 Now, we all are excited to find out the results, so let's take a look at a closer zoom-in on the tabs:
Zoom-in

iPad (original):


Pros: A sleek, thin device which has many of the same features as the iPod touch, in a larger, easier-to-see slate, which helps many people with their daily life, and helps with travel

Cons: Even though Apple CEO Steve Jobs considers it 'a magical and revolutionary device' not all people think that. Even though it's 'easy to see' many people consider it too big and over priced, for an "over-sized iPod touch"


iPad 2:

Pros: The new iPad 2 is a device that takes advantage of all of the great features the original iPad has to offer.

The iPad also offers more comfort by it's size, design, and it's new accessories.
The new iPad now works with an HDMI adapter, which is for sale from Apple at $39.00 ($69.00 for the leather version) which allows you to connect your iPad to a HD TV and it will "mirror" what the iPad is currently doing.

































Another popular accessory for the iPad 2 is Apple's new Smart Cover.
The smart cover, as Apple refers to is "One great idea on top of another". One of the other things that we thought fit into the "cons" are for the original iPad, was that unlike a laptop, which has a folding top, the iPad is big and could easily slip out of your hand, and break. In 2010, Apple did have a cover for their original iPad, but it made it too heavy, and "bulgy". Apple thought and thought. The Smart Cover was their idea...

The Smart Logics on the Smart Cover:

Well here's the deal to the Smart Cover. People thought "Well how can a cover be smart?" They were confused...

The smartness in the Smart Cover is that it can be used for many things, and has a new effect on the product (The "other" great idea) itself. These are all of the Smart Cover's benefits:

  • A cover for your iPad
  • Light
  • Thin
  • Magnetic
  • FaceTime Stand
  • Keyboard Stand (For easy and comfortable typing)
  • Smart cover opens, iPad wakes up. Smart Cover covers iPad, iPad goes back to sleep.
  • No assembly required.
  • Does not cover the "Apple logo" on the back
  • Available in Leather
Oh, well... At least to Apple it sounds Smart...

Think it's smart? Have an iPad? Buy it here from Amazon:














Now, The iPad patriots think the iPad is spotless. They are "blind" to the bad parts of it. However, The iPad is not spotless not even close...

The Problem with Tablets (The Overall Cons):

No Tablet is spotless. Not the iPad. Not the XOOM. Not the Galaxy Tab. Each Tablet is special in its' own ways. Here is a brief comparison on what is famous about each tablet:

TABLET & THEIR GOOD STUFF:

iPad: Operating System, Design, Apps, Popularity, Brand, Quality Graphics,          Hadrdrive
XOOM: Camera, Customization, Widgets, Size, Performance
Galaxy Tab: Portability, Design, Battery life, Convenience
Galaxy Tab 2: Style & look, optimization, Quality, Performance
Playbook: Size, Screen Resolution (Display), Performance, 4G & 3G internet
Tablet PC: PC-like features, performance, Windows 7 OS


And now, the Not so good part of Tablets featured in:

TABLETS & THEIR (NOT SO) GOOD STUFF:

iPad: Camera, Screen Resolution, Customization (Widgets) Adobe Flash (will never be supported by Apple)
XOOM: Ease of Use, Apps, Operating System, Design
Galaxy Tab: Camera & performance could be better!
Galaxy Tab 2: (So far so good!...)
Playbook: This is the only tablet on the market that is good for anyone who hates E-mail, web browsing, videos, apps, games, and photos...
Tablet PC:  Let's just say this... Every tablet PC is rotten in its' own special way... (To learn about Tablet PCs, visit Microsoft's website by Clicking Here)


The Ugly Truth on Tablets:

It's hard to decide what tablet is the best. A tablet is based on a specific person's needs. However, let's go through some of the worst tablets:

The worst tablets in the world are tablets that imitate or copy tablets like the iPad and sell them under a different name, at a cheaper price.

Here are a few examples:




Both of these "poor quality" tablets above are the tablet known as Super Pad. Super Pad is a cheap, but horrible replica of the iPad. It is available on Amazon for $220-- roughly a 8GB 4th Gen iPod touch before taxes. This tablet's best highest price is $20. Most people, especially patriots  of the iPad would save up until they could buy the best, most expensive, iPad with all of the latest features and accessories. If somebody offered it to them for free, they would bother even spending time answering, they would keep on saving, until one day, they bought an iPad.

 There's Just One More Thing Before You Go...


Remember, when it comes to tablets, or personal computers, Be as picky as you need to be. And just because you see a cheap tablet-- don't waste your money. Save up for what you truly want...

Also...

Lady Gaga Released her new album last Monday. We thought it would make your tablet's (or iPod's or iPhone's or your computer's) music library better than it already is. Times 10.

With new features such as FaceTime Video Calling, Retina Display, HD video Recording, a 3 axis gyroscope, iOS 4.1 (iOS 4.2.1 is the current version of apple's OS) and so ever. All these features must lead to cons of other leading features that were successful on the previous iPod touches. You've probably herd of the iPod touch 4th, but you haven't REALLY thought about how these features may be "Pathetic" So in this article, You'll see iPod touch Face to Face in the combat of all battles-- is it REALLY worth to upgrade your old iPod touch to this one???

A couple months ago (In September) Apple announced the next line up of iPods for the coming holiday season and most notable was the next iPod touch. The new iPod touch (4th generation) is better in a lot of things as compared to its predecessor (3rd Generation) like the same Retina display which now shines on the new iPhone 4, A4 chip, HD camera, face time and improved preformance. Also with the introduction of iOS 4.1 the device will have lots of improvements and added features deep inside, the most important of that is the Game Center.
