Apple iPad vs Samsung Galaxy Tab

As the Samsung Galaxy Tab hits 1 million units sold I began to wonder if I ever wanted one of these joyful gadgets which one would be best so I hit the internet to find out. So after I was done researching I found many differences that could sway my decision. As I was researching on PCWorld I came across this chart that provided basically everything I need to know. 







I was reading and everything was basically the same in the beginning except that the tab was much smaller which makes it more practical and easier to use than holding an 11 inch product in your hand. On the other hand the iPad has a 64GB option for internal memory and the highest the tab has in 32GB. Now down to important specifics where the Samsung Galaxy Tab takes over. It has 512MB of ram compared to the iPad's 256MB and the iPad has no multitasking until you upgrade to 4.1 and the galaxy tab is born with it. To me the iPad is just an oversized iPod touch that can’t really do anything. It doesn’t have Adobe Flash Support, a Phone, or any cameras. The galaxy tab prevails in each of those categories with having Adobe Flash Support and having a speaker phone that can be connected with a phone through Bluetooth, and of course one of the most important parts it has 2 cameras. Not just one camera TWO cameras, one on the front with 1.3 megapixels and a better one on the back of 3.2 megapixels. After reviewing all this I would have to choose the most capable device to be able to do as much as I can such as Skyping and watching embedded videos on the internet. That means that the galaxy tab wins against the "Amazing iPad." Oh I think I forgot to mention that they are the same prices and obviously you get more for your money on the Samsung Galaxy Tab.
