So in the decision to purchase a tablet, I have decided to go with the Motorola Xoom. It was a hard decision to make, and I wont be getting one for a little bit (for financial reasons). There was a lot to consider. Here are the pros of the Xoom and iPad2 I found.
Xoom
- Screen size -More of a landscaped widescreen setup
- Expandable Memory
- Flash playback
- The OS and how it functions is way cool
- I can use all the same apps I have on my phone. (Which is a big one)
- More free apps
- The cleanness of the iOS
- The ability to play DRM files
- Lightweight (compared to the Xoom it is lighter)
- Most companies release apps for the iOS before any other platform
- Netflix, and Hulu plus are already on iOS devices
Those are the main things I could think of. There were also a lot of similarities.
- Processor speed
- Both front and rear facing cameras
- I could either one for school, like putting my text books on it etc.
- Both have high resolution screens.
I can't argue against being able to use the apps that you already have on your android phone (it is a factor that will probably put me toward the iPad since I have an iPhone) but I was wondering if you ever went to the Apple store to play with the iPad?
ReplyDeleteI have noticed that you have a bunch of guitar stuff and your facebook has a picture of you with a guitar. I went to the Apple store in Knoxville last week and goofed around with the garageband app... I loved it. You can hook up your guitars and all sorts of other stuff to it and make some pretty cool stuff. I'd take that into account before making the Xoom purchase.
Other than that I think you'd be great with either one. I'd love to get one too, but unfortunately I'll have to wait for the money too.
Who needs to wait for the money? I'm going to go out and buy both right now! (Just don't tell Sara...)
