I would say Android. Apple really disapointed me with the latest iPad 2. There's nothing new and innovative here.

Honeycomb has a superb notification system compared to iOS' stupid full screen block. You have a real tablet optimised desktop with widgets and multiple homescreens, a true useful web browsing with Flash and tabs, real multitasking and everything is optimised for a tablet to be productive but simple.

You really feel you have power and control of what you are doing and can do, you should take a look at some Honeycombs video.

a true useful web browsing with Flash

Isn't this still vaporware for at least another week? Or did I miss seeing an announcement since this news:

To an early adopter, nothing is more beautiful than a paper description of an imaginary product. Imaginary products don't consume power, for example.

It is available on the Galaxy Tab and the demos of Flash on the XOOM are already up. Furthermore, even if we remove the Flash player, the browser is still far superior as is the rest of the OS.
