iPad 2 vs. business class tablets
iPad2 is the gold standard, but Fujitsu Stylistic and GammaTech
Durabook are strong contenders

Tech lovers have been flocking to the iPad 2 and other
tablets in order to watch movies, read books, surf the Web
and make video calls on the latest, greatest, thinnest,
lightest, coolest devices. But where do tablets fit within the
enterprise?
We tested 10 tablets to see which had the strongest set of
business-related features. Our test subjects ranged from the
high-end $1,699 GammaTech Durabook (a tablet/notebook
hybrid) to the $279 Archus 70 and everything in between,
including tablets from Fujitsu, RIM, Acer, ViewSonic,
Toshiba, Motorola and, of course, Apple. We even tested a
$79 no-name tablet from China.
We focused on business-related features, such as business-
oriented programs and apps, security components,
developer programs poised towards the enterprise, and accessories targeting business use. We also looked at
battery life and Java-based browser performance.
Tablet throwdown: Amazon Kindle Fire vs. Apple iPad 2
Two tablets stood out: Fujitsu's Stylistic, and the GammaTech Durabook. Apple's market setting iPad2 has
obvious strengths, but also suffers from a mixed feature set. Here are the individual reviews:

it lacks several features that we feel are important.
