What does this prove? The average person is uninformed and clueless when it comes to Android tablets. More apps available for the Fire than Android? Oh boy.

ABSOLUTELY!!!! It's amazing that people will willingly plunk down hundreds of dollars on something withour doing any research.

Lol, how about price getting a 7.2 score for the Ipad! Of course, if they asked people who DIDN'T purchase an Ipad if price was the factor, it would probably score in the high 9's. I can buy 3 N7's for the price of the high end Ipad 3 right now.
