One of the first things off the bat is the dimensions.
iPad 2
- Height: 9.50 inches (241.2 mm)
- Width: 7.31 inches (185.7 mm)
- Depth: 0.34 inch (8.8 mm)
- Weight: 1.33 pounds (601 g)
- Screen size: 9.7 inch
PlayBook
- Height: 5.1 inches (130 mm)
- Width: 7.6 inches (194 mm)
- Depth: 0.4 inch (10 mm)
- Weight: 0.9 pounds (425 g)
- Screen size: 7 inch
This means the iPad 2 weighs more but still is thinner then the PlayBook. The difference in width of the devices is only .29 inches. This makes the iPad 2 wider, but you get a BIGGER screen! The only other difference here is the height. The iPad 2 is also longer, still making the screen BIGGER!
Next we have the techie stuff!

The iPad 2 does not hold up so well with these specs. The screen of the iPad 2 is hands down better then the PlayBook. It has a higher resolutions, it has better multi-touch technology in my opinion, and the screen is BIGGER! The processors of the two devices are going to be about the same, but the PlayBook has double the RAM of the iPad 2. The video recording is going to be much better on the PlayBook then the iPad 2. The only two things left are the battery and the connectors. The iPad 2 beats the PlayBook over battery life. The connectors on the PlayBook are universally accepted connectors, the one on the
iPad is Apples proprietary connector.
