Android Tablets Vs. iPad

Android Tablets vs. iPad – this may well become the big tech debate of 2011. I will break down the differences for you and tell you what side I am on! There are several key differences between the two devices -

Operating System

Obviously, one of the largest differences between the two systems is the operating system. Android tablets are running on some version of the Android OS from Google, while Apple’s iPad is running on Apple’s iOS. Both are the same basic OS that runs on the companies’ respective smart phones.

To me, this is just a matter of preference. These days, many developers prefer Android over iOS, as it is much easier to get a new app into Android’s app market. However, every Android tablet (and phone) may run on a different version of the software, which can make it a bit unsettling for users, as some apps may work only on a newer version of Android, which every tablet may not get.

The companies that develop the tablets decide when to push an update of the Android software to each type of device, so one type might get an update, while others may wait for months, or never get an update at all.

As far as I am concerned, there is no clear winner in this arena. If you get a chance, try each one and see which operating system you like best. Personally, I am a bigger fan of Android.

Screen Size

Having a big screen can be a plus or a minus depending on what you plan to use it for, and especially on how you plan to carry a tablet around. For example, I purchased the Samsung Galaxy Tab, considered one of the best Android tablets currently on the market, and a big selling point for me ws the screen was actually much smaller than the iPad.

The iPad screen is over 10 inches, making almost as big as some small laptops. That can be great if you plan to carry it in a backpack all the time and want to watch videos on it, but it does make it harder to carry around. For me, the Galaxy Tab made more sense because I don’t carry a backpack and like to bring it to meetings. Continue reading »

Android 4 Tablets

Android 4 is the latest version of Google’s Android Operating System. It has been code-named as the ‘Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS)’. The Android 4 OS has been designed by Google to be used in both cell phones and PC tablets. Google has mentioned that Android 4 brings together the best of both Gingerbread and Honeycomb, the previous two versions of Android, but also has new features that will make using cell phones or tablet a much richer experience.

The animations have been refined and enhanced to offer you a better experience. The most noticeable change with Ice Cream Sandwich is the interface. In the new Android 4 OS, Google has tried to make the common functions more accessible which allow more natural and flowing navigation around the operating system. It might follow the same principles as the previous Android version, but the way it is used is radically different in a number of ways. The Android 4 is designed to work with buttons. Now to navigate around you will be offered three soft-keys: Back, Home and Multitasking. Multitasking has been made easier and more seamless, with the bonus of re-sizable widgets and customized home screens.

It even offers the favorite tray feature which can be seen on all screens. If you will be using an Android 4 tablet that may at any point of time have many screens to flip through so if you have your favorites lined up to flip through will be a nice feature. An Android 4 tablet will now have better Wi-Fi and network connectivity and will highlight which applications are using what data. This feature will be of great help for the people who have a tendency of going beyond their network usage every month so that they come to know which application is causing the most data usage and can keep a check on it.
