maybe its quite late already for me to make this post coz all other ppl already aware about it. hehe. nevertheless, im making this comparison with reference to phonearena.com and summarizes it for those yg malas nk baca panjang lebar *wink*
DESIGN
Samsung 10.1 - plasticy nature (lighter), 10.1” size, 1280 x 800 pixels, left and right speakers, more depth in colour
iPad2 - more refined and polished construction, 9.7” size, 1024 x 768 pixels, single speaker (back corner), more natural looking color production
Similarity/No different - dedicated power buttons and volume rockers, port (proprietary data/charging connectors)
"(both) don’t provide any means of supplementing their internal storage capacities – meaning, you’re stuck with whatever you pick."
INTERFACE & FUNCTIONALITY
Samsung 10.1 - 1GHz NVIDIA Tegra 2 CPU, sprinkling of complexity but with a ton more appreciable personalization, better implements multi-tasking and notifications, offers voice recognition for inputting text
iPad2 - 1GHz Apple A5 processor, more gracious with its movement, easier and straightforward platform with its simplistic nature.
Similarity/No different - on-screen keyboards are well sized and responsive, layouts of Gmail interfaces (two-panel layout), organizer apps (calendar and address book)
"they’re more than equipped to handle the rigorous demands of their respective tablet platforms."
INTERNET CONNECTIVITY
Samsung 10.1 - true desktop-like experience with web browsing, more features (Flash support and incognito mode)
iPad2 - lacking but still delivers a resounding experience
Similarity/No different - Complex pages load in a timely manner, same set of connectivity options (Bluetooth 2.1 with EDR, aGPS, and their proprietary dock connection ports)
"There is nothing out of the ordinary with these Wi-Fi only models, especially when they retain a solid connection to our local Wi-Fi hotspot."
CAMERA
Samsung 10.1 -3.2-megapixel auto-focus camera (sharper), 720p video recording (superior quality)
iPad2 - filled with soft details and washed out looking colors(look rather muddy and hazy overall)
Similarity/No different - none
MULTIMEDIA
Samsung 10.1 - tastefully full of eye-catching visuals, rather neutral in tone
iPad2 - lacking that polarizing presentation, outputting deeper bass tones
Similarity/No different - playing high-definition videos
"neither offer any dedicated HDMI-out ports to easily share content with the big screen"
PERFORMANCE
"If there’s one thing we utterly adore about the two, it has to be the fact that they offer a solid one day’s worth of normal usage – without the worry of having to recharge at any point during the day"
CONCLUSION
Samsung 10.1 - thinnest and lightest, Android 3.1 Honeycomb (higher degree of personalization, better implementation of notifications, and an integrated experience), shooting photos and videos
iPad2 - solid construction, and choice of premium materials
"Literally, it’s a coin toss between the two mainly because they are priced evenly and have their own unique strengths that appeal to certain individuals out there"
