Apple iPad 2, no doubt, is the king of all the Tablets in the present market. However, there are a few other tablets that are raising their significance with additional features that Apple iPad 2 doesn’t have. Some of them are…
- Motorola Xoom : A 10.1″ tablet that runs on Android 3.0 (Honeycomb) operating system is the top competitor of iPad 2. With Nividia Tegrs 2 duo-core 1GHz processor, it facilitates the user with fast accessing of applications. Motorola Xoom has two camera, front (2MP) and Rear (5MP). The most attracting feature is that, unlike iPad and iPad 2, Xoom supports SD Card which is to be appreciated. It costs around $799.
- Samsung TX100 : Samsung, which is well known for its android mobiles, is the next competitor of iPad 2. Samsung has launched a new 10.1″ tablet “TX100″ with QWERTY keyboard which slides out from bottom (you don’t need to buy an extra keyboard case like with iPad 2). Interestingly, the TX100 is powered by Windows 7 Phone OS. The Samsung TX 100 comes at an affordable price of $700 (single version)
- Blackberry PlayBook : Blackberry is number one in terms of Smartphones and now it entered the tablet market with its new “Blackberry PlayBook”. It is a 7″ touch screen with thickness of 10mm and supports 4G technology. There is no doubt that it stands top among the competitors of iPad 2 with its exciting features. It costs around $699.
- LifeBook T730 Tablet PC : LifeBook is a 12.1″ tablet that runs on Windows 7 operating system with 2GB RAM and Atom Z670 processor. It has a dual-mode (convertible to either PC mode or Tablet mode). With this unique functionality, the cost will obviously be higher ($1200).
- Toshiba Tablet : Toshiba is one of the most recognizable brands when it comes to Laptops. However, Toshiba is now keen in marketing its latest tablet in to the market. The Toshiba tablet is an android based tablet with 10″ touch screen and rugged surface. It runs on Android 3.0 operating system. Toshiba states that “the features provided by it will definitely attract the users”, which is true. It costs around $580.
