All the three tablets support dual core processor, meaning capable of performing two tasks in a time. Android is actually an open source software which is in charged by Google, but iOS 5 is Apple’s proprietary OS mobile platform designed for iPad with more over 140,000 apps available.
Apple doesn’t specify how much memory it contains for iPad. Both Galaxy tab and Xoom include 1GB memory for computing processes. You can configure the internal storage each of the tablet from 16GB to 64GB memory. Apple introduces iCloud to let you store all your documents including multimedia files in the cloud wirelessly and seamlessly. You can access them anytime everywhere by your iPad, iPhone or iTunes.
Unlike iPad with iCloud, Samsung offers you Samsung Media Hub app which is preloaded to your Samsung Galaxy so can enjoy all the collections of movies and TV shows and other favorite programs instantly – the day after they on air and other past seasons.
iPad and Xoom are powered by Lithium-polimer battery which can last for averagely 10 hours, but Galaxy can last for averagely 8 hours.

All the three tablets support dual band Wi-Fi adapter. This is ideal in connecting to your high performance simultaneous dual band routers such as Netgear Wndr4500 N900 router or Linksys E4200 N750 router. Both routers support simultaneous dual band optimized for multimedia streaming.
