So, what about the iPad2?

Indeed it is a great device. In terms of hardware, no doubt it is an upgrade from the iPad first generation. It is thinner, lighter, more powerful with a dual-core A5 chip, it has two cameras one front and back and the new magnetic smart cover. The only weakness that can be identified at this moment, as in the iPad1, is the little amount of RAM available. Have you ever tried editing a RAW file? Both iPads will fail miserable. Why do you think Apple has made a big deal of iMovie while real working pro-photographic apps are not even mentioned? Because both iPads aren't powerful enough. iMovie and GarageBand are both wonderful apps but the average consumer weekend user. Do you think, it is possible to get a high quality video or for that matter a high quality photograph from the iPad's cameras? Of course not. Moreover, the lack of USB interconnectivity and RAM means that it is impossible to upload quality files to the iPad. Then there is the issue of using the iPad to record video and taking pictures; imagine yourself holding the IPad making a video; get the picture?

In my opinion, however, the iPads 1 and 2 could be more useful if only Apple would implement the following features: multitasking, OCR, Flash, a professional email client, a user file-system, USB connectivity, notifications, and widgets.

More on the iPad later. Written with iPad.

Why is android better than apple ios

Android is the best operating system for mobile computing. The current version is Froyo. Gingerbread, which is android's next iteration will be coming out soon. The android is the operating system of choice of all major hardware designers and makers. Why? It's free! It's innovative and it's constantly being improved!

One can buy a phone made by HTC, Samsung, or Motorola. One is not tied to a control freak deciding every little aspect and detail on a phone R&D, software marketing and cellphone provider. No, with android you decide what hardware, interface and provider suits you better. There are new phones coming to the market place every other day, so the decision is yours, not his.

Also the android operating system is superior to the ios. Multitasking, document management, notifications are native and efficient; one can download apps from the Google market as well as from independent developers and sources. If you use Itunes, you can sync your media library wirelessly via bluetooth and/or wifi; and then there are all the web-based tools offer by Google. Gmail, docs, voice, talk, calendar, picasa, reader, news, and blogger and youtube integrated to the mobile experience. Data is transferred and sync over-the-air forget about phones and computers being tied down by cables, with android you are free.

If you are serious about mobile computing, then android is for you. Don't let big brother decide what you need or don't need. You want flash? you got it! and it works perfectly!. Do you need to find your way? you go it! Google maps, Google navigation and Google my tracks; do you need to find your way in the sky? you got it! Google Sky Map!.
