Q. I am planning to buy the one that is better
A. For overall value, there is another tablet that you don't mention: The ASUS Eee Transformer (TF101) is extremely feature rich for under $400: Android 3.1, 10.1 inch 1280x800 IPS (like iPad, but bigger and higher resolution) display, up to 9 hours of battery life (16 hours if optional dock added), optional ability to dock with keyboard, 1 GHz Tegra 250 ARM CPU with 1 GB RAM, good array of ports (mini HDMI, SD, micro SD), etc. Note, though, no 3G (however people report success in tethering it to smart phones).
If you are set on the Galaxy Tab or iPad 2...
The Galaxy Tab 10.1 (1.25 lbs) is the lightest of the big-screen tablets and is the thinnest overall. Like with the iPad, however, thinness comes at the expense of SD, USB, and HDMI ports: Tab and iPad have none. Choose the Galaxy Tab over iPad if you love it's light weight and thinness but want an Android tablet rather than an iOS (iPad) tablet.
iPad 2 Advantages:
IPads have a higher degree of fit-and-finish than the competition. Like iPhones vs other smart phones, iPods vs other MP3 players, or Macs vs PC's, iPads are widely regarded as being more refined and polished than the competition.
iPad 2 Disadvantages:
1. No Flash.
2. No SD expansion; no HDMI port; no USB port.
3. ASUS Eee Transformer has a better display (10.1 inch, 1280x800, IPS vs 9.7 inch, 1024x768, IPS) for less money.
4. PlayBook and G-Slate have better rear camera video recording (1080p vs 720p).
5. PlayBook has much better front camera video recording (1080p vs VGA).
6. Almost all tablets have better camera resolution than iPad's lousy 0.7 MP.
From your view, which is best: Blackberry Playbook, IPAD and Samsung Galaxy?
Q. Considering the features of these devices, which is the best to buy.. and what are the differences on their features. In fact what makes one superior than the other?
A. Galaxy Tab 10.1 vs Apple iPad 2:
The Galaxy Tab 10.1 is the lightest (1.25 lbs) of the big-screen tablets and is the thinnest (0.336 inches) overall. Like with the iPad, however, thinness comes at the expense of SD, USB, and HDMI ports: Tab and iPad have none. Choose the Galaxy Tab over iPad if you love its light weight and thinness but want an Android tablet rather than an iOS (iPad) tablet. Choose the Tab 10.1 if you (a) prefer its 1280x800 TFT display more than iPad 2's 1024x768 IPS display; (b) want a better rear camera (3 MP) than iPad 2's lousy 0.7 MP camera; (c) believe in Android's more open approach to app development and acquisition; or (d) want Flash, which does not work on iPad 2.
Otherwise, go with the IPad 2, which has a higher degree of fit-and-finish than its competition. Like iPhones vs other smart phones, iPods vs other MP3 players, or Macs vs PC's, iPads are widely regarded as being more refined and polished than other tablets. iPad also has a large and refined App Store (although Android Market is closing the gap).
Don't even consider PlayBook unless you're willing to accept BlackBerry Tablet OS, which is a distant third in third-party apps. If that doesn't bother you...
BlackBerry PlayBook vs Apple iPad 2:
BlackBerry PlayBook Advantages:
3 MP front camera (vs VGA), 5 MP rear camera (vs 0.7 MP), 1080p rear video (vs 720p), 1080p front video (vs VGA), micro HDMI & micro USB ports, Flash support, 0.9 lbs (vs 1.33 lbs)
iPad 2 Advantages:
Display: 9.7 inch, 1024x768 IPS LCD (vs 7 inch, 1024x600 LCD), 10.4hr battery life (vs 7hr batter life), huge apps market.
Another difference: PlayBook is available on Sprint; iPad, on AT&T and Verizon.
Should I get the ipod touch 5 or Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0?
Q. Well, I know that the newest ipod just came out, and it's supposed to have improved and amazing features. But I'm also considering the Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0, because it's supposedly better. Internet, apps, music, youtube, camera, and movies are infinitely important to me Also, is flash not on the ipod? What does this limit me to? Thanks.
A. Dimensions and weight
Apple iPod touch is largely smaller than its Samsung competitor. The Apple product rocks the dimensions of 110 x 58 x 7.1 mm and a weight of just 101 grams. On contrast, Galaxy Player 5.0 has the dimensions of 141.3 x 78.2 x 11.9 mm and it weighs at a hefty 182 grams.
Winner: Apple iPod touch.
Display
As its moniker reveals, Galaxy Player 5 features a 5-inch display at a resolution of 800 x 480 pixels. It is a WVGA TFT LCD that provides better clarity and performance. On the other hand, iPod touch has the same 3.5-inch display of iPhone. As the former Apple CEO Steve Jobs said iPod touch is indeed an âiPhone without contract.â Its display is an aluminosilicate glass-covered LED-backlit LCD with a resolution of 960 x 640 pixels at 326ppi.
Winner: Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0.
Software
Galaxy Player 5.0 is to play on Android 2.3 Gingerbread. It is when Apple has just updated iPod touch with iOS 5, the game changing version of the software. Of course, iOS 5 has more stunning features than Gingerbread. In fact, Androidâs reply to iOS 5 is Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, not Gingerbread.
Winner: Apple iPod touch.
Storage
Galaxy Player 5.0 has only two internal memory options; 8GB and 16GB. Meanwhile, the new generation iPod touch comes with three options; 8GB, 32GB and 64GB. Moreover, iPod touch has iCloud cloud computing integration for additional storage.
Winner: Apple iPod touch.
Camera
Apple has slotted in a 0.7-inch rear camera on iPod touch. It can record video at 1280 x 720 up to 30 frames/s and audio. A 0.3-inch VGA camera is there in the front panel of the device. Samsung Player 5 sports a 3.2-megapixcel camera in the front. However, the device drops a front facing camera for video calls. In difference, iPod touch with FaceTime application will be a better choice for users.
Winner: Apple iPod touch.
Battery life
Battery life of a portable musical device is highly important. People often want to listen to music for long hours. Here Galaxy Player 5.0 outshines iPod touch with Li-Ion 2500mAh that ensures 60 hours audio playback and 8 hours video playback. Apple iPod touch has a Lithium-ion battery that offers only 40 hours audio playback and 7 hours video playback.
Winner: Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0.
Winner
The winner of the comparison is visibly clear. Apple iPod touch is far better than its Samsung competitor under several parameters. A music lover, who doesnât obsessively worship Android, may go for iPod touch for better music experience.
The verdict
Samsung has been creating hypes about its Android music player for a while. The device has now realized with lots of features. We have an Android challenger to iPod touch now. Appleâs domination in portable music industry may be hit with Galaxy Player 5.0âs arrival. Of course, a large part of music lovers will go for Galaxy Player 5.0 instead of iPod touch now.
