After reading many reviews from many developers producing many different tablets. Without any bias regards to apple product (most of us here owns iphone/ipod/ipad already), here are a few tablets that I am considering in the near future: 1. iPad 2 2. Motorola Xoom 3. Samsung 9 series (with slide out keyboard) 4. Blackberry Playbook For Motorla Xoom, seems like Andriod 3.0 (Honeycomb) is very powerful and looks nice, consider I already own an iphone 4, any apps that exist outside of app store (andriod market place) might be an advantage for me. Specs for xoom is powerful as well. Samsung 9 Series, I like the idea with physical keyboard, though it's running window 7, I donno how much impact would this be for a tablet with multiple touch requirement. Blackberry Playbook, multitasking on this one is VERY powerful, i might say this is a true multitasking device. iPad2, it might not interest me unless it has retina display, and/or usb for external plug-in (such as keyboard), though it also depends on competitors, how superior are they compare to ipad 2. Any suggestions will be appreciated!
I'm going to have to say wait for some reviews before making any rash decisions. A lot of those tablets do look tantalizing, but the iPad 2 hasn't exactly been announced yet, the Playbook looks nice but still too early to tell (reported battery issues), and the Xoom also looks nice but again, too early too tell. Same goes for Samsung 9. Waiting would be the best thing for now. Although I must say the Samsung 9 looks to be the most tempting out of the 4.
Xoom is the only one that is any good. Samsung one is a joke because it's running an OS built for a smartphone.
Just how bad is window 7 compare to andriod and iOS regards for tablet usage? what are the limitation?
Everything. Windows 7 has less features and fewer games than iOS but isn't any easier to use. If you want the most freedom, just go with Android.
iOS has more games? window has been having LOTS of game title since 20 years ago, all that adds up couldn't be less than iOS appstore right? Unless the tablet window 7 can't run any normal PC games.
There was a chart that said that iOS has more games than every other console combined, but it didn't count flash games. Most flash games would still need a mouse, though. And I really wouldn't want to play a console/PC game on a tablet. Battery life would be awful and the game wouldn't be optimized at all for touch. Plus Windows 7 itself is considered a joke of an OS for tablets because it's barely optimized for touch. If all you care about is games, then you want a laptop.
I have been having fun playing games on my iphone 4. In fact, sometime I play more iphone 4 games than PC/xbox360. So the potential for i device to be gaming machine is there. despite lack of controller, some of the game really did implement the controlling scheme well. However, sometimes I do hope that I can play some older games, such as Transportation Tycoon (which app store took it away and now it's no where to be found even jailbrokened).
