And the winner is....

Being a techno geek and loving all things technology, ive decided that i would compare the Apple Ipad 2 vs. The Motorola Xoom.  To start things off im going to look at every aspect of the Motorola Xoom.

The Motorola Xoom is the biggest threat to Apples throne, but how big of threat is it? Well, the Xoom has a 10.1 inch screen with 1280x800 screen resolution. It runs the Android Honeycomb 3.0 which is highly customizable which makes it highly valued. It has two 1 GHz Daul processors, and a rear facing and front facing camera. Now the Xoom only comes in one color and that is black. Also, it only comes in 32 GB with an SD slot to allow it to have more memory. The price for this fun little gadget is set at $800. We all know that everything has a downfall though, since the android software is a bit new it doesnt have that many apps and who knows when the apps would be developed, if they would ever be developed. For all the specs of the Xoom and can see them here http://www.androidtablets.net/forum/motorola-tablets/5267-motorola-xoom-specs.html


Now this pretty little thing on the left is the current holder of the throne in the tablet market. The Ipad 2 was just recently released on March 11 of this year is the biggest pad on the market. Though tons of people are skeptical to buy it not knowing what the difference is from the first Ipad to the newer one. Well, the newest Ipad has a 1GHz dual-core A5 CPU, it has 512 MB of RAM and is thinner than the first Ipad. Now thats not all thats different, the new Ipad also has a front and rear facing camera and has HD capability. The screen is smaller than the Xoom's with a 9.7 LED screen, it runs the IOS  4.3 which isnt as customizable as the android honeycomb is but its more developed. The Ipad 2 can come in two colors black, which was the color of the original or white, which is a new color they have added. Also Apple decided to stick with the 16, 32 and 64 GB for the size of the Ipads. So the price range can be less or more than the Xoom.

  1. As a fellow geek, I can appreciate this post. As a Prof, the writing errors draw my attention away from what you are trying to say.
