Compare Apple New iPad (iPad 3) and Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1
Apple has finally launched the new ipad on 8th march 2012. However potential buyers would like to know the pros and cons of iPad and how it compares to other tablets available in the market. In this context I have compared the new iPad with another new coming tablet from Samsung- the Samsung galaxy tab 10.1.
Since the new iPad has been launched, people are debating over its features. No doubt it has a great looking screen and a faster processor; but it was not upto the expectations of people who imagined great new features like infrared keyboard or gesture control. The new iPad is rather a step forward in terms of iPad development than a giant leap. Nevertheless the iPad has managed to grab some eyeballs with the 2048 x 1536 resolution screen which is believed to be better than any other screen including your HD Television. The Samsung Galaxy note 10.1 on the other hand tempts the potential digital painters with the S Pen which can be used for some serious sketching and painting on the new Samsung galaxy note. Let us now compare the two tablets to check which of them will better suit you.
