Switching back to the iPad

So it has been a while since I left the iPad and switched over to the Samsung Galaxy tablet; see my post on 7 days with the Samsung Galaxy Tab.  I have to say that I really like the Galaxy Tab but the size feature provided by the iPad was the deciding factor.

It has been hard leaving the Galaxy Tab for two main reasons:
1) The integration with Google apps such as Gmail, Calendar, Reader, etc is far better on the Galaxy Tab
2) Typing on the Galaxy Tab is better with 2 finger blackberry style input.

That said I really missed the iPad.  Especially on travel.  Reading on the device was far better and I missed a few apps such as Pen Ultimate which had no comparable app on Android.

So at this point I using my MacBook Air and iPad when mobile, with exception of Android my Nexus S, and using my PC when at the office.

Now I have to decide on upgrading to the iPad 2 or a Honeycomb device such as the Xoom for my next purchase.
