I've had my iPad now for almost 2 1/2 years and I can't say I like it any more than I did when I first got it for all the same reasons. Trouble is that if I want to use guitar processing apps then I have to use an iPad because the Android spec has too much latency for music processing and is therefore not up to the job of real time signal processing without noticeable lag. As a result nobody bothers to port the guitar apps to Android.
So, I'm left with two choices. Get rid of the iPad and lose my guitar apps, or just get an additional Android tablet and be able to do all the things the iPad can't do, or do very well. The second option is clearly the way to go, especially as I've just got an 8 inch tablet for Sheila and its terrific. It's a much better size than the Apple device for carrying around, and lighter too, plus expandable storage, and a more flexible operating system. It also compliments my Gopro well because after I've filmed something I can watch the footage immediately on the Android tablet. I feel a purchase coming on!
Update: I got an Asus Memo 7. It is an amazing little thing. It does everything the iPad does and hell of a lot more too, and for only £99. Well worth having as it's much more usable on the move than the iPad is. Now I need to get rid of the iPad and get a Sony Xperia tablet.
