If
talking about its competitors you can hardly name the original iPad as they
both are pretty much the same apart from updates.
Some
people think the closest competitor of iPad 2 is the iPhone but I think they
are wrong for one reason. Both devices were created with different purposes in
minds. The IPhone is a device to entertain you, and the iPad is more for work
and studying due to its well thought out organizational features.
Who
are its competitors then?
Overall
there are three devices which might be in competition with the iPad 2. These
are T-Mobile LG G-Slate, Motorola XOOM Tablet PC and ASUS Eee Slate EP121
Tablet PC.
Let’s
look at them closer
T-Mobile
LG G-Slate which features three cameras, there are two cameras facing the rear
(one for videos, the second one for stills and LED flash available for both)
and the third one is a front facing camera. The touchscreen display is only
8.9-inch, however this is more than compensated for with the 3D feature. And
one more thing that the iPad 2 still doesn’t have is a 1080p compatible video
natively. The tablets are available in two versions, of 32 GB or 64 GB and are
running on a dual core Tegra 2 processor. The device provides some Google
Mobile apps such as Google Maps, Talk, and Video.
The
next competitor is Motorola XOOM Tablet PC which features a 16:9 widescreen HD
display , a 10.1-inch screen and 1200-pixel by 800-pixel resolution, which is a
little bit more than what the iPad offers with a 9.7-inch screen and 1024-pixel
by 768-pixel resolution. It’s a genuine multitasker. For instance iPad 2 only
permits limited multitasking in the background and its resolution equates to a
ratio of 4:3. As for batteries this Motorola device’s battery can last as long
as the iPad’s, namely up to 10 hours (we are talking about devices of similar
size to the iPad 2). Other aspects of Motorola XOOM Tablet PC are two cameras,
a Micro USB port and an HDMI out connector.
Like in the case of the T-Mobile LG
G-Slate the device is powered by a Tegra 2 Dual Core CPU. In general the XOOM
will cost approximately the same price as the iPad 2 but will offer only half
of the features.
ASUS
Eee Slate EP121 Tablet PC is a strong competitor too as it presents more
options than the iPad 2. An Intel Core i5 CPU and Intel-based HD graphics
system powers this processor. The display is really impressive (12.1-inch,
1280-pixel by 800-pixel resolution). The device is complete with two built-in
USB ports, a Bluetooth Keyboard, a Pen Stylus, a mini HDMI out port and dual
card reader. To get this device you will have to pay much more than the iPad2.
