Tech Specs: iPad 2, Xoom, Touchpad & Playbook Compared

March 4, 2011
Steve Jobs was very clear, on Wednesday, that trying to compare the iPad to anything else, especially using only spec sheets, doesn't make much sense. He's got a point, as there is so much more to the iPad 2 than the raw specifications. Yet, now that Engadget committed the terrible affront of comparing iPad 2 specs to other tablets, we can't help but make the comparison. As you can see above, the iPad 2 stacks up really well against the other tablets due to be released this year. It wins on weight, and thinness, but is clearly a bit behind on the cameras. It's not clear how much RAM it has, as Apple doesn't reveal that information. From our experience, and the fact that Safari can now load tabs in the background, memory won't be an issue. Anyway, check it out and tell us what you think.
