Samsung Galaxy Tab has already created enough hype around gadget market. The price is the main barrier but I will be comparing it to a tablet which is in the same price range but now available in India- This is Apple iPad. iPad is very best of apple devices and taken enough share of Laptops in the European and American markets. But still not launched in India: not officially but you can get iPad in the brown market ranging from Rs 38000 to Rs 58000. But you can get an iPad serviced in India. Samsung galaxy Tab is available officially at Rs 36000. I will be evaluating the other advantages of Tab over iPad. You can check the detailed features of Samsung Galaxy Tab here.
Advantages of Samsung Galaxy Tab vs iPad
- Samsung Galaxy Tab is more Portable then iPad – with a 7” screen Samsung Galaxy Tab can be kept in pocket but Apple iPad has a 10” large display size.
- The best feature is that Samsung Galaxy Tab supports multi-tasking –right now iPad do not support multi-tasking
- Tab has dual Cameras 3.2 Mp in rear and a 1.3MP in front for video call, iPad does not have camera
- Samsung Galaxy Tab can be used as a phone whereas iPad cannot.
- Tab has latest Bluetooth v3 module , iPad supports v2.1 only
- Samsung Galaxy Tab is lighter (380gm) due to smaller screen size, iPad is 1.26kg (heavy to carry with one hand)
- Samsung Galaxy Tab is officially launched in India (so service is available) but iPad is not officially launched in India, but there is other sources e.g. ebay or grey markets .
There are some disadvantages also but for me they are not so important. Tab has smaller screen size and you will miss Apple iPad’s user interface and there are lot of apps for iPad but Android market need some time to get enriched. Right now, if you look for iPad it will cost you Rs 58000. But you can get Galaxy Tab for Rs 36000. If you do not have such amount there are other options like OlivePad.
