Talking about latest releases, Samsung has at last got its Galaxy Tab tablet out and it is surely going to be a great competitor for the iPad from Apple. Having a lot of features similar to the iPad, the Galaxy Tablet uses the Froyo OS Google Android 2.2. And we can observe some differences as well.


Processor

Galaxy Tab is driven by the processor ARM Cortex A8 while the iPad uses Apple A4 1GHz. If truth be told, it is actually a revelation to note that Samsung hasn’t used the Hummingbird processor that is used by Galaxy S Smartphone, the other in style phone from Samsung.


Display

You get reasonable difference in display. The iPad sports a bigger 9.7 inch display that has 1024×768 pixels whereas the Tab just uses a 7 inch LCD at 1024×600 pixels. Obviously, as the Galaxy Tab is smaller in screen size, it offers better pixel density even with a bit lesser pixels than the ipad.


Weight

While the iPad is 680 gm, the Tab is on the lighter side, weighing just 380gm.


Phone App

Are you eager about the phone app? The Tab brings it for you. While phone app is absent in iPad, you will have to connect a headset or make use of integrated speakerphone to employ the phone function on Tab.


Camera

Sadly, the iPad doesn’t offer any built-in camera. However, Galaxy Tab offers two whole cameras! You find a 1.3MP front-side camera for video chats and you have auto-focus and flash enabled 3MP camera on the rear side.


Flash Support

With Android 2.2 OS on Galaxy Tab, you get flash support right within the browser. On the other hand, iPad can’t run flash with its Safari Mobile browser. You do have some hacks to get Flash running, but you don’t have any support for that from Apple. And though it is not possible to expand the iPad’s storage, the Tab gives you 32GB of flash storage which you can expand if you want.


App Store

Access to Android Market is a cool and extra exclusive feature that you get with Galaxy tab.


So, which is Best – iPad or Galaxy Tablet ?

Well, it basically depends on the user and where he/she is looking to be while using the gadget. Tab is lighter and compact so it is good when you are traveling. On the other hand, iPad is good for leisurely watching movies, going through spreads sheets etc.
