www.pcworld.com In the market for a tablet? We take a look at the comparative strengths of the Motorola Xoom, Apple iPad 2, and Samsung Galaxy Tab. Video Rating: 3 / 5
The Xoom all the way, iPad 2 lacks support for SD card & built-in HDMI. Xoom has all that. If you love crystal clear HD videos from YouTube or any streaming service buy the iPad 2 for everything else buy the Xoom or Galaxy 10.1.
@metroidM1A1 Also the gpu has multi-thread capabilities on the iPad 2, this means that just recent Intel processors and most of recent Ati/Amd and Nvidia graphics cards, it can “divide” so to speak it’s cores on to multiple tasks. I’m sorry I said 2-4 cores, I was wrong, it has 2 cores with multi-thread, similar to what an i5 or i7 chip from intel does, this is why apple claims to have achieved 9 times performance increase.
@metroidM1A1 I’m sorry, I believe there must be some misunderstanding going on… The A5 processor is underclocked at 900mhz absolutely true, but Apple has enabled the software to go up to it’s real capacity at 1ghz if required by applications running, this is so to reduce power drain. It is also true that it is enabled to underclock even more to save even more battery when it’s not needed.
The iPad can infact play 720p video, it is stated on Apple’s website and I have a few videos in 720p
@tonenajjar first of all the a5 runs at 900 mhz not 1 ghz…look it up.. the ipad cannot playback 720p video only 480p and 547 p. and its gpu is dual core….not quad by anyt means…gather some real facts next time.. k?
@metroidM1A1 I’m sorry but I believe you got a few facts wrong.
The ipad 2 can actually play 720p 30fps with Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound. and can output 1080p to an hd screen.
Also it has a dual core 1ghz processor, The Apple A5. And a 2-4 cores graphical processing unit with next gen mobile graphics.
obviously the camera and display resolution are better on the samsung, but can still say owning both that I prefer ipad 2 display, its bigger and it’s got more accurate color management.
iPad2 is the fin shit…iOS5 is gonna was Xoom’s gay ass…I dnt ride Apple’s jock but the shit works like nothing else. Both my boys have a Xoom and a Galaxy Tab and the shit gets boring after just web browsing and music. My iPad2 is equipped with so much shit to do that they always asking to use it. Of course I reject them cause I don’t want other tablet touching fingers on my shit so they gotta get their own….
@taypuc31 same amount of games on both… but since android allows u to download straight from there web site witch ios does not… its better… dual access… better than single… also sgs 2 allows u to record, display on hd tv, and play back on the screen full 1080p video at 30 fps….. the ipad 2 can only play 540p…. just give up… whats better is better… of cource a 1200 mhz dual core processor made by samsung will be better thn a 900 mhz processor made by apple…..
