The latest high tech toys to capture the imagination of the public are the tablets that are suddenly awash in the market.With the release of the iPad from Apple, competitors have not slacked at getting in the tablet wars, with many major manufacturers releasing their own versions of what a tablet should be like.So with all the different products, how is one supposed to choose?The fact of the matter is, there can really be no best tablet.Because of the varying preferences that we all have, the perfect fit for you may not be the best one for the person next to you.So let us take a look at how the samsung galaxy tab, one of the best selling tablets around, stacks against the competition and if it would be the best fit for your needs.This comparison, however will not be about technical specification, but rather a practical one.

For brevity’s sake, let us only consider the iPad2, the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and the Kindle Fire, the three most popular tablets out there.Right off the bat, it is important to say that among the three, the iPad is number one, the Galaxy Tab is number two and the Kindle Fire is number three in so many of the points of comparison.Screen size, price and features, three very important factors when comparing tablets all list the said models in the placements that we mentioned.And some people will stop right here and make a decision based solely on those factors.But is there not some very important things that have not been taken to account yet?How about the factor of how these tablets fit into your list of preferences and budget constraints?Those two should be considered.In fact, they should be the determining factors in your choice.

You see, there are many things that set each product apart from each other, from camera resolution to operating system, to many other technical differences.But for a person who really is not into the technical details and just wants something that will serve his purposes and fit his lifestyle, which is most of us, the technical variances of each product pales in comparison to just how well the product will fit to our lives.Let us put it this way, the iPad is the one packed with the most bells and whistles, the biggest one and the most popular one to date, the Galaxy Tab concentrates on offering an entirely different feel and is priced for mid-level consumers who cannot afford the price tag of the iPad while the Fire, the newest one, is positioned to give consumers a much more affordable Android tablet.
