The clock is ticking, getting us closer to the 30th edition of Computex, the annual IT trade show that takes place in Taipei, the capital of Taiwan. It's the show to attend if you want to see what Asia plans for this year in the IT field. I've been there a few times and all I can say is that it's something different from the shows in Europe and USA, because of the culture, the way people act and the fact that Computex is in the heart of the IT industry, as many big names have their headquarters ...

I bet you can guess the obvious answer, but don't have a clue about the right one. As teachers tell us, the obvious is not always correct and the same stands for the question in the title of this post. So, you see two tablets in an online store, specs are similar (or even identical) and prices differ a bit. You tend to go for the cheaper one but that's not always the best choice and in this post I'll tell you why. First, the thing is that specs are a simplification of what a product can do for y...

A lot of you have shown interest in the cheap tablets presented here on AllTouchTablet and one of the cheapest (without loosing on the specs front) is the Archos 7 Home Tablet, which we've presented in a few posts here and there.Now, that it will be available for customers to buy in a few days (preorder here), on May 17th to be precise, is time to write a comprehensive review based on all the info available and the published reviews from the ones that got the chance to play with the Archos 7...

Have you ever used a touch screen phone or mobile device and find yourself frustrated because of small UI touch elements that can't be selected with ease? What about two completely different options that are too close to each other and instead of renaming  a file you accidentally delete it? That's because there's not a standard for how touch user interfaces should be made. Of course different manufacturers have their own guidelines, but there's no universal rule and this has one big effect on c...

It's the start of a new month and I thought of making a list of the best tablets you can find in stores now. I've written about most of them so there's plenty of info here (an all over the web for that matter) about each and every one of them. All you need to do is pick the one that better suits your style and, of course, needs.So let's not kill the pace by rambling about what this top is about. I'll tell you what it's not: it's not a ranking of some kind, but a mere 'gathering' of the ones ...

Touch tablets and slate tablets in particular are the most important new gadgets launched this year and we must give credit to Apple for starting the rumors about a new kind of device that would revolutionize the way we consume media in out spare time.Now that the iPad is here and quite a few manufacturers have followed Apple it's time to draw the line and see what's the status: are tablets good enough for multiple types of usage patterns or are they constricted to browsing, reading emails a...

Remember the Intel Convertible Classmate netbook tablet, with its full name CTL 2go Convertible Classmate PC NL2? We've presented it here and here on All Touch Tablet.com. Now it's shipping, with prices starting 499$.You might think it's a little too much for a netbook tablet, but price is not that bad considering it's a rugged tablet and we want extra protection for a gadget we know our kids will use, don't we?While it seems that a 599$ version with Windows 7 preinstalled and 32 GB SSD ...

Everybody loves tablets, as they are the revelation of 2010, the new gadget that promises to change the mobile game. This I believe will make smartphones a little jealous, but won't cut into their market share, and there are reasons for that.Even if a lot of people believe touch tablets are better than smartphones at every task you might imagine there are a few reasons people won't ditch their intelligent phones for a large screen pad just because you can browse better on them.So, here's...

Netvertible is a term that defines a convertible tablet PC with netbook hardware inside. It's not an official term, but this also happens with touch tablets, which don't have really an official naming yet. A netvertible is the best choice when it comes to buying a tablet PC shaped computer with the advantages that derive from the netbook specifications: size, battery life and price. To be frank with you there are also downsides to a netbook tablet PC and the biggest is performance, or the lack o...

Touch tables are not a tabu subject here as we've talked about them quite a few times. But they are sensitive when you talk about pricing, which is situated usually North of 10.000 $ mark, some even doubling or tripling this number, so if you're a fan you'll probably stay this way if you don't do something like building your own touch table for cheap. 1500-2500$ is not exactly cheap today, but it is way cheaper than waiting for Microsoft Surface to get down to a manageable price.All you'll n...
