Hi,

I am back for my second post on my blog!

I was doing some of the casual browsing I usually do on the internet and I found the new Samsung tablet PC.

I was shocked!

A tablet to compete with the iPad? No, it cannot be.

But it was true, the galaxy really has something to beat here and i am sure that many other companies have tablets in the works.

We know Toshiba are, not too sure about HP and there might be a new 'chrome' based tablet.

It is all very exciting.

What I have now is a small comparison of the two devices.

Apple iPad vs. Samsung P1000 Galaxy Tab

First things first, the name.

Who wants to say "Hey man, I've got the new Tab!"

I would probably respond by asking if he has a new browser or something.

For the name, I have to choose the iPad.

Processors:

Apple iPad : Custom A4 processor

Samsung Tab : ARM Cortex A8 1 Ghz

Draw

Screen:

Apple iPad: Capacitive touchscreen, 768 x 1024 pixels, 9.7"

Samsung Tab: Capacitive touchscreen, 16M colours 600 x 1024 pixels, 7.0"

I have to say the bigger screen has to be better. The Apple screens are magic as well. I would say the iPad takes this one away.

Disk Space:

This is very important, if you are going to have something bigger around, you are going to expect to have some substantial memory.

Apple iPad : up to 64Gb

Samsung Tab: up to 32Gb + MicroSD slot.

Samsung Tab takes it away with the MicroSD slot. Having expandable storage always wins.

Connectivity:

Apple iPad: Wireless a/b/g/n

Samsung Tab: Wireless b/g/n, 3G connectivity, USB

Samsung takes this one away!

Cameras: 

Apple iPad: No

Samsung Tab: Yes, 1.3Mp

Samsung also wins this one.

Battery Life:

Apple iPad: 9 hours

Samsung Tab: 8 hours:

Apple iPad wins, but not by much!

Applications:

Apple iPad: The App store, the iPad has access to all the apps in the store so already it is a hugely diverse peice of equipment.

Samsung Tab: The Adroid market on the other hand, is growing quickly, but still cannot match the app store for variety.

End Result:

Apple iPad: 3/8

Samsung Tab: 5/8

OK, there are a lot of things that i have missed out, and i am sorry if you guys didn't think this was up to scratch.
