Having finally had enough of my iPad's slowness I picked up a Samsung Tab yesterday at a very good price. If I find it's not for me I have a couple of weeks in which to return it. 
All I can say is WOW! Have Android tablets come a long way in the last couple of years! Responsive high res screens, good OS (though I already new that from my Android phone) plus very good build quality.
All this stuff about the Apple eco system - yes maybe, but this also applies to Google and Android. I was up and running within a couple of minutes and everything that is on my phone was suddenly on the Samsung Tab. It really was as easy as that.
Had I been in the market for a slightly smaller tablet the one that really blew me out of the water for price versus quality was the Tesco Hudl2. How on earth Tesco can sell a tablet of that build quality with a full HD IPS screen for £129 is beyond me.
All I would say to those who think they have to spend upwards of £400 to get a decent tablet such as an iPad is look again, especially if it's main use is likely to be simply for browsing, email and some catchup TV.
