Tablet Wars! VHS or Betamax Android, Apple, or Playbook

I've clients asking me about pills regularly now. They would like to know which platform will win. They require something, but they are simply not sure what. So, here's my make an effort to compare the platforms. Since I Have have only knowledge about the Android pills, I am searching for community input around the Ipad and Rim Playbook. How could they be on your side? I give my favorite evaluation of every platform and stamp each with VHS (it is going to survive) or Betamax (going the clear way of the dodo bird).

Specifications When I stated, I am unable to talk to the iPad and Playbook aside from things i listen to others, so be ready for some hearsay. I personally use an Acer Iconia A500 - a Android Os tablet. It's somewhat bigger compared to Universe Tablet (the 7" one) and it has a tenInch screen. It is a little around the heavy side because of the lengthy-existence battery. The development is solid, performance is excellent, which is expanding in ways that no other medication is (without docking stations anyway)... it features a full-size USB connector. Which means you can plug a mouse, keyboard, thumb drive, or exterior hard disk directly to the tablet if you want. The Androids are turning up in several different designs, some with keyboard docks, some with charging-only docks, the Transformer appears like a notebook and also the "screen" opens and shuts when docks. To date when i know, Apples and Playbooks are arriving limited designs, with Microsoft products being more flexible, although maybe less than the Androids.

The apple ipad 2 and the Android products using the dual-core processors ought to be nice quick. I am speculating the Windows pills uses exactly the same kind of hardware platform as Android, supplying good performance. Once more, I'm not sure much concerning the Playbook. Generally, the Android pills (and theoretically Microsoft too) have a shorter hardware lifecycles than these and they'll be shipped by multiple producers. What this means is you will see more new and much more recent hardware around the Android platform.

Verdict: VHS - Android & Microsoft Betamax - Apple & Playbook

Personalization Apple enables less personalization (mostly skills and symbols) from the tablet compared to the Androids (extreme... change just about anything). Which means that there's more you are able to mess on Androids also though. I favor the additional options, personally. I am unable to talk to personalization around the Playbook really, there isn't much reliable information out yet. Peanut gallery... any input? We know little at this time concerning the Microsoft pills, but I am likely to guess they are available out approximately the Apple and Androids.

Verdict: VHS - Android Betamax - Apple Unknown - Playbook & Microsoft

Applications Apple has more applications - a minimum of for the time being. For the following couple of years Apple is anticipated to remain fairly far ahead within the application war. Google and also the new Microsoft pills are required to consider a lot of share of the market from Apple though, using the Google Market possibly exceeding the Apple Application Store between 2014. Microsoft Windows 8 is going to be launched within the next year approximately and can potentially permit you to share applications involving the desktop and tablet in ways you can't using the other platforms. Plus, the Microsoft concentrate on the developer ecosystem should encourage rapid development. But... it is a lengthy ways off and you never know what's going to happen between occasionally. The Playbook includes a small application store and they are originating from far behind. Pills really are a new form factor and the amount of business programs on their behalf continue to be somewhat limited. This is challenging its the platforms within the next couple years... being relevant within the enterprise.

Verdict: VHS - Apple & Android Betamax - Playbook Unknown - Microsoft

Platform Endurance The Playbook is definitely an unknown at this time. Many people contemplate it a final flailing attempt by RIM to remain relevant with Rim phones quickly losing to Apple and Google products. Apple and Android products aren't going anywhere in the near future. Personally, i think the Playbook is DoA. Microsoft is extremely late to the overall game, but like a platform I believe they are likely to be around for some time. Named form factor for Microsoft is basically a mystery then. They are certainly betting a great deal on which makes it succeed.

Verdict: VHS - Apple & Android Betamax - Playbook Unknown - Microsoft

Security Theoretically the Playbook must do well within this category because of RIM's experience controlling mobile products on their own Rim platform. It's largely unknown how good this works to date though. The iPad and Google pills have limited security options to date, nor has good built-in enterprise management features for remote wiping so far as I understand. There's some data file encryption available, but it's limited. Mostly you will need applications to include security to those products. Expect better security when Windows 8 arrives eventually. Because Windows 8 is a shared platform you ought to have Active Directory integration, Group Guidelines and remote mobile phone management support. You will also have the existing Windows security application base. Which should push another suppliers to strengthen their security in order to not lose share of the market to Microsoft.

Verdict: VHS - Playbook & Microsoft Betamax - Apple & Android

Fun Pills are enjoyable and is an excellent addition (not alternative) for your mobile toolbox. They are not likely to replace laptops or cell phones each one, but to go with them. Generally, they stand out at medium to light gaming (less than just like a The new sony PSP or Manufacturers DS) and heavier multimedia (video and audio playing), and lightweight web surfing. Many of them will connect with an High definition tv so that you can display content in HD around the bigger screen. How good they are doing all these is dependent largely around the applications you've loaded, therefore it is difficult to do an Oranges to oranges comparison (pun intended!), but I am just likely to embark on a limb and say they'll be roughly equal within the fun department. The issue will probably be for that Playbook within the applications and games groups. Their application store is beginning way behind another two. Windows pills (once they arrive) must have an advantage whether they can run PC platform games natively. There is a decent Windows application store, even though it is not as large as either of these two leaders - and they've no tablet applications within the store at this time. I am unsure how (or maybe) the present Windows Phone applications will transfer towards the tablet either.

Verdict: VHS - Apple, Android, Microsoft Betamax - Playbook

So, here is a summary: Android - 5 x VHS, 1 x Betamax Apple - 3 x VHS, 3 x Betamax Microsoft - 3 x VHS, 3 x Unknown Playbook - 1 x VHS, 4 x Betamax, 1 x Unknown

Champion: Android!

Like I stated at the very top, my experience is restricted towards the Android mostly. My industry understanding and hearsay allow me to have forecasts about Microsoft, however i might be off on a few of the Apple and Playbook stuff. Please correct me and you can elaborate on features and specs that i'm not really acquainted with. Regardless, this can be a fun new technology area and we are likely to enjoy yourself watching all of the gamers compete for that top a couple of spots!
