Here's a short comparison guide I've got from different tech websites.
Comparing Apple iPad to other brands such as BlackBerry Playbook, Samsung Galaxy Tab, Dell Streak, and HP Slate.
I don't know about you, but here the basic technical specification I look for a device e.g. Processor, RAM, and Apps. I need at least 16GB internal storage for saving documents, few games, music, and video. I am using cloud storage for emails, pictures, and video.
Everyone knows Apple 100,000+ advantage in apps.
