Elegant Design - iPad 2 WIN
Many are not satisfied with the material for Tab 10.1 made of plastic. While the iPad 2 uses aluminum material that is claimed to more elegant. But I think the fabric is not visible tabs 10.1 cheap, gray bandage on the back side with a white design makes this tablet is quite elegant.
Although iPad 2 looks more elegant, but with material like aluminum that even a little afraid to use it without additional casing bandage. Aluminum from the iPad product is indeed susceptible dent so it must be extra careful using.
Speaker - Tab 10.1 WIN
iPad 2 equipped with a speaker that extra large when compared with the first version. While there are 2 speakers tab on the right 10.1 and left. If all this I try, the speaker of the Tab 1.10 better than the iPad 2. Moreover, the placement of the left and right plus features to make the Tab 10.1 5.1 surround more lively to listen to music and video.
Multimedia - Tab 10.1 WIN
Video Playback

Matter of speed, to its 2 have nearly the same speed. Tab 10.1 On the tab went pretty smoothly when opening flash games at FB or Viwawa. It can not run well on the first generation tab.
Video Call - DRAW
- iPad 2: Facetime, Wifi Only
- Tab 10.1: Gtalk, 3G & WiFi
Facetime iPad 2 has a perfect application. Facetime on the iPad has an excellent level of stability, is not interrupted even if you open another application. It seems that Apple is intentionally making Facetime is always running in the background. But for opponents, you must have an iPad 2, 4 iPhone, iPod Touch 4 or a Facetime installed on your Macbook, it must pay for a Facetime Appstorenya. Moreover Facetime have to use Wifi to connect video calls and does not run when using 3G.
While Tab 10.1 Gtalk as an application relying Video call. Same with facetime, video call with gtalk is always running in the background without interruption. Yummy, Gtalk on Tab 10.1 can connect with anyone who is using Gtalk or Gmail. Your friends can make video calls directly from the gmail in the browser without having to install applications and free Gtalk glance at Tab 10.1 superior here, but unfortunately not many smartphone or device that supports Gtalk Video call. But over time, Gtalk video call can be used more crowded than Facetime, let alone Google + also adopts a similar video calls.
Like a man who was a baby compared to the adult, that's the image comparison application in Tab 10.1 and iPad 2. Applications Tab 10.1 is still fairly small compared to the application on the iPad 100rb 2.
Application - iPad 2 Win
- iPad 2: 100rb Applications
- Tab 10.1: <500 applications
While the Android platform Honeycomb in adopsikan to Tab 10.1 is still relatively very small. Although Android application has already reached hundreds of thousands, but the application is not optimized for large sailing Android tablets. A matter of time only, if the tablet android boom, of course, the developers vying to upgrade the look of their apps.
Synchronization - Tab 10.1 Win
- iPad 2: iTunes USB
- Tab 10.1: Samsung Kies, Mass Storage via wifi and USB
Synchronization on the iPad 2 is required to use iTunes as the source. Sometimes this makes it inconvenient to transfer data. Conversely 10.1 tabs more flexible by using software Samsung Kies and can also be used as Mass Storage.
Internet Tethering - Tab 10.1 Win
- iPad 2: Not Support
- Tab 10.1: Wifi and USB tethering
With the ability to share the internet you can share the Internet to other devices. Moreover, the two tablets are already supporting 3G, simply subscribe to an Internet package to be able to share to all other wifi devices. Certainly more efficient is not it?
One more thing, the battery capacity to 2 tablets at a very qualified to do tethering all day without fear of running out of battery.
Performance and Graphics - DRAW
- iPad 2: Processor 1 Ghz dualcore chip A5, PowerVR GPU
- Tab 10.1: 1 GHz dualcore processor NVIDIA Tegra 2
iPad 2 uses 512 MB of RAM while the Tab 10.1 at 1 GHz. Tabs seem to have 1.10 RAM 2 times larger. The graph on the iPad using PowerVR chips while Tab 10.1 SGX543MP2 GPU using NVIDIA Tegra 2.
Personalization - Tab 10.1 WIN
For those who like personalize, both from the side view and the system would have loved Tab 10.1. Honeycomb Android OS on 01/10 Tab allows to beautify your homescreen. Widgets, live wallpapers, and themes can be changed easily in Tab 10.1. You no longer bored with the look of your homescreen that that's it. Conversely, you can not make any changes to your homescreen iPad 2.
Game - iPad 2 WIN
Who does not know the game in the IOS. To the extent that many who buy iPad just for playing games. Naturally, almost all game developers would make games for IOS. Even the console game developers playstation, xbox and pc are the focus of making games for IOS. I am sure of the number of applications 100rb, gaming applications dominate. Whereas only 10.1 Tab because it still has a handful of new games.
Speed to open the message - Tab 10.1 WIN
I do not like to use iPad two frequent loading times, connecting the first time when opening the application. For example, there is new mail, in IOS iPad 2, emails do not appear instantly in the email list because they have to be downloaded in advance, although have got notifikasinya. It is also common in many chat applications, social networking, etc.. Ditwitter For example, mention the newly accepted, can not directly open a snap when opening twitter. Again, loading and waiting. : (
Of course there is also a disputed this, although the performance iPad 2 fairly quickly. But in cases like this IOS looks too much thinking. It does not happen in the Android Tab 10.1 fast display a message, email or the latest tweet.
Usage & Multitasking - DRAW
IOS famous use is still easy to surpass the convenience factor. Even users are not required to understand the system thoroughly to keep it running smoothly. IOS does not run all applications in the background. Although claimed to be multitasking, but in fact the multitasking on the iPad 2 is still not 100% pure. But it can be patched with the stability of the OS from Apple.
Instead Android OS on Tab 10.1 Multitasking really pure. You can open many applications, and jumping to another application, without any change in your work. But do not blame if it runs out of RAM on Android. You must be a little difficult to install the application task killer returns of RAM or close an application to the Android system is not running slow. Not a problem for many people, but there is also disputed.
3G connectivity - DRAW

Batteries - DRAW
- iPad 2: 6930 mAh, claimed to stand for 10 Hours
- Tab 10.1: 6800 mAh, claimed to stand for 9 hours
No doubt the 2 tablet has a long battery life with the large capacities of these. It is difficult to ascertain how long a battery life when used. Heavy usage such as playing games, watching videos is draining the battery. However, if used only for browsing, playing music, email and chat this tablet can last all day.
Price - iPad 2 WIN
- 3G 16GB iPad 2: 650 USD (U.S. Store)
- Tab 10.1 16GB 3G: 700 USD
Both 2 and Tab 10.1 iPad have their respective advantages. It all depends on the needs and tastes of each. For example, if you're a lover of games, iPad 2 is indeed the only choice. But if you like chatting, browsing and email flash content, perhaps better Tab 10.1. For that select the device as needed is the right answer.
