iPad 2 may have converted new bunch of Apple fans but the truth is, competition is relatively stiff especially in 2011 when more and more tablets are entering the market. A year ago, iPad 2 would have been a definite choice (despite still being considered as a larger version of iPhone). But consumers have more choices to consider now, in order to meet individual needs. Motorola Xoom is one of those options and you won’t be disappointed if you opt for it. Here are 5 reasons Motorola Xoom is a better choice than iPad 2.<\/p>\n

1. Better display and screen size<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Motorola Xoom has a slightly larger display than Apple\u2019s iPad 2. The Xoom has a 10.1-inch screen, while the iPad comes with a 9.7-inch display. Some might say it’s a very minimal difference, but when you put these two tablets side by side, you’ll note the difference immediately. Xoom also comes with 1280 x 800 pixels resolution while iPad 2\u00a0 has a screen size of 1024 x 768 pixels resolution.<\/p>\n

2. More Ports, Better Usability<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Xoom comes with an HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) port and USB port for customers to display video out of the device, connect other devices and add media files easily. As you might have known, Apple still does not want to introduce those ports in iPad 2, forcing its users to buy adapters which would add up the cost.<\/p>\n

3. Better Multi-tasking Ability<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Xoom comes with true multi-tasking experience thanks to the Android 3.0 Honeycomb. There is no need to repeatedly press on the home button as on iPad 2 because in Xoom, the OS offers a dedicated soft button for multitasking, which not only shows you the past five applications you\u2019ve accessed, but screenshots of the applications in their current state. Easy breezy access to all your running apps!<\/p>\n

4. Flash Support and Upgradable to 4G<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Xoom supports Flash since it runs on Android and that would be a plus point especially for those heavy video streaming fans. Depending on the availability of 4G network, Xoom allows upgrade from 3G to 4G connectivity. This also means better speed for Xoom.<\/p>\n

5. Better Front Facing Camera <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Though one of the selling point of iPad 2 is its FaceTime app, the VGA front-facing camera is disappointing. Xoom comes with a\u00a0 2-MP front facing camera as well as 5MP camera with dual-LED flash. Now that Google has introduced video chat for Android, you can bet that the iPad 2 users are complaining how grainy their face look like on FaceTime!<\/p>\n

Though many Apple fans would say that iPad 2 has more apps available on App Store, one couldn’t help but complain that most of those apps are not FREE.\u00a0 Google is gearing up efforts to allow developers to produce more tablet-friendly Android apps and in fact many apps developers are converting most of their iOS apps to Android as well.<\/p>\n
