Someone mentioned a good support system. I agree! If your family uses Apple products and you decide to get an Android for whatever reason, it's harder to get quick advise - not the kind of stuff you feel like dragging out to the store for. ( and obviously the same would apply to the reverse product arrangement) I have an iPad and iPhone as do my kids.. When I need help, they are right there and I've had very little learning issues. But my sister has an Androide, her kids Apple products and when she needs help she's stuck. Just something to think about.
