I have had Samasung's Galaxy tablet 8.9, and SII (aptly named Calliope and Hermes) for a few days now. Got deals through my old vendors.
Apple people keep harassing me saying their iPad2 and iPhone 4S are better.
I've read reviews, and they seem on par. From personal experience, Apple products seem more easy to use.
The flash support was my big one up until adobe announced they were finally killing it for html5. Even though this is the case, flash support is still really valuable to internetters like me who watch shit like zero punctuation.
So what I've been saying is what makes my phone and tablet better is that it's the most ideologically pleasing platform. Fuck proprietary bull shit.
In the end, I just like swype.

(Flash is bad. It is ruining the internet -- by making it unparseable (Flash webpages = vomit), and splitting it into company-factions (you need to install a specific retarded company's crap to have the privilege of viewing it). The whole point of the internet was to spread information, via open standards.) I happily ignore Macromedia-monkeys, with pretty much no inconvenience. That little company/group will disappear soon enough. Perhaps you can tell the "zero punctuation et al" people to use open software, at the very least to offer an output option in an open standard. Unless they only want to broadcast to the depressing gated Flash corner of the internet.)
