Tablets - what to do.

the A9 was used because its a general purpose processor that can do everything unlike M3's that are just use for radios etc.

Why nit picking about its architecture - as long as it delivers what it says who cares how it does it.

the new Exynos will be the better chip I agree - but it won't be in the transformer 2 so thats where it will lose out for me.

No one has copied the transformer concept - and until they do they can stick their super duper SoCs.

I probably nit pick because I'm a geek, and through work reasonably heavily exposed to arm soc's,

The A7 makes more sense than the A9 though, it is as you mention a full featured core, yet lower power...

I just think, as a geek again, that the use of an A9 5th core smells of bodging <something> to get decent power consumption.

Ah, and now you change the ballpark and introduce the transformer concept, and yes you're right that's unique and overrides the SoC used...
 
Why do you want to replace the iPad?
I have an original iPad and Galaxy Tab 10.1 and as much as I love it, the iPad is just so much smoother on everything, compared to most apps on the Tab where there always seems to be a bit of a pause.
I am comparing the same apps on each platform here by the way.

Based on this I would certainly say wait and see what the next range of Android ones are like.

I've also found Flash less than fully convincing on Android too, which is slightly dissapointing as it was one of the driving factors to buy the Tab. It does work on things like the bbc site, but I still find sites with a lot of flash menus etc don't display correctly.

Interesting, not sure how accurate that is though, seems to be several 'company x claims...' and 'rumours suggest...'

I was going to rip into the writer regarding his claim that he thinks the nvidia power saving solution is better than the Qualcomm/TI options, but I really cba, I will say that I get the feeling he's biased towards them (but then I'm biased against them for some reason and so that might be altering my opinion :p)
