Unveiled on March 2, the iPad 2 features many improvements over its older brethren. However, it remains to be seen if these improvements will be enough to keep Apple’s share  of the tablet PC market intact. Back in 2010, the first iPad was a major success with a global sales around 14.8 million items. The original iPad was so successful with the estimated of 75% of the tablet PC market are owned by Apple.

The iPad’s commercial success, has attracted a lot of competitors on the tablet PC market. With so many companies joining the tablet bandwagon and offering their version of the iPad killer, many are eager to see how the iPad 2 are going to compete against an improved competitor.

We made a review, a head to head comparison between Motorola Xoom that are considered to be the strongest competitor and iPad 2.

1. Processor

The iPad 2 is fitted with Apple’s dual-core 1GHz A5 chip, a marked improvement from the previous iPad. The A5 chip claimed to be 10 times better graphical performance than the old iPad. As of this writing, there is no report yet on RAM size but 512MB is quite a possibility.

Motorola Xoom are build with a 1GHz dual-core Tegra 2 CPU. At 1GB of RAM, this chip along with the Android 3.0 OS affords the Xoom to multi-task effortlessly.

Advantage – Xoom

2. Display

The iPad 2 has the same 9.7-inch backlit-LED IPS display that are similar to iPad 1, it’s fantastic because it’s the best in it’s class.

The Xoom has a standard 10.1-inch TFT display. Excellent for watching movies and browsing but does not offer the types of viewing angles we are accustomed to in the iPad.

In recent years, Apple has stunned users and flustered the technology world with one sensational masterpiece after another.  First it was the iPod, then the iPhone, and then the iPod Touch.  Will Apple once again captivate the attention of the American public with its newest device?  The revolutionary 1/2 inch thick iPad with its 10-inch crystal-clear display has the potential to transform technology and enhance the entertainment world.

Here are the top 10 questions about Apple’s latest gizmo:

*1-  What is the iPad?

The iPad is basically an big iPhone with new and improved features.  The main upgrade on the iPad is its terrific 9.7 inch high resolution screen.  Movies, TV shows, pictures and video podcasts all look great on the terrific HD display.  Small, pocket-size iPod displays are convenient, but watching movies on a tiny screen can be extremely frustrating.

* 2-  Why do I want an iPad?

Apple’s iPad home page gives the #1 reason, “All of the built in apps on the iPad were designed from the ground up to take advantage of the large Multi-Touch screen and advanced capabilities of iPad.  And they work in any orientation.  So you can do things with these apps that you can’t do on any other device.”

Also, if you’re used to viewing movies, TV shows and photos on an iPod, iPod Touch or iPhone, the crystal-clear iPad screen will knock your socks off.  It’s a convenient, spotless, high-definition display; a major upgrade over any iPod.  Other tablets on the market have great features too, but the top-notch apps built for the iPad set this device apart.  It can also run most of the 150,000+ apps that work on the iPhone, giving users additional options.

Initially I had wanted an Amazon Kindle, not any old Kindle, I wanted the gusto in gadgets, I wanted the newest model, the largest model, and I wanted it to be in color. Sadly my search led me to blog after blog stating this desire of mine would not be ready till 2012, and that was just a guess.

I decided to check out the Nook, and from what I discovered VIA user reviews, the Nook was too new, and too lacking for me to even bother with.

That was when I got around to thinking about an Apple iPad. I didn’t need the latest and greatest, so I decided on the simple intro model, the 9 model containing 16GB of storage, and wifi. Just what I would need to download the Kindle APP and get busily reading on my new iPad. I had no idea just how addicting this device would be, and how much more I could do with it besides just catch up on a few books here and there. In fact I love the Apple iPad so much, that I imagine I will become one of those annoying Apple fan-boys that has to have all of the newest releases from Apple.

Why?

Well my friends, the best answer is simplicity.

I have never owned anything from Apple before. In fact I still prefer my PC for major workloads, but seriously when I am flopped in bed, and too lazy to hunker down in front of the PC I am grateful to have the iPad. For starters the device is small, and lightweight. Some have complained about the weight, but not once have I become affected by it, and this is coming from someone who has been toting the thing around religiously for days now.  Read more...
