You must have seen that i haven’t included the option for Dell tablet steak which is just released in Indian market. It is a new device and it still need sometime to become completely stable.
As far as India is concerned these tablets till now is a big failure and main reason behind this is their price and the attitude of Indians towards Windows enabled gadgets! Yes you are thinking right i am referring to all those feature rich net books available today at much lower prices than these tablets.
As far as India is concerned Apple MAC operating system haven’t get good response. Main reason is price and non availability of cool software’s.I also want to share one more point that you must have seen many celebrities taking side of Apple ant their favorite gadget being Apple MAC.The main reason behind this is that all these celebrities are too dumb to use Windows enabled devices.
Now to the point that in case i have to buy a tablet than which should i prefer?
- Screen Size:- Apple iPad comes with a screen size of 9.7 inch and Samsung Galaxy tab comes with 7 inch. Yes there is a bit of disappointment from Samsung in this field.
- Panel Technology:- So Apple iPad comes with a IPS LED panel and Samsung Galaxy Tab comes with a TFT LCD.Again Apple wins here with better screen quality and in today’s world LED is the boss according to a common men.
- Operating System:- Apple runs on IOS 4.1 and Samsung Galaxy Tab runs on Android 2.2 Froyo (Upgradble to 3.0 but date is not mentioned) and here only time will tell who is the actual winner. Both these operating systems are fast and responsive and have large number of applications on their respective stores.
- Internal Storage:- Apple iPad comes with 16 GB, 32 GB and 64 GB memory options and Samsung Galaxy Tab comes with 16 GB and 32 GB memory options.OK no winner here but yea more memory options from Apple iPad.
- Expandable Storage:- Apple comes with no expandable option as usual but Galaxy comes with expandable memory option up to 32 GB.
- RAM:- Apple iPad comes with 256 MB memory options but Samsung Galaxy Tab comes with 512 MB.So Galaxy wins here.
- Multi Tasking:-This feature is not available with Apple iPad initially but in IOS 4 style background processing is available and in Samsung Galaxy Tab it is available. So Galaxy wins here as they provide Galaxy with complete Multitasking options but on the other hand Apple iPad comes with so called IOS 4 style background processing.
- Multitouch:- This feature is available in both devices.
- Camera:- Apple hates camera so no camera options for iPad but Galaxy comes with a 3.1 megapixel camera on the rear side and 1.3 megapixel camera on the front side. You might be thinking that what’s the use of camera in a tablet.The answer to this entirely depends on individuals opinion.Some may find it useless and power wasting feature but some of you may find it useful as you can see the picture on a bigger screen at the spot without going and connecting your device to a computer or something like that.
- Phone:- Calling features are not available in Apple iPad but they are available in Samsung Galaxy Tablet.
- Bluetooth:- This is available in Apple iPad but the version is 2.1 + EDR and in Samsung Galaxy Tab the version is 3.
- GPS:- This is most useful feature of any tablet.This is available in Apple iPad’s 3G model only. GPS is also available in Galaxy without any restrictions.
- Battery Life:- Apple can play videos for 10 hours continuously but Galaxy can play it only for 7 hours approximately.
- Adobe Flash Support:- Apple hates flash because it consumes lot of battery power so iPad didn’t support Flash Content Flash is available in Samsung Galaxy Tab
