The only thing that put's me off the iPad slightly is the lack of Flash support... however, I have my Android phone and Mac for that, at least.

Most of contents in flash are crappy adds, I don't miss flash in my iPad3,
besides flash makes the page scrolling laggy in Android tablets, Flash is no longer part (no needed) of a web surfing experience in a post pc era, since html5 and current javascript engines can make most of the tasks only flash did in the past.
 
Considering getting either an iPad, preferably the iPad 3, but the price put's me off a bit. I have an Android phone, and I love Android, so I'd get an Android tablet instead. However I have a Mac, so an iPad would go hand in hand with each other. Then again, the specs of the iPad 3 aren't too different from many Android tablets, and they're cheaper. But then there's more 'commercial' apps for the iPad, than there are for Android.

I'd want to use a tablet for Word processing, I use Office on my Mac currently. Also, I'd want music on it, and I've read you can sync iTunes with Android via Winamp. And finally, I'd like to have Photoshop Touch, for on the go image editing, as well as Adobe Ideas... mainly because I'm not too good on Illustrator, and that would help a bit for vectors.

Obviously this is an Apple forum, so am gonna expect people to say the iPad outright, but from what I want to use it for, what would you say I go for?

Also, for either tablet should I go for wifi or 3G/4G? Or should I just tether from my phone?

I own a transformer Prime and its a nice tablet, there are things on it that I miss on the ipad. There is a new version of the prime coming in June if you can wait that will up the screen from720p to 1080p, for about the same money. I paid $499 for the Prime for a 32gb version and it has a Mini SD Slot so I added another 32gb for $30. Can't beat the prices.
 
I think you are better off with Android tablet. I think you will appreciate Sony Xperia Z tablet. It looks very nice and beautiful. Maybe one day Microsoft will be working on Office 365 app for Android? :apple:
