Samsung Galaxy Tab vs iPad 2 vs Motorola Xoom

Samsung Galaxy Tab vs iPad 2
This one rather comes down to a case of software and imaging working in favour of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 - as well as a slightly better screen - against the lack of apps, HDMI and marginally sexier form factor of the iPad 2. On balance, we'd probably go for the SamTab on paper - despite the weird missing ports - and hope that the Android Market gets its act together pretty darn soon. (Related: Convert DVD to Galaxy Tab)
iPad 2 vs Motorola Xoom
The Motorola Xoom looks fantastic, both outside and in. It's got a beautiful reflective finish, and no physical or exterior keys, as everything is done on the 10.1-inch touchscreen. Android 3.0 is hands down the nicest we've seen Android looking on any device so far. The Xoom plays 1080p HD video effortlessly, features two cameras and has a whopping 32GB of internal memory. Scared, iPad 2? You should be. (Related: Download YouTube Videos to iPad 2)
Motorola Xoom vs Samsung Galaxy Tab
Motorola Xoom tab and Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10.1 are similar in size and resolution (1280 x 800), and both of them are built around NVIDIA's 1GHz Tegra 2 system-on-chip. Where Galaxy Tab disappoints straight away with the operating system as Galaxy Tab comes with an old froyo 2.2 version, Motorola Xoom wins this contest as this one comes with the latest yet to be adopted by other devices Honeycomb 3.0 Android.
