Top 10 Best Alternative to iPad3 :
This is an age of smartphones and tablet Pc’s and with advent of Tablets, usage of desktop computers is on the decline. However, some researchers believe that Tablets do not have bright and prosperous future, they try to validate their argent with an example of netbooks, which were pretty hyped once they were released, but since there was not much demand for it and once the people who wanted to buy it, had already purchased it, there was nothing much left behind.
They propose that Tablets might suffer the same fate once all the people who want to buy it have bought it. However, i believe the usability and portability of tablets is much better than that of netbooks, and consumers are still pretty hyped about tablets, which proves that tablet business is not going anywhere any time soon. We have compiled a list of top 10 alternatives to iPad, which you should take into consideration prior to your purchase.
Sony Xperia Tablet
Ever since the split of Sony Ericsson, Sony has been trying pretty hard to recognize themselves as one of top brands in this particular niche. Sony has already strong presence in several segments of market and i hope they will continue to produce awesome cellular and handheld products as well.
Sony Xperia, which is a flagship brand of Sony, is soon going to launch a tablet, which can probably give a run for money to a lot of tablet vendors, such as iPad 3. Sony has not yet officially announced their tablet, but the the tech industry is buzzing with rumors about it. Xperia Tablet stands at 8 MP camera with 3264×2448 resolution, which makes it a better choice over iPad 3, which has only 5 MP camera, with less resolution. Sony Xperia also outperforms iPad 3 in processor category, as its 1.3 GHZ processor easily beats up iPad 3′s 1 GHZ cpu. Sony Xperia is expected to be priced at $400 USD.
Asus Google Nexus 7
This is probably one tablet to beat them all, beside latest Kindle by Amazon. Google collaborated with mother of all computer manufacturers and has come up with a relatively cheaper, but extremely powerful machine. Nexus 7 is lighter, sleeker and a killer! and probably will give a big blow to industry leaders Apple and Samsung. Google Nexus 7 supports 4 G network and was announced in June, 2012, it was immediately released in the following month of July. Nexus 7 weighs at 340 grams, which is probably half the weight of iPad 3, it is also smaller in size, but amazingly more powerful than latest iPad. Nexux 7 has a powerful CPU of 1.3 GHZ, however, camera is not very impressive. It can be purchased at price of 150 Eur.
Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 N8010
This is a latest tablet by Samsung, which was announced in August, however, we have yet to see it released. Samsung is probably one of the toughest competitor to Apple, both companies can often be seen accusing each other of ripping each others material. In a recent news, Samsung argued that their tablet was in development process even when iPad idea was being conceived! it might just be a fake claim to win some court case.
The latest table by Samsung has dimensions of 262 x 180 x 8.9 mm and body weight of 597 grams. The design looks pretty good from the pictures and knowing the past history of Samsung, it is not wrong to believe this tablet will have an amazing look. Please note, this tablet, like other tablets we have mentioned above, weighs less than iPad and is even thinner! Its quad core. 1.4 ghz processor and secondary 1.9 Mp camera also outshines iPad 3. However, this smart gadget will be priced at 530 Eur and that makes it almost 110 Eur more expensive than ipad 3.
Blackberry 4G LTE Playbook
Blackberry, which is a status symbol with an impeccable branding, has a new tablet in the hood as well. It has a processor that puts iPad 3 to shame! The struggling Canadian company, which was once a heart throb of all business people, is now considering to switch to Android. I really hope they don’t as if they do, it will help Google to step further to become a monopoly. There should always be a healthy competition to maintain a balance in the market.
Blackberry’s tablet has a net body weight of 425 Grams and dimensions of 194 x 130 x 10 mm. This TFT capacitive touchscreen device is a lot smaller and thinner in size than most of tablets we have discussed above. Its pre loaded with company’s own BlackBerry Tablet OS v2.0. Some of other salient features are its massive 1.5 GHZ dual core processor and 3 mp secondary camera. Blackberry’s tablet is priced at 460 Eur.
