The Comparison Of Existing iPad Alternatives
Posted By SimplyMax On August 18, 2010 @ 9:58 pm In All,Hardware | Comments Disabled
After iPad's appearance in late April many Apple's competitors decided to release their own tablets. Almost four months had passed since that moment and now we decided to study the market of iPad's rivals and write down every one that worth attention.
But before we start the list it is important to note that we chose the tablet devices that satisfied next criteria:
- No physical keyboard;
- Availability for purchase;
- The screen must be at least 5''.
Let's go!
1. Archos 5 Internet Tablet
Price: $299 for 16GB version
OS: Android 1.6
Screen: 4.8" (800x480), resistive
Paris-based company Archos knew how to make excellent portable media centers long before the iPad appeared. These three models are an excellent example of evolution of media players into tablets.
