But i do still believe that iPad's are the best tablets out there!
I'll take 'boring' over the quirks many have ascribed to Android on other devices, particularly the DX100 ....
Boring means it works when you turn it on and want to listen to music/watch a movie. Boring is good.
Is it a bit slow, like some reviews claim? I mean in comparison to the iPad?
I haven't noticed at all. The only thing that seems to have a bit of a lag is very 'busy' websites like Engadget or The Verge. They can sometimes take longer to load. Everything else has been very responsive. The more I learn about it the more I like it.

I'm glad to hear you like it. I'm DEFINATELY thinking of getting one soon,...after all the work here in NYC is finished. I work for NYCT as a track maintainer,...we're in pretty bad shape. NYC got slammed by Sandy,...off to the Rockaways I'll be tomorrow to see what we can do. It's devestating.
Have you tried streaming any music over the Net ? That should be more a test of your connection's bandwidth than the Mini's internals, but my even my Core i3 laptop with 8GB cant compensate for the crap speeds we get down here .....
I have an ipad, enjoy it but iOS is boring
An operating system that isn't boring is an operating system in which I have no interest. My iPad is a business tool. I bill by the hour. Operating system drama is food that doesn't get on the table and mortgage payments that don't get made. No thanks.
I know that there are so many camps in Head-Fi that think all Apple products sound the same. After spending a while listening to AH-D 7000s straight out of an Ipad2, I think it sounds better than the Touch. IMO.
After about 60 days I'm actually really starting to like the sound of the Ipad2 stock.
With the exception of a few apple products, most of them are the same general flavor (detailed and clean) but with varying levels of fidelity. So yes, you could say they sound all the same. Right now I'm listening to the iTouch 5 and it sounds brilliant - as good as the 4s.
One of our best friends had their Iphone 4s taken from a bag at a spa a couple of days ago. They used the online software to track the phone. It ended up at a stable location at a hotel pool where our friend and another walked over to recognize the person from the day before who had taken the phone. They then called the number at meeting the person and heard it ringing in the side pocket of a bag.
They were able to get the phone back with the culprit saying someone placed the phone in his bag. Amazing story!
