Is Tablet worth Buying ?

Everyone will have this question in mind. Is tablet worth buying ? For those who already decided to buy consider below points before buying.

Four basic requirements for Tablets:

Now if you review all 4 requirements with each one of the popular tablets. You will come to know that not all requirements are satisfied by any existing tablets.

Ipad2 :

- You can browse on only one window at a time. No Flash support.

- Comes with a low resolution cameras.

Samsung Galaxy Tab:

Pros:

Motorola Xoom:

Pros:
