Competition For The iPad 2

Since its release the iPad has been on top of the tablet food chain. Now it seems that the iPad has some competition with Samsung’s new Galaxy Tablet.

The Galaxy is capable of 4G speeds providing quick downloading and web surfing capabilities. The Galaxy is slightly lighter than the iPad 2 with the Galaxy weighing 1.24 pounds. The iPad 2 comes in at 1.32 pounds while the heaviest tablet on the market, the Acer Iconia, weighs 1.66 pounds making the Galaxy the lightest tablet on the market.

The Galaxy has a 3- megapixel camera while boasting a 1,280×800 pixel screen resolution producing vibrant colors and images that make movie watching and game playing a treat.

The Galaxy runs on a Nvidia Tegra 2 Dual Processor providing ample speed and ease for everyday use. Despite the Galaxy’s impressive features the iPad will most likely remain on top, at least for now, due to the brand name Apple has built for itself. Plus the iPad is still a great piece of machinery .

The playing field is undoubtedly getting crowded as competition grows for Apple with competitiors producing tablets like the Galaxy that is just as good as the iPad. Let the tablet wars begin.

Apple Discontinues 13-Inch White MacBook

 Apple computers has quietly discontinued the white 13-inch MacBook. Apple has made no official announcement but if you visit Apple’s online store you’ll find it’s no longer available.

The 13-inch gave buyers the most bang for the buck compared to the MacBook pro models.  I have owned the 13-inch for over a year and I have to say I’m pleased with the MacBook’s performance.

With the exception of adding memory, the computer runs like the first day I purchased it. The White MacBook will be replaced by the MacBook Air which starts at $999, the same price point at the 13-inch MacBook.
