Best Tablets, Cases, Latest News, Specs & Comparison: Apple iPad vs. PC Tablets Surface Pro 2, Galaxy Tab Pro and Kindle [VIDEO]
Among the line up of expected or recently released mobile devices are the iPad Pro, the Surface Pro 2 and the Galaxy Tab Pro. The latter has caused the most buzz with a commercial deriding its competitors, but the other tablets stand their ground and prove to be just as reliable as the Korean made tablet.
Samsung, the maker of the Galaxy Tab Pro, just released a scathing commercial mocking its competitors' shortcomings. The commercial showcases the Galaxy's ability to use multiple apps simultaneously and its greater screen resolution of 2560 x 1600. The targets of the commercial are the iPad, the Surface and the Kindle, mocking each tablet's shortcomings. The iPad can only access one app at a time, the Surface is too much like a laptop and the Kindle only supports ebooks.
Yet, the other tablets have their own success (except for perhaps the Kindle whose sole purpose is to read ebooks comfortably.)
The Surface has been praised for actually being like a laptop. The versatility found in its hybrid design makes it easier to work with, according to GizMag. The new surface has a stand that allows for it to stand at a 22 degree angle or a 55 degree angle, facilitating typing.
Another advantage is the new Type Cover, which is sturdier, feeling more stable on one's lap. The new Surface's battery life is also 75 percent longer, which decreases the chances of one carrying the charger around, like in the Samsung commercial. If a longer battery life is required, a new Power Cover will be released soon. According to GizMag, it is a thicker Type Cover but with a built-in battery.
The upcoming iPad Pro, on the other hand, may break with tradition and add a stylus. The Times of India reports that a new patent most likely points to the addition of a stylus, which would make use of certain apps easier on the new iPad.
