The search engine giant has teamed up with Samsung to make a new Tablet PC. PC tablet war has continued. iPad gets heavy competition. Is this going to be a heavy blow to the iPad? See, I invite Samsung competitor of Apple to make products that work similar to the iPad. Google has declared its Nexus 10 tablet. The Nexus 10 features a 10.1-inch PLS (plane-to-line switching) panel with 2,560x1, 600-pixel resolution, displaying 299 pixels per inch (ppi). This declaration comes not a week after Apple announced its fourth-generation iPad, which launches later this week with a lower 2,048x1, 536-pixel-resolution, 264ppi screen.

The resolution seems high compared to most tablets made by competitors. Better than the Retina Display on the iPad that bears a resolution of 2048 x 1536 pixels.
