Just How Tough Are Today's Top Tablets? Lets Find Out! [Video]

Stop! What are you guys doing? I’ll take one of those! Occasionly one of these videos pop up, and we can only watch in horror as these guys destroy perfectly good gadgets. With this particular video from ElectronicsBreak, we get front row seats to see just how tough these tablets are, and apparently not so tough. The contenders are the Samsung Galaxy Tab, an iPad 2, and a Motorola XOOM.

One by one, from waist level, all tablets are dropped, face planting into what appears to be marble or concrete. While all devices are pretty much finished after hitting the not so forgiving ground, the iPad 2 definitely appears to be the most damaged. While the Galaxy Tab might have appeared to suffered the least, I don’t think anyone will be using this tablet anytime soon.

As you can see by the end of the video, this was a clever idea from SquareTrade to promote their insurance. After a video like this reminds you just how fragile our toys for adults are, you might consider SquareTrade for insurance on your sleek new tablet(or handset). If you ask me, SquareTrade has a good thing going on, and is definitely a better option for insurance, as the insurance offered by major carries like Verizon, are really not worth how much you pay into them.

After seeing this video, are you more likely to get insurance on your next device? Anyone have anything to say about SquareTrade? Be sure to share your thoughts with us, and check out this gut wrenching video.

I would really like a powerful Quad Core Samsung tablet that had the S Pen optimized screen AND a fully functional keyboard dock like the Asus Transfomer series. I have the Infinity now but would like a Samsung replacement even though I live my Asus to death, everything else I use is Samsung.

Of course it is time for a 10 inch Tab 3. Would compete with the newest iPads. And then a 8 inch tab 3 would be cool. Or 7.5 inch. They need those to compete with iPad mini. Besides I had the galaxy Tab 7, and it was awesome, make it thin and beautiful with real good specs. We’re all set.

  Samsung already introduced the Galaxy Note 8 to compete against the Ipad Mini. They even made a ad comparing the two. So the Galaxy Tab 3 Series will probably be targeted against the nexus 7 and other budget android tablets.

    Yes that’s right but it’s a Note. Coming with an s–pen. Which isn’t directly competing with iPad. But it does as well I guess

The Korean Manufacturers do just abandon tablets with no warning, Just look at what they did to my precious Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 P6800. To this day the Tab 7.7 is leaps and bounds ahead of the ipad mini and it came out over a year ago but, Samsung just red-haired step child this device. Can anybody out there tell me why? Why did Samsung hurt my Tab 7.7 so badly?
