Those of you that know me, know that I have a strong disdain for the Apple Corporation.  I actually like the iPad and while I prefer android powered devices, I recognize that Apple puts out a quality, albeit locked down, product. With that said, you may know that I received an iPad recently and will be doing a comprehensive right up, comparing it to android tablets. I will admit that I do actually like the iPad.  Having said that, while downloading the Google Chrome Browser to my iPad this morning, I received a message saying that this was a restricted app, due to inappropriate content.  The content in question would an arguably better browsing experience.
