I'm curious what opinions are about this article. I am in the market for five tablets (family, business, and gift purposes alike), and want to be sure I make the right choice. I've definitely favored Android devices since v4.x came around, but I want to be sure I'm making a wise choice. I don't have a vested interest in the Apple ecosystem, price (more so, value) matters to me, and I like having choices and flexibility.

Like the other new Nexus devices and Chromebook, the Nexus 10 tablet is selling like hotcakes. With Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Christmas, and other special sales where low prices often take precedent, it is positioned to do extremely well because it is superior to the iPad 4 in most key hardware specs and has great navigation and the latest Android 4.2 OS to boot. Ever since the awesome iPads dominated the market a couple years ago, talk of an "iPad Killer" has come up repeatedly but never materialized. Market share numbers have dropped for the iPad in recent months and rumors are about that they will need to drop prices abound. Now, with the Kindle Fire, Microsoft Surface, Samsung Galaxy (heavily discounted this weekend), and now the Nexus 10 on the scene, are we looking at the beginning of the end of the iPad as the dominant tablet, or is this just a kick in its pants?
