2012 Tablet Comparison Chart

To compare tablets side by side, click on up to four different tablets from the list above. You can also sort by popularity or price and filter by connectivity, size and OS. This tablet comparison chart allows you to compare all the top tablet PCs on the market, but which of these specs is most important? Are there other factors that you should consider when choosing a tablet?

Android, iOS or Something Else?

Probably the most important thing to consider when doing a tablet comparison is the operating system. Apple was first to market with their iOS platform and therefore have the biggest market share and the largest amount of apps in their app store. Google is the second most popular tablet operating system with their Android OS. Other alternatives include HP tablets with WebOS and ASUS tablets with Microsoft's Windows 7. In the next few years, we can expect even more tablet operating systems to emerge. For example, Microsoft has announced Windows 8 and Windows RT for tablets will be released later this year. Several open source systems are also in the works and should arrive on the market soon.

Android Tablets vs iPad

Apple's iPad is an incredible device and leads the market in tablet sales. Having more than a year head start on the competition, Apple has nearly cornered the market. They offer a mature operating system with a large free and paid application portfolio in the Apple App Store. However, when looking for the best tablet pc, there are reasons to choose Android over iOS.

The iPad is a very closed system compared to Android. Most tablets with Android allow more freedom when it comes to installing apps and customizing your experience. Manufacturers are also free to make interface changes and customize Android. This allows different companies to offer their own variations of Android. More choice means more competition and progress!

Compare Android Tablets

Because there are many different manufacturers and developers in the Android tablet community, the choices and options are much higher (especially than Apple's single option). When comparing tablets, it's important to look at:

· Screen: Is it multi-touch? What is the size and resolution?

· Processor: Is it fast enough to handle your tasks? Is it single, dual or quad core?

· Memory: Does it have enough RAM to run all the apps you need?

· Storage: Can you fit all your apps and media on it? Is the memory expandable?

One of the most important things you'll want to consider when doing a tablet comparison is the screen. Does it have a multi-touch screen or a single-touch screen? Some tablets also come with a stylus for those who don't like to use their fingers on the screen. You should also consider the screen resolution to make sure it's high enough quality for your needs. Most tablet reviews spend a lot of time focused on the screen quality since this is one of the most important qualities for a new tablet.
