Apple iPad 2 vs Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1V



Here the main specs of  Apple iPad 2 and Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1V. iPad dominated the tablet market since its launch, but what about the Android-powered tablets, we think it is fair to compare the Ipad 2 with a good Android tablet.






Apple iPad 2
Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1

Ipad 2 has a VGA(0.3 megapixel) front camera and a 0.7 megapixel rear camera.

Has powerful dual speakers.

No SD card slot.
The plastic seems and feels less solid than the iPad 2.

If the Android Market gets richer with more applications the Galaxy tab will definitely be the winner in the next round.
