Apple's revamped iPad, the iPad 2, is definitely an improvement over the original iPad. But when compared head to head against the Motorola Xoom, the Xoom still wins. Here's why.

As I explained in a previous blog, Eight factors the Motorola Xoom beats the iPad, the Xoom is far superior to the original iPad. And now that the iPad 2 has been announced, it is clear that the Xoom is superior to the new iPad, for almost all of the identical factors.

The main new additions to the iPad consist of a dual-core processor and front and rear cameras, so in those instances, it is caught up to the Xoom. The new svelter and slightly thinner design is good as well. A gyroscope has been added, which the Xoom already has. And software tweaks, via the new iOS four.three, are welcome as properly.

But that nonetheless leaves the Xoom a far better tablet than the iPad. Start with the operating method. With iOS four.three, iOS was tweaked but didn't get a dramatic overhaul. Android 3., named Honeycomb, is just better than the iOS for a number of factors. It handles notifications, multi-tasking and app switching much better. The widgets still outpace anything on the iOS. And Honeycomb has more functions and is much more customizable. The iOS four.three tweaks did absolutely nothing to change any of that.

The Chrome-like browser built into Xoom trumps the Safari operating on the iPad two. Xoom's browser sports tabs, will sync bookmarks with PC, Mac, and Linux versions of Chrome, and utilizes a single box for typing URLs and searching.

Xoom, of course, will be able to play Flash fairly soon. The iPad 2 will by no means do it. Clearly, being able to run Flash is greater than being banned from running Flash.

When you buy an iPad two, you'll be topic to the whims of what Apple desires you to download and doesn't want you to download. Want to be able to get information from the WikiLeaks web site utilizing an app, for example? Don't attempt doing it on your iPad 2 --- Apple has banned any app from letting you do that. It bans a lot of other apps as properly. With the Xoom, you can download and use any app you want.

Lastly, the Xoom's built-in apps such as Gmail, Google Maps, and Google Calendar still trump anything built into the iPad 2. and employing the Xoom's Tegra 2 chip, you get nifty new capabilities, such as vector graphics and 3D rendering in Google Maps.
