If there is anyone out there that can compete Apple in the realm of tablets it is Samsung. And the reason behind that is Samsung has been making some pretty good tablets because the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 android based tablet was considered to be the best tablet after iPad. On the other hand believes Samsung has made patent violation which led to the stoppage of Galaxy Tab in US in June. But the two tech giants are still battling on the patent infringement as Apple’s believes Samsung has violated iPhone’s patents.
Now Samsung has come up with something which is even better than Galaxy Tab, the company has released Galaxy Note 10.1 which is based on more powerful engine, you can draw and write on the screen with the help of stylus and it also has a handwriting recognition program that works pretty well. You can also perform multitasking which enables you to perform several actions at the same time. Overall it is a nice device but not nicer than iPad.
Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 [Affiliate link] comes with a price tag of $499, same as the iPad, for Verizon with 16 gigs of storage capacity where as the 32 gigs would cost you $549. The device is covered in plastic and made solid but not as solid as iPad’s metal casing. On the front two stereo speakers are integrated on the top, there is also MicroSD slot on the upper edge of the device which kicks in additional 32 gigs of storage capacity, something that iPad does not offer.
Galaxy Note 10.1 also comes with an infrared emitter which lets you control TV sets with your tablet. iPad have the similar option which it requires wi-fi home network. But in case of Samsung you do not need any wi-fi just configure your built-in software with your TV set there you go, your tablet become a TV remote.
Adding the extra memory slot and making your tablet as double for TV set is nice but it is not something that will make iPad user upset because iPad does not have these things Thing that would make them upset is if you take away their high resolution crystal clear display, it called Retina display by Apple. In case of Samsung, it provides you with a standard display which is not that bad but certainly nowhere near the iPad’s Retina display.
But Galaxy Note 10.1 does have an upper hand on iPad because of its multitasking. iPad does not allow you to run more than one app at a time. You either have to shut them down or rum them in background whereas Galaxy Note 10.1 lets you perform multiple things at a time. The device gives you the feature called Multiscreen which enable to several apps at the same time including web browser, email program, video player etc. So for instance on one side of the screen you can put a movie on download and on the other side you can read reviews and fun facts about it on Wikipedia.
