Drop Test: iPad 2 Vs Motorola Xoom Vs Samsung Galaxy Tab

We’ve seen what happens when a Smart-Covered iPad 2 endures serious abuse. But how do different tablets fare in the same test? The people responsible for the last stress test dropped an iPad, Xoom and Galaxy Tab to find out.

And the the iPad 2 revealed itself as the most delicate of the three tablets, with a screen that was unrecognisable after the damage was done.
