Recently, Samsung reveals the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1, not the other sibling to Samsung Galaxy Note smartphone, but a slick 10.1 inch Tablet, where Apple unveils its New iPad – The iPad 3.

After the above readings, one can say The New iPad reigns over Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1, but The New iPad lacks some practical features, I’m talking about those features which might put you off, if you are going for The New iPad.

Have a look at this comparison table in the image, which shows some pretty basic features and other functionalities or should I use the word – common-sense, which The New iPad lacks here.

• The Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 allows you to enjoy two apps at the same time, but The New iPad users won’t be able to enjoy such multi-tasking feature.
• Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 comes with a Stylus which I think a pretty basic hardware one should cover, as that’s not a smartphone, but a Tablet which can be used to enjoy little scribing and drawing. Apple users have to buy it.
• Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 offers light image editing features, but there’s a big NO for even that feature in The New iPad.
• I think cut-paste are pretty basic features, nowadays which are included in smartphones too, but that thing is missing in the The New iPad.
• Thought, both the devices offers USB port, but please don’t expect to attach a mouse to the The New iPad, wherein Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 allows its users to do that.

I think I managed to confused you to the bits. But there’s a thin line, consider the basic features rather than going for the hard-core device which won’t be able to perform the former ones. Rest you know the difference. What’s your say over this?
