subject: Xpad F518 Android 2.1 Tablet With Camera Accelerometer [print this page] Let's compare it with iPad: Let's compare it with iPad:
Size: The F518 has a 7 screen, whereas the iPad has a 9.7. Size may not matter to some people, but the F518 will have to reach that fabled 9.5 mark before I consider putting my hands on one. Winner: iPad
Speed: The F518 clocks in with a 800Mhz DDR2 processor; the iPad runs at 1Ghz. The A4 chip designed by Apple is not only faster, but it is designed to consume less power than the G10s Telechips ARM. Could the F518 have gotten away with using something like, say, the Tegra 2 chip? Perhaps; they probably should have. Winner: iPad
Memory: Both products run on 256Mb of RAM. The XPad has a built in 2MB drive, which is expandable up to 32GB. Apples iPad has a flash drive with either 16, 32, or 64GB. You do the math. Winner: iPad
Camera/Media: Both devices support HD playback, but only one supports flash (can-you-guess-which-one?) The G10s 0.3MP wont be capturing anything that will end up in the Guggenheim, but the iPad lacks a camera altogether. Winner:F518
Everything else: Everything else mainly ends up in a tie. Both have WiFi, accelerometers, multi-lingual support, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. The F518 has a lot more out ports of varying types, but the iPad has 3G connectivity and shiny accessories.
