This, and the fact that the gmail IOS app and other Google apps for IOS have recently been updated is now making it more worthwhile to go for Apple products once again. I personally have many IOS devices but in the past year or so, have seriously shifted to Android devices due to the ease of doing things Google related, not to mention the price of Android tablets and devices is substantially less than Apple products.
