Samsung Galaxy Tab vs Apple iPad vs Toshiba Folio 100

2010-09-06
hey guys so today I'm here with an overview of three of the top tablets for 2010 so starting out there of course is going to be the apple ipad which has been a tremendous success for Apple you know they've sold millions and millions and millions of them and people really tend to like the iPad it's been probably the first really commercially successful tablet and quite some time on Ben addition there are two other tablets that very well could challenge it so starting out there's a gown samsung galaxy tab which is looking to be the premier android tablet once it's released later on in addition there's also the toshiba folio 100 which looks to go ahead and bypass a lot of the standard sort of specs paw of a tablet and it'll go for outright speed go ahead and be able to do high definition video playback all the kind of stuff that you would expect to do on such a multimedia platform I want any of you guys an overview of each of the three and can't tell you my thoughts my opinions on them all to begin with let's take a look at the samsung galaxy tab so the galaxy tab there's a lot of things with the samsung galaxy has smartphone Maya which definitely is not a bad thing so this means that they will of course run Android is actually going to be the latest 2.2 and it'll also carry over several of the main hardware features including the arm cortex a8 processor which is called 2 1 gigahertz this is very similar to the ipad which of course is heavily based off of the iphone so that definitely is good news for the galaxy tab in addition the galaxy tab also uses a 7-inch screen which is considerably smaller than the 9 inch screen in the ipad now for some people the 9 inch screen actually might be an advantage but for me I think the seven inches is about the sweet spot for a tablet you know it actually it's not really all that large because even though an iPad is very very thin it almost takes about the same room as a laptop or a netbook it does take up a considerable amount of room whereas the galaxy tab coming in at only seven inches should be a decent bit smaller should be a lot easier to carry you know it won't be such a big deal you know they have to go ahead and carry it around although of course both these tablets are very small very fat very light but when you're talking about a tablet every ounce and every little bit of weight and height and all that kind of stuff definitely does matter so the specs including it has a 7-inch super TFT display with a resolution of for x 600 in addition it also does have 16 gigabytes of storage built in and you can go ahead and plug in up to a 32 gigabyte microSD card to go and expand that out now some of the interesting things about the galaxy that the ipad lights it actually does have a 1.3 megapixel front facing camera for video chat which is a definitely a big deal as of course the ipad really does lack all of that i really like the galaxy tab I think it's got a lot of potential and especially miss because it does run Android it's going to be one of the first real Android tablets we've seen so of course the galaxy tab will be available with 3g just like the ipad go over a difference between the galaxy tab is it likely will be subsidized basically what this means is that you can go ahead and go to quite a few different carriers go ahead and buy a 3g plan and actually it will cut the price considerably down on the galaxy tab square it in the united states the ipad starts with about 500 we've heard that the galaxy tab will plug coming in at more closer to two to three hundred dollars with a carrier subsidy that stuff like good news if you're looking to get into a tablet and you do want 3g definitely go ahead and be able to get the best of both worlds now let's go ahead and take a look at the toshiba folio 100 so the folio 100 does have some similarities to the samsung galaxy tab namely the fact that they both to run android 2.2 however it does differ from its competitors in one big area which is screen size so the folio 100 has a 10.1 inch display which is much larger than this competitors now like I was saying with the Samsung Galaxy Tab a 7-inch display is personally for me I think it's really good however for depending on how to use it a 10 min just what also could come freely in handy so basically some of the uses of a 10-inch display would be no such watch a lot of movies a lot of extra web browsing especially if it's not really going to be very very portable if you're not going to be taking it with you everywhere so the specs include it has that 10.1 inch display with a resolution of 1024 x 600 it has 16 gigabytes of storage built in and it runs the nvidia tegra 2 chipset so what this means that it should be very very fast for web browsing and pretty much anything you do so that's definitely a really good thing some of the other features include us have I again a 1.3 megapixel front-facing camera it also has an HDMI out port and of course it does have support for an SD card which is definitely really nice is instead of having oh maybe I micro SD you can actually go ahead and put all your camera memory cards and everything like that which should definitely be a next feature the folio 100 definitely looks like a very competent android tablet it has a lot going forward with a Porsche android 2.2 it's going to go ahead and have that big 10.1 inch display it does have some really kind of interesting things such as an hdmi port as well as support for full-size SD cards now let's go ahead and take a look the Apple iPad now this is a tablet most of you are probably familiar with and what is your aren't I just go ahead just give you an overview of it anyway so the iPad it runs the iOS 3.2 currently which is very similar to what you would find on maybe your iPhone your ipod touch although of course much much larger so some of those features of the ipad included it does have quite a few different varieties you can get it with 16 gigabytes 32 gigabytes or 64 gigabytes of storage as well as you can get with just Wi-Fi or you can also get it with Wi-Fi with 3g some of the specs included that's have a 9.7 inch led-backlit display with a resolution of 1024 x 768 like I said it does come in 16 32 and 64 gigabyte capacities and does run the Apple a 4 1 gigahertz processor now the iPad does run iOS I mean Justin over the next couple months it will be upgraded to 4.0 or arrived at 4.2 which should bring a lot of new features including multitasking etc etc the ipad is unguided lee the king of the segment right now there's really nothing available that can really challenge it so if you're looking to buy a tablet today the iPads probably what you want to go for however once the other two android tablets do come out later in the year then definitely the ipad definitely will have some competition but of course i'm still not so sure if anything can immediately unseat the ipad of course it does have that really nice form factor everyone already knows it it has access to the enormous Apple App Store and it's just such a great experience everything is super super fast very very responsive so the ipad is definitely a really hard package should be hey guys i'm really curious to know what are you thinking what tablets are you really looking forward to buying or looking at or whatever definitely leave
