Rankled by Tim Cook’s use of a Galaxy Tab to demonstrate Android’s weak Twitter app during the iPad launch event last night, Samsung has retaliated by sending out a comparison chart pitting the new iPad versus the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1.

In an argument that essentially boils down to ‘we’ve got a stylus and Apple hasn’t’, Samsung points out that the Note 10.1 is “optimised for precision writing/drawing” and allows you to “write as you would with pen/pencil and paper” using the bundled S Pen.

It also bigs up the Note’s ability to view two apps at the same time, work with them side-by-side and cut and paste content between them.

In a footnote, Samsung goes on to say that the Galaxy Note 10.1 is “lighter and thinner than the new iPad”, has USB host functionality and a microSD slot.
