)
I'm sure that was more than you asked for.....

Connect to my 10.6 mail server from an android tablet

I have an Samsumg Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 (Android 4.0.1) tablet and I need to set up my email for my business on it. I have it set up fine on my iPhone and iPad and desktop (Mac and Windows both), but when I try to set it up on my Android tablet it either says the username or password is incorrect (I am positive it is not) or it cannot contact the server. I've about pulled my hair out trying to figure out which setting is messing things up, but on the tablet the choices are few, so I'm about at a loss. The only thing I can think of is that there is no option on the Android to use MD5 challenge/response for authentication. If that were it, why would it say "Incorrect username or password"?
I know this isn't an Android forum, but it IS an Apple email server. Any peculiarities I might be overlooking might be the problem, so that is why I ask here.

There is nothing unique, special or weird going on here, there is only the usual slog of figuring out what an individual mail client requires and offers, and what the mail server provides and can offer, and aligning the two within your local expectations and needs.
OS X Server uses standard Unix mail server tools. Postfix and Dovecot. And again, there is nothing special, weird, or unique here.
Check your mail server logs for details around the connection failure. Assuming you see the connection error arriving, of course, and that's a clue in itself. You'll want and need to look at both the IMAP or POP logs, and the SMTP logs.
The usual triggers are the firewall settings, the particular required ports for your mail server configuration, whether SSL is used or not, and possibly the encoding of the credentials.
Check with the Android client settings, with the Android documentation, and possibly then with an Android forum around what your particular client requires, when connecting with Postfix and Dovecot tools. (These are standard Unix tools, so I'd expect there are Android-specific discussions around the network. Here's one discussion, though the trigger for what that Android user encountered is probably a firewall block against outbound TCP port 25 connections from random boxes — boxes that are not known mail servers — that is increasingly implemented around the 'net.)
And FWIW, OS X Server 10.6 has a layer of management tools atop Postfix with Server Admin key among these, and I'd manage via those first and not via the direct postfix commands. But the lower-level postfix commands do work on OS X Server, if you're looking around. In other words, read-only, don't use the lower-level Postfix tools to make changes, unless Server Admin et al don't allow you access to the setting.

Does apple tv work with android tablets

Does apple tv work with android tablets.

Doubtful.
What allows for streaming content from an iPad to a television thru an Apple TV is Apple software included with iOS on the iPad and the Apple TV software. Unless there is a 3rd party android app that provides for this, no.

Dynamic menu dropdown for android tablet

Hi i've created a dropdown menu, it works on hover on desktop view and on a ipad it works also perfect.
with the javascript.

can someone give me some advise how i can make it work on a android tablet of mobile.
Gr. danny

You would need to be using desktop Firefox to have a bookmarks toolbar. While there are tablet like devices that run desktop operating systems they tend to have a short battery life, be more expensive and are heavier than traditional tablets. For example the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Surface_Pro_3 Microsoft Surface Pro] would be the closest device that I can think of.
