Tablet Wars: iPad vs HP Slate vs JooJoo vs Dell Mini 5 vs Archos7 vs Notion Ink Adam



Not since the MP3 Wars of the last decade has there been as much excitement over the launch of a new type of hand-held device. It's a little odd to be talking about the Tablet Wars in advance of these products actually hitting market. - but in today's digital world, that's how fast things are moving. Which makes our job of forecasting a front-runner - a wee bit of a challenge. Pre-orders would be an indicator, but those numbers are being held under close wraps.

So, the best we can do is lay out the facts currently released to the public, and leave it up to the reader as to what product makes the most sense. So based on the specs that have been announced, here's some of the key differential stats that distinguishes these multi-task-multi-media devices:
  • Apple iPad and HP Slate has storage capacity up to 64GB
  • Apple iPad is the lightest at 1.5 lbs.
  • Apple iPad is the only one that doesn't have a camera or webcam
  • The Dell Mini 5 has the smallest screen at 5 inches
  • Joo Joo has the largest screen at 12 inches
  • JooJoo weighs the most at 2.4 lbs
  • JooJoo is only tablet to have no demonstrated way to read ebooks
  • Archos 7 Android is the least expensive
  • Notion Ink Adam has the longest battery life

And here is a Gizmodo's Guide that lists all of the known specs:

Alot of the information you have is just completely wrong. You really barely looked at the officially specs for anything did you. Or made stuff up.
