Comparison of tablets of 10 inches, find the differences

With the new iPad 2 and on the desk, it's time to face to face quartet tablets of 10-inch dual-core called to share much of the percentage of sales this year 2011. Unlike last year passed in 2011 we will have a choice between a number of models very similar features and advanced operating systems. Everyone starts the road less Apple and Samsung.

The first submitted the iPad 2 as the tablet that he had left last year with two important nuances: it no longer makes a difference not surprised with the design or specifications, and the difference between your operating system and the other is not determinant. Only the application ecosystem gives advantage now.

I recommend you take a look at the analysis of improvements that should reach Applesfera iOS 5, that ye may know what I mean. As for other contenders, have against the possible cost of hazing in the market and still have not shown anything in the field, only on paper. Except for the RIM playbook with its lonely now seven inches, the tablet known to be important in high-end dresses to between 9.7 and 10.1 inches, a ridiculous difference.

The advantage of models that surpass the figure of 10 is the resolution, but in all dimensions are virtually identical. The most common length is 24 cm, only with shades of the decimal. The shorter the new iPad 2 with 24.1, followed by 24.2 cm Touchpad and 24.3 of Motorola Xoom. These data give us a very clear idea of what the tablets are identical to these diagonals.

The thickness is where there are more differences. The overall winner is the iPad 2 of Apple, with its 8.8 mm is left to the head, but the Galaxy Tab 10.1 is not very far with its 10.9 mm thick and less stylized and we have to Xoom and the touch pad to be above 13 mm. The weight is also fairly evenly between the Galaxy iPad 2 and Tab.

In this case wins Samsung tablet with 599 grams of the WiFi version, two less than the Apple tablet. Motorola model goes to 725 grams and the heaviest is the HP TouchPad with 740 grams. The 2011 would be the year of the dual core, it was found yesterday. The four tablets that you are comparing to adjust their chips than by power.

All of them have dual core processors at 1 GHz (less than 1.2 Ghz SnapDragon TouchPad) and bet enough RAM, 1 GB for all but the iPad 2, but Apple has no official data, should be 512 MB. The internal memory really is something that varies from one to another tablet, and models are 16 and 32 GB for the most part, although there are tablets that only offer one size and others who do not reach up to 64 GB of IPAD 2.

Of these tablets, only those who bet on Android, that is, Xoom and the Galaxy Tab, allow us to expand your memory with microSD cards. Right in 2011, the 3G connectivity is more than important. All of the comparative tablets bet on a 3G version but in the case of Xoom and the TouchPad, and have thought his way to the future 4G networks.

All other aspects of their connectivity go hand in hand, type-n Wi-Fi in all, bluetooth, sensors (accelerometer and gyroscope in all) and cameras everywhere. HP TouchPad least only have the 1.3-megapixel front, the rest of tablets placed in both the front and rear their cameras, with the option of recording video in high definition, although the most complete is that of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 with its 8-megapixel sensor, LED flash and video capabilities to 1080p.

The battery will be a vital field in this review. The iPad promises 10 hours with his 25-Wh, while both the TouchPad and the Galaxy Tab include models of around 24 Wh that would give us about 8 hours of autonomy in their cases. The Xoom Motorola promises 10 hours of video playback. Already in the post title that you proposed to look for differences between the 10-inch tablets highlights of this 2011.

Surely you have not found many, because in the hardware, equality is the general tone. If we rely only on these data, the choice of one model or another depends on details such as thickness, design, internal memory and look some more. The speed of response to changes in performance marks of the feature is very fast.

The difference is we have to look for in two key areas: price and operating system. It is curious that finally the Apple iPad 2 is going to be one of the most affordable tablet. The price of them all, some more formal than others, is uneven, and do not think the operating subsidy will be decisive as in mobile phones at least this year.

Indeed the high price they still have the tablets will make its foray into the market is less than what we would like, because after all of this is a major investment in the fund without the tablet comes to replace a laptop most tasks. Another destabilizing factor is the operating system.

In this case Apple part with advantage for its many applications and more importantly, the support of developers. Both WebOS (especially this one) as Android 3.0 still have everything to prove, and even within a year we can not really assess which one (or both or neither) is presented as a serious alternative and safe.

To his credit, counting on the iPad iOS remaining room for improvement that they do have.
