Google, Microsoft and Apple are going head-to-head over 10in tablets - but how do their devices compare?
It's been a busy week for tablets. Google unveiled a 10in Samsung-made tablet in its Nexus lineup, targeting Apple's iPad with a whopping 2,560 x 1,600 resolution at a lower price.
Microsoft kicked off its $1bn marketing campaign by releasing its own-brand 10in tablet, the Surface RT, running Windows 8.
Even Apple updated its iPad, adding a Lightning connector and faster processor to the fourth-generation of its successful tablet.
PC Pro have collected the headline specs of the top-brand tablets to see how Apple, Google and Microsoft stack up in the 10in tablet space.

My son lent me his new iPad to play around with on Saturday but I can't get very excited about it. They need to reduce the price by half for me to want one. But at least I have almost completed the transition from desktop to laptop. 8-)
-
Well, you probably could get one for nearly half the current price, by opting for an earlier version. I'm not really sure how much has significantly changed since iPad 2.
-
Weight!
-
Oh, really? I don't like thing too light, as they usually feel flimsy and not well built.
-
The 2 isn't light, the 3 is a bit heavy.
-
My son says that the important difference is 'retina recognition' whatever that might be! Apparently it's important to oldies like me. ::) They are still making the iPad 2 which is around £100 cheaper than the 3. Sadly, I can't have his old 2 because he's given it to my 4yr old grandson. :laugh:
-
The retina screen is better but not hugely so. I haven't come across retina recognition.
-
Isn't the retina thing just where you hold your finger on something, and a bubble comes up enlarging it?
-
Time to move this thread to the DZ. ::)

:laugh:

Go on holiday in the USA - you'll get it half price there.
-
I'm going the opposite way - try Bangkok.
-
Get a knockoff one then.

;D

I have a Nexus 10 and it is a great device. I also like Android OS and even trying to develop an own app for it (similar to the one that you can find if you Google on: "voip-sip-sdk/p_456"). I do not have any problems with iPads but I prefer Android over iOS.
-
I now have an iPad although I'm a bit puzzled about what to do with it. :laugh:

Download pictures of sheep.
-
You think he hasn't already? :laugh:
-
You can never have enough sheep if you are from Wales.
-
I pride myself on having such a large collection. :leer:
-
All types...
-
Especially black ones. :devil:
