What is the difference between google android market and google play?

Q. Alot of tablets have google android market with 4.1 Jelly bean android. Are they both the same, and if not can I upgrade. I want to buy a decent tablet for afordable price

A. The name is the difference. Android Market became Google Play a while ago and that's basically it. They also added books and movies to stuff you can download I think but in terms of apps there is no difference.

What are the major differences between a windows xp, or vista os and a google android 2.2 os ?

Q. What are the major differences ? Can the android os run itunes and you tube ? Does the android os offer any "microsoft word" type applications ? Thanks and 10 points to the best answer.

A. They're all smartphones but you can definitely get a lot of microsoft word apps for android--and also youtube. If you're trying to decide between which smartphones to use--I'd definitely suggest the android. I have one now and it's awesome. There are a TON of cool apps to choose from. I've been using this one called http://parlor.fm and it has been cracking me up! Hope that helps!

Is the Google Android tablet a good option when compared to the Ipad. Will it need an aircard?

Q. 1. Price is approx 1/3 of the Ipad, but is it as functional? I will primarily be showing videos to clients, both on my tablet, as well as from YouTube.
2. Will it have the ability to have a word processor and hook up to a printer?
3. I use Sprint, can I get internet access with it, or do I need to use my aircard?

A. I would suggest to buy laptop .
beacuse laptop come with good processorr and ipad or tablet pc has lower processor
