SquareTrade, an alternative warranty supplier for popular electronics, has posted a new video that compares the damage inflicted when dropping three popular tablets from waist height. The company tested the iPad 2, Motorola Xoom, and Samsung Galaxy, dropping each from waist height in succession. SquareTrade found that the iPad 2 and Xoom fared the worst of the three, while the lighter Samsung Galaxy survived with minimal screen damage. All three of the devices still ran after the drops; however, the glass damage on each made touching potentially dangerous.
