Apple iPad vs Samsung Galaxy Tab<br />
14 KOREA <strong>IT</strong> TIMES | December 2010<br />
Many experience the same dilemma when trying to update their latest technology<br />
needs. Since the Samsung Galaxy Tab was introduced this month, the<br />
options for slick, thin, and highly portable computing devices has grown passed<br />
just the Apple iPad. However, there are distinct differences between these two<br />
that could greatly impact user experience. It is not as simple as a change in<br />
memory capacity or any of the basic specifications.<br />
First, the most obvious difference is the size of the iPad and the Galaxy Tab.<br />
The Galaxy Tab is slightly smaller than the iPad; the Tab has a mere 7 inch display<br />
screen and the iPad has a whopping 10 inch display. If looking for a system<br />
that is on-the-go and small enough to fit into a pocket, the Samsung's Galaxy<br />
Tab is an obvious pick. Although, a larger display would be preferred by those<br />
who watch movies, so the iPad would be the best pick in this respect.<br />
For the picture and video-creating lovers, there is no question that the Galaxy<br />
Tab is the right choice. Equipped with two cameras, facing forward and backward,<br />
the user is able to engage in video chatting and also take pictures using either<br />
of the cameras. Unfortunately, the iPad is not equipped with a camera, so<br />
for those who need to have a camera, the Galaxy Tab is a must.<br />
Ever have the urge to multi-task? The Galaxy Tab gives the user the ability to<br />
run multiple programs simultaneously with its Android operating system that<br />
gives access to large amount of apps. However, it is rumored that this significantly<br />
slows down the speed. Right now, the iPad is not capable of this, but<br />
Apple has promised to make an upgrade in software to accommodate its users'<br />
demands. Although the Galaxy Tab has this ability, most technology lovers enjoy<br />
the software on the iPad more.<br />
The competition between Samsung and Apple is high; the availability of features<br />
and the reduction in price will be a result as new versions come out. Give<br />
