Though it is difficult to draw comparisons with a virtual newcomer in the tablet market with a tablet that has been ruling supreme and has virtually led a revolution in the tablet segment, it is tempting to see how Tabtech M009S fares when pitted against the super heavyweight among the tablets, the iconic iPad 2. Well, Tabtech M009S is being touted as an entry level tablet that runs on Android and the cheapest tablet in the market today. Does it have it to take on the leader of the pack? Let us find out.

Apple iPad2
It seems like Steve Jobs was not content with having the world’s largest selling tablet. So what do we have now? iPad2 which is twice as fast than its predecessor when it comes to CPU and nine plus times faster graphics processor. iPad2 is a marvel of technology, and it looks and feels better and comfortable in hands. iPad2 is equipped with dual cameras, one at the rear for capturing HD videos and the front VGA one for making video chats. It has a unique Face Time technology that allows for video messaging. Even though it is faster and decidedly better than iPad, it is surprisingly thinner and lighter.

It has 512 MB RAM and a large display of 9.7 inches with a resolution of 1024×768 pixels. It runs on the latest iOS 4.3 that provides a pleasing experience when browsing.
Conclusion
When we try to compare Tabtech M009S with iPad2, it stands nowhere in comparison whether it is in internal memory or the cameras of the two devices.
