If cost isn't such an issue, then the issue stops being Apple vs Google in my opinion. That puts you into Windows 8 territory, which is a far more capable and powerful platform than any Android or iOS system will ever be. Not to mention much easier to integrate with the Windows PC your friends will likely be plugging these in to.
