Best Tablet PC Reviews, News and 2012 tablets

Apple not only introduced new features with the iOS 5 software update, but also improved on the features of some default apps. One of these apps is the Safari Browser which got tweaked for performance.Safari mobile also received two important features that we're going to detail in this post:  a tab bar for easy access to opened sites and a reading list for temporary bookmarks you want to read later. So let's see them: The tab bar This is the most obvious addition to Safari in iOS5. It's...

RIM announced last year at Blackberry DevCon the Playbook tablet, a business&multimedia tablet that failed to impress at launch time in 2011 due to unfinished operating system, lack of basic features like email, calendar and contacts. A few long months later down the road we're still waiting for the Software Update 2.0 which should bring all these much needed improvements together with the Android player, a software emulator that will allow consumers to run Android apps on RIM's tablet.T...

One of the most important features of iOS 5, as introduced by Apple, is iTunes WiFi Sync, an important new move towards total independence of tablets from computers, the devices Apple hopes to replace (PCs, as Apple doesn't want to kill Macs... just yet).What iTunes WiFi Sync does is pretty simple: syncs your iPad with your iTunes installation without having to physically connect the two. All you need is a WiFi network, an iPad and a computer/Mac, both connected to the same  network. Once y...

Remember the last week rumor about a mini iPad, a dumbed down version of the current iPad 2 meant as a cheap Apple tablet to compete with the Kindle Fire? Apparently the iPad Mini will be a smaller size tablet, not a product with weaker hardware, which is something we applaud, even if Steve Jobs has said last year that a 7 inch form factor is not good enough to allow for comfortable touch use with current software.How do we know this? Apple just ordered a few samples of 7.85 inch screens ...

The first gen iPad is still a formidable tablet, even after Apple improved it with the launch of the iPad 2. While you can't officially get a new iPad 1 from Apple anymore, the company still sells refurbished models, and since they're always in stock it means you can still get a good tablet for a bargain price.Now Apple has sweeten the deal even more, as for a limited time you can get a refurbished iPad 1 for $100 less that it was before. Details of the clearance event are here. So if you wa...

Because the iPad 2 is so slim and light when I look for an iPad 2 case I always try and get a compact tight fit model to complement the 10 inch tablet and not defy the whole purpose of its simple design.Trident Aegis [official page] is definitely one such case, a combination of black silicone and coloured polycarbonate plastic that hides a few surprises. So let's review this good looking skin for iPad 2 and see if it's worth your attention. Construction and mounting procedure As with most...

One of the features of iOS 5 teased during the official presentation of the update is the split keyboard for iPad and iPad 2. It makes it very easy to type with your thumbs in landscape and portrait modes. Up until now for efficient typing you had to either place the iPad on your lap and try to touch type or hold it with one hand and type with the other.I almost forgot about this feature, as I try my best not to type too much on my iPad 2, but it's a feature worth trying by those who type a...

Let's start the week with what we've missed the last one, small bits of news that you might be interested in, or not. I'm not sure if we'll go this path each week here on AllTouchTablet, but surely is worth a try.Let's start first with Dell, who recently declared they won't be making Android tablets too soon, preferring to focus on Windows 8 tablets, an OS that shows much promise to them. Apparently Dell was not impressed at all with how their Streak 5 and 7 tablets were perceived by the pu...

Even if the iPad 3 was not officially announced yet, people are talking about it quite a lot, including us here at All Touch Tablet. Since the first and second generations of the Apple tablet were a huge success it's normal for everyone to turn their heads towards the next reincarnation.Since Apple is not used to give a heads up for any of their products before the actual official announcement we'll have to rely on rumors, backed up by various reports, insider info and studies the press and ...

This is the second Waterfield case we've been testing here at AllTouchTablet.com, after the Muzetto leather bag. I have to say I'm again impressed by the build quality and the overall finish of the product. This time we're going to take a look at the SFBags Waterfield iPad Ultimate SleeveCase [official product page], a cheaper product meant to carry your 10 inch slate tablet in style.Even if it's called iPad Ultimate SleeveCase, the bag is able to carry similarly sized 10 inch tablets (mind ...
