iPad 2... MUST-have features against competitors!

everyone knew iPad is a breakthrough innovation by Apple last year kan? now... ada buzz buzz for new iPad 2 yg akan launch this year. in fact some says very very very sooooooon. so ape yg iPad 2 MUST-have to compete dgn latest competitors like (clockwise, start top left) Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and the Motorola Xoom, both running Android 3.0 (Honeycomb), and also the HP (Palm) TouchPad. (last pix iPad)

HARDWARE

camera

The Xoom has a decent 5 megapixel snapper, while the Galaxy Tab 10.1 has an astounding 8 megapixel camera.

dual core processor

minimum of 1.2GHz to stay ahead of the competitors

retina/higher resolution display

compared to the rest, Apple is completely fine

slimmer/smaller form factor

Currently the Galaxy Tab 10.1 is 0.07 inches (1.8mm) thinner than the iPad released last April.

expandable memory

Only the Xoom has a SD card slot. However, Apple has never been keen on adding this to its iPhone or iPod Touch range.

SOFTWARE

notifications

Palm’s WebOS has, in my opinion, the most attractive, and least obtrusive message notifications out of any mobile operating system

widgets 

Let’s face it, Android and WebOS both look miles more appealing than the iconic iOS grid-look

browser

almost embarrassed to see how the BlackBerry Playbook’s browser blew Apple’s out of the water when it came to page loading speed.

OVERALL

definitely see more changes to hardware than software in this iPad 2
