--- Quote from: DrEvil on March 09, 2011, 05:25:29 pm ---iPad (2) has more memory options than the iPhone 4; it has a more powerful processor (A5 chip) than the iPhone 4 (A4 chip); iPad 2 has a bigger battery than the iPhone 4; The iPad has a bigger battery than the iPhone; You can make calls on the iPhone but not on the iPad; The iPhone has more sensors than the iPad. Rest depends on your use.
I have both iPhone 3GS and iPad (1st generation), they are equally good when it comes to usability because they both run the same OS. But using iPad is more fun but not easy to carry.

xoom uses android 3.0 (honeycomb) which is the latest android version.
android being open, will have more & better apps.

No Big Brother
When you get an iPad, Apple determines what apps you can download and what apps you can't --- and it uses a heavy hand. It's banned many apps, even once banning one by Pulitzer prize winning cartoonist Mark Fiore, until publicity forced Apple to change its mind. And Apple also banned an app that allowed people to get information from the WikiLeaks site. Such an app is available for free for Android.
With the Xoom, you can download any app you want, either through the Android Market, or from the Web.
Better built-in apps
Google's built-in apps, including Gmail, Google Maps, and Google Calendar, beat anything built into the iPad. And because of the Xoom's Tegra 2 chip, you'll be able to use vector graphics and 3D rendering in Google Maps.
Ever wondered what's in a ipad?
check the picture. ;D
