The source for 2012 iPad, Android and tablet PC news, reviews and accessories guides
I was thinking today about tablets, about how consumers have found a way to use them despite numerous shortcoming and how lots of consumers don't look at specs when buying a new one. Personally, as a reviewer I tend to look at specs, features, compatibility and so on, but I know it's a flawed thinking, mainly because tablets are for technology challenged people, not for hackers and geeks. Those consumers don't know anything about MHz, gigabytes, multitasking, RAM size and all those things manufa...
If you need to buy a tablet today there aren't too many of them worthy of your consideration. Why I say 'need' instead of 'looking for'? Because it you are not in a hurry the best thing to do is wait for other brands to bring their models to market later this year, as there are a lot of goodies on the pipe.If that's not the case and you really need to make a purchase today the best tablet options you have are the iPad 2 and the Motorola Xoom. There are a lot of similarities between those two...
I remember the first tablets PCs, 10 years ago, with 14-15 inch screens that weight more than regular laptops. Things have changed a lot, as tablets have shrunk in size and weight, but not almost all tablets being lighter than 2 pounds, as there's still one niche, the 12 inch tablet one, where weight is not a primary concern, but functionality, so you often get 12 inch tablets that pass by the 2 pounds barrier.Since the 12 inch form factor is not the most interesting right now, from consumer...
If you followed closely the touch tablet niche in the past two year you surely have spotted a trend: companies announce various tablets that are not on market even after a few months after the initial announcement. The strongest sub-niche is the 10 inch tablet, which currently features the Apple iPad 2 at the crown (its screen is actually 9.7 inches) plus a lot of Android tablets trailing it, models that look really interesting and have raised consumer's attention to this growing segment making ...
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 ...
This is the first post of a monthly series that will try and present you with the best deals of touch tablets you can purchase at a given time. I'll take into consideration the price, features, availability and even popularity (don't know yet how I will do that) of various tablets. Of course, it'll be my pleasure to receive updates from you guys as I don't expect my list to be exhaustive. I will divide the list in tablet categories like slate tablets, convertible tablets, netbook tablets and suc...
