Comparing The iPad with Samsung Galaxy Tab

The new iPad failed to deliver the feature that lots of Apple fans were awaiting for: Siri, the computer intelligence with a voice-commanded "personal assistant" in the iPhone 4S. Siri's die-hard followers  hope that the late Steve Jobs will make it available as an applications or in an later operating systems . iPad 3 does have voice controls for emailing, texting or surfing the internet web, although users must tap "done" on the screen to the commands.

The best new features of the new iPad are its high resolution screen and ability to support the new LTE/4G knowledge networks. The "Retina Display" high resolution screen is 2048x1536 pixels and will appeal to game enthusiasts, users who stream movies and video and those who use the device as an eReader. The new iPad's dual-core A5X processor makes gaming  smoother and the film viewing experience richer. The camera has been enhanced with 1080p video, autofocus and face detection. Consumers might have anticipated a higher pricetag for such improved performance but the prices have stayed the same as the earlier iPad: $499 for the 16 GB version, $599 for 32 GB and $699 for 64GB. Like the iPad two, the new iPad is available in black and white.The size of the iPad 3 is the same as the iPad 2 which means most of the iPad 2 cases should fit the new iPad. So how exactly does the new iPad compare to the Samsung Galaxy Tab the most regarded Android tablet? 

The new iPad 

The Samsung Galaxy Tab is also available with 16, 32 or 64 GB of storage and is priced at about fifty bucks less expsensive than the new iPad. Both tablets have a maximum battery life of 9 to 10 hours. The Galaxy Tab's three mega pixel back camera, two mega pixel front camera and 720p video capability don't hold a candle to the new iPad's five mega pixel camera and HD video.

The area where the Samsung Galaxy Tab has the advantage over the iPad is in functionality for business users. Because the giant majority of often used business application and file types are built around the Windows operating process, iPad owners will need a remote desktop app in order to access work related files and programs. The Galaxy Tab is compatible with the Microsoft Office suite of programs, making it the more sensible choice for individuals who need a tablet for business use. The Samsung tablet is as well as a popular eReader and, like the iPad, will run the popular Kindle app.

The choice between the new iPad or the Samsung Galaxy Tab largely comes down to the user's preference as to operating process and whether the device is to be used primarily for trading , video and web searching or as a business tablet. The new iPad, however, is clearly superior in terms of technical performance with its superior screen resolution, camera and 4G capability.
