Choosing a tablet...

[bubblepop900]

So, I've been thinking about getting a tablet lately and am not entirely sure as to which would be the best. I already have an iPod touch 4th generation, so the iPad does sort of have a limited appeal to me; however, I have not completely eliminated it as a possibility. For the most part, I would use the tablet for basic internet browsing, YouTube, and taking notes in class when school rolls around. Everything else is really a plus although speed and battery life are quite important.

Anyway, as far as Android tablets go, I have narrowed it down to these two options:

Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (10.1")
Asus Transformer TF300T

If you are able to help me swing me one way on one of these choices, or have other recommendations, share your thoughts!

Just keep in mind that I would prefer to keep this purchase around the $400 mark, $500 MAX.

Also, I plan on purchasing this within the next month so the Windows "Surface" will not be a possibility, unfortunately.
