Is it easier to create text documents on the iPad or the Toshiba Folio 100?
I would say that without a doubt, the iPad wins hands down on this. On the iPad, you are able to download Pages; a word processing app which was originally created as part of the iWork suite for Mac computers. This is now extended to the iPad, together with its counterparts, Numbers and Keynote.
On Pages, you are able to create and edit word documents and also sync them to your computer through iTunes. In addition, Pages also allows you to save text documents to various extensions such as . RTF, .
PDF and .DOC. On the Toshiba Folio however, the “stock†apps that come with the Folio are little, and do not include any word processing or text editing app. In addition, there is also no access to Google’s Android Market, which means that you can’t install any Android apps on it.
There is however, a Toshiba Market, but apps are extremely limited on it. You can download the “Documents To Go†application for the Android (http://www.dataviz.com/products/documentstogo/android/index.html?device_id=751), but the jury is still out on whether this will work well on the Toshiba Folio. This is because Google does not allow any Android apps for the Toshiba due to compatibility concerns.
BERLIN--Samsung's Galaxy Tab got a lot of the attention Thursday, but Toshiba had an Android tablet of its own to debut here at the IFA electronics show: the Folio 100. Tablet device on the market today. And where Samsung will sell the Tab only through phone companies as a kind of smartphone on steroids, Toshiba's Folio will like the iPad come in 3G and non-3G models when it goes on sale in Europe in the fourth quarter.
The Folio will cost 399 euros (about $511) for the version with just Wi-Fi networking; the 3G version price jumps to 499 euros (about $639). It's got a 10.1-inch multitouch screen with 1024x600-pixel resolution, an Nvidia Tegra processor, stereo speakers, a 1.3-megapixel Webcam, two USB ports, an SD card slot, an HDMI connector for sending video to other screens, Bluetooth communications, and 16GB of memory. It weighs 760 grams--about the same as an iPad with 3G abilities.
The Folio's battery lasts seven hours when being used 65 percent for Web browsing, watching video for 10 percent, and idling for 25 percent, Toshiba said. Android applications available, the Folio 100 also comes with the Opera Mobile Web browser, the FBReader e-book reader software, Documents To Go for productivity suite, Evernote for taking notes, Adobe's Flash Player 10.1 for running Flash apps, and Fring for video chat. Most of these are useful, so let's hope this doesn't portend the migration to Android of the crapware that bogs down (and subsidizes) many Windows PCs.
I found the Folio 100 to be comfortable to hold and easy enough to use for basic tasks. Its performance didn't jump out at me, and pushing buttons seemed to come with a lag I'm used to on phones, but applications loaded reasonably fast. I found the interface easy to dive into--but then, I'm already familiar with Android quirks, such as how to make the virtual keyboard pop up when you need it and go away when you're done.
The Folio 100 also taps into the Toshiba Place service. Toshiba Place provides a number of elements. First, it lets people log on to a single site that can then post content elsewhere, including Facebook and DailyMotion.
Second, it's got the Market Place to buy music, videos, e-books, games, news, and other content that's available on all Toshiba Places-equipped devices. That includes Folios, Toshiba laptops, and some TVs. The music service is powered by 7Digital, Toshiba said.
Like the Samsung Galaxy Tab, the Folio uses Android 2.2, aka Froyo. One thing different from mobile phones, though, is the inclusion of a home button in the upper-left of the screen to take a user to the full list of applications. As with phones, swiping left or right shows new applications.
The Toshiba Folio 100 was launched in 2010 to a lukewarm reception. The reason for this is that even though it boost of a 10†screen, Google’s Android platform did not allow for apps to be run on such a huge screen. As such, there is no Android Market on the Toshiba Folio 100.
Instead, with the Toshiba Folio you will get a Toshiba Market Place (with 1800 apps), Fring, as well as Documents To Go. Documents To Go is an Android app which allows the user to create and edit documents on the go. You will be able to create presentations with these as well, though this is only so on the paid version.
On the iPad, you will be able to download Keynote from the App store at $9.99. You will also be able to create presentations with this, and share it with other computers through email or iTunes. In comparing the two though, it would be easier to create documents on the iPad simply because Keynote has better effects and transitions compared to Powerpoint.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
