Few days back we compared Apple iPad 1 and Samsung Galaxy Tab to find out the best option in tablet PC. Since Apple iPad 2 is launched few days back and recently Motorola has also come up in the tablet PC market with XOOM running on Android 3 OS.
Here we are comparing features of these tablets to find out the best one in the current market.
| Specifications | Apple iPad 2 |
Motorola XOOM | Conclusion |
| Screen Size | 9.7-inch LED | 10.1-inch screen | Screen size is almost similar |
| Screen Resolution | 1024×768 pixels | 1280 x 800 pixels | Motorola XOOM has better resolution than Apple iPad2 |
| Operating System | iOS 4 | Android 3.0, called Honeycomb | We can’t compare both the OS, each one of these have their own pros and cons. |
| Memory | 16-64GB | 32 GB | iPad 2 provides more options with memory |
