And this came in light of the fact that what we knew at the time did nothing to assure us. However, over the weekend, Anandtech put all that to rest? What's the answer? Let's use some math reference. Is "Zoom > iPad 2 > iPad"? No. It's more like "Zoom > iPad" but "iPad 2 >>>>>> Zoom"! That right, in Anandtech's review of the speed test, year-old iPad, while slower than the Zoom, held its own against the more recent Nvidia Tegra 2 powered Android tablet, the iPad 2 really blew away the Zoom is a few of the benchmarks.
