Not to mention that they obviously haven't read on engadget that the ipad 2 actually doesn't have a 1ghz dual core processor but 900 mhz, but that would mean that phonearena would have to admit that apple lied.

and just on a technicality, isnt it SAMSUNGS A5? They are the ones making it and probably designed it, just like they did the hummingbird processor that sits in the iphone4.

Compare its speed tests VS the Xoom and other android dual core tablets, not against single core phones.. durka of course it will win! lol.

But even with its 900 Mhz processor it still beats out the Xoom.... I think I care about performance than numbers bud.

then go somewhere else and dont bitc@ about it... and ya, people like ipads... they r cheaper they do more and in everyones views they are nicer... the average person doesnt care for the amazing customization of live wallpapers... they want the about 400,000 apps compared to the 40 the xoom has...

I love the attitude: if you don't like what those in charge do, then leave. I stick around because someone has to be the voice of reason.

The iPad only has more apps because it's just a blown up iPhone. This compared to the XOOM, which is ostensibky only a few weeks old. Because 400,000 fart simulators is what I really need.

perhaps you could try one of the android flavored sites? you will find all you seem to be in need of over there. can I add one thing though? To your comment "iPad 2 will outsell due to superior quality, the real reason is this: unending coverage on every little aspect of the stupid product." To say it is unending is perhaps misinformed. On this site? Yes, I agree completely, there is an overload of information. But I think that all of those who frequent this site have kind of come to expect that. I think if you step to other sites it might be a different story. Not all prospective buyers will come to phonearena to learn about tabs. Obviously just my opinion and now I will prepare to be flamed for trying to provide some reason, but it's the internet and I expect it.

CNN pulls the same crap. They worship Apple over there too.

As a consumer, I read to get informed. If I based my purchases on engadget's articles, I would be driving an Apple product to work. I also feel that if an individual could sue a forum for misguided info, engadget and a few other forms would be in litigation as we speak because I found out that there are products that actually have wheels to get me to work. Get my point?

I am starting to dislike engadget for trying to ram Apple down mine and everyone else's throats. I love Android more everyday because of your reporting.

Lighten up engadget. Engadget is operated by humans. Humans can have partiality to products. But I must remind you that when you are somewhat relied upon for info, it is essential that you provide unbiased reporting for everyone.

when you are in college the professor is the smartest person in the classroom because you are there to learn from them because they did what you are trying to learn first (i like apple did with ipad and iphone) but when you graduate college and get out on your own you then surpass the knowledge that the professor the teached you and come up with faster better ways to do things based on your younger experiences (android).

how apple got customers in the chokehold is because people still think the the professor "apple" is the only genius but there are open source einsteins "droids" everywhere but people are already brainwashed.

kind of like how people think bottled water is better than tap water, when probably all the bottled water companys do is pour tap water into a bottle then show commercials of the bottled water in the sunlight with unicorns and fairys jumping out of it and then depict tap water as just a old rusty faucet in an alleyway, of course the non educated masses will flock to the bottle water and get bamboozeled into paying the water product but at a higher price cause its now in a "pretty Bottle" and then they really get you by coming out with the 4th generation of bottled water by adding..... wait for it...... wait for it..........FLAVOR! oh shot this is know the best thing ever

this is the same thing that apple has done so well is why the sell how they sell and get people to becaome brainwashed into thinking apple is the pinnacle of all technology.

Uh huh. Considering that the two haven't even been compared side by side in a benchmark test, I call bull on you. Name the source. You're the same punk who never listens to a single thing any of us says against Apple, so forgive me if I don't take you at your word.
