Best iPad 2 Alternatives For 2011
There are several iPad 2 alternatives that you can try if you are having doubts with the new tablet of Apple.
iPad 2 may have gotten a lot of good feedback from critics but as a user, you may not be a fan of this gadget particularly when it does not support 4G and Adobe Flash player.
Here are some great alternatives that may strike your fancy:
- Motorola Xoom
Measuring 10.1 inches and designed with dual cameras, Motorola Xoom is one of the best iPad 2 alternatives you can have for 2011. This tablet is run with Honeycomb OS or the tablet-optimized 3.0 OS of Google. Produced as 3G units, the device can be upgraded easily to 4G. Motorola Xoom is one of the best choices of consumers after iPad 2. Its price, however, may be something to think about. Its 3G units have a price tag of $599 with a two-year contract from Verizon.
