Performance of their new chip I guess. Much more powerful than the Tegra 2 apparently. Also, the unibody shell is more expensive to fabricate as usual.

The pricing came from SoyaCincau.com which says that MacStudio allow you to preorder the iPad2 at iPad pricing and pay the remainder if it is more expensive.

xoom is very overpriced le i think

galaxy still ok

hope they ll reduce further to compete with epal

I have a fellow friend who complained about Ipad2.. the camera suckssss and the casing get scratched easily with its sleeve or something..

the outer quality is worse of Ipad 1.

Added on April 25, 2011, 8:48 pmNah.. Well.. Ipad2 reso is only 1024x768 while tablets support 1280x800 edi.. tegra 2 benchmark is lower than Apple A5 chip but I think its due to the different resolution involved.

Both camera's are VGA quality!

But even if the resolution is in play, the A5 chips are more powerful in terms of graphical power.

well somehow.. Ipad 2 camera is sucky.. no idea why..

I dont think it would be much difference.. in graphical power..

I pad 2 camera not so good, but ipad2 screen still better than xoom.

that's y there are others like Samsung Exynos and TI OMAP 4 series with PowerVR, and Qualcomm Snapdragon with Adreno as well...

also dun forget Tegra 2 is a very old architecture (in terms of computer hardware), >1 yr since first production... if A5 dun perform better than it sth's really wrong...

Added on April 25, 2011, 10:05 pmif u look closely, WiFi version for US$599, that's basically the same as iPad2 32GB WiFi...

but pricing at the same lvl is not helpful at convincing ppl to switch, especially when there's the "Apple effect"