Samsung P1000 Galaxy Tab
This is one of popular tablets out there. Even though it was announced in September, 2010 and made available to public in October, 2010, it is not wrong to believe that its still going strong in some countries. I have picked this tablet, because of its light weight and cool design.
Even though its an old machine, but it still gives good competition to iPad in some areas, such as weight, dimension and price. It is 1 GHz Cortex-A8 processor with Hummingbird chipset and shiny 1.3 mp camera. It can be purchased for the price of 290 Eur.
Huawei MediaPad
Huawei’s mediapad is 6th in our list. Huawei, which is a popular brand in some Asian countries is famous for manufacturing high end phones for low prices and Mediapad specifications and design affirms that. This tablet was announced in third quarter of 2011 and is now available in market.
It is light weight and comparatively smaller tablet out there. It comes in dimensions of 190 x 124 x 10.5 mm and merely 390 grams of body weight. Mediapad has 5 Mp camera (autofocus), with 2592×1944 pixels screen resolution and makes videos at 720p@30fps. It also got a secondary camera of 1.3 MP. Huawei’s tablet is priced at350 Eur.
Dell Streak 7
Dell, which is famous for desktop and laptop computers, their xps and gaming range laptops are very popular among consumers. Dell saw a market in tablets and announced one of their version of tablets last year in January, 2011. This tablet was later released in March same year.
This tablet boasts its 5 Mp camera which has a resolution of 2592х1944 pixels and has functionality of autofocus and Led flash light. It also has 1.3 Mp secondary camera and its cameras are capable of making videos. Streak 7 loaded with with internal storage of 16 GB and processor of Dual-core 1 GHz Cortex-A9 cpu. It is humbly priced at210 Eur.
HTC Flyer
When we are talking about tablets, we can certainly count on Htc’s. Htc has now a long history of building devices and they recognized themselves as an emerging brand in a very competitive market. Htc announced their flagship tablet in February 2011 and released it shortly after 2 months in May, 2011. Flyer, the tablet with Dolby mobile & SRS sound improvement features weigh at 420.8 grams.
It comes in dimensions of 195.4 x 122 x 13.2 mm and has smart technology of touch sensitive controls. Htc Flyer, whichhas 5 mega pixel camera, 1.3 MP secondary camera and powerful 1.5 GHz Scorpion processor costs 300 Euronly.
Asus Transformer Prime TF700T
Asus, as i mentioned earlier, is a big gun in computing industry. A lot of big brands get their hardware from Asus! Since Asus has a lot of resources on their hands, it doesn’t surprise me when they come up with gadgets, which are relatively more powerful than a lot of similar gadgets in the market. Transformer Prime is one of the many examples, which proves Asus superiority in computer hardware sector.
Asus Transformer Prime TF7007 is Quad-core 1.6 GHz Cortex-A9, with ULP GeForce GPU and record breaking Nvidia Tegra 3 T33 motherboard. It comes with 8 MP primary camera and 2 MP secondary camera, it also makes videos and has Led Flash as well as Autofocus technology. The only draw back is probably its weight, which is 598 grams. Transformer Prime has a price tag of $492 USD.
Micromax Funbook P300
Earlier we have been covering high end super charged tablets, but for the low end users, who cannot afford to empty their pockets for tablets on the likes of iPad 3, we have Funbook P300 to rescue them. Micromax, which is relatively unknown brand, has produced an affordable tablet with decent features. Funbook P300 was announced and released in April, 2012.
It has a capacitive touch screen and supports 32 GB microSD card. Even though the microSD card supports reasonable amount of memory, but its internal memory of 4 GB is not very impressive. P300 has a decent size cpu, which tops at 1.22 GHz Cortex-A8 with a GPU of Mali-400MP. This Android Ice cream Sandwich device, which has a talk time of 5 hours has a retail price of 123 USD.
