The arrival of the Apple iPad has been gaining much attention over the past few months with its 9.7 inch touch screen, and advanced capabilities. Although the product had an alleged presale of March 26th, customers have been signing up on Apple's waiting list for quite some time. But what the public seems to forget is that Apple is not the only technological guru to come out with a touch screen tablet this year. Google's Android operating system is also debuting a touch screen tablet this year. The iPad is to be powered by the iPhone Os, an operating system originally designed for cellphones like the Android. Back in January,many companies showed off the new tablets at the Consumer Electronics Show. One Indian company, Notion Ink, spoke about the capabilities of an Android tablet called Adam. Estimated to cost between $327 and $800, the Adam uses the Tegra 2, features a rotating webcam and Compal, MSI, and Quanta played demos of Android-powered devices with seven to ten inch powered by Nvidia's Tegra 2 microprocessor.These Android based tablets can make use of established and different display modes. Android apps; some even have the ability to run Flash, as well as a webcam and multitask software; features the iPad lacks. The question is what product will be more capable : Android or iPad?
