I've been reading lots of reports lately about netbook sales which have started to plummet as tablets started to take over consumers preferences. I'm pretty sure no analyst would have predicted this before the launch of the iPad.Right now the situation is not that desperate, as for example in 2011 ASUS has sold three netbooks for each tablet, with other manufacturers probably experiencing similar ratios, but this doesn't take into account the few dozen millions iPad's sold this year. ASUS kn...

With the IT industry being fast paced as it is, it's normal to see some specs being improved year after year, and the screen resolution is one of the specs taking a huge leap since the introduction of tablets, as it's now normal to see 1280 x 800 px resolutions on 10 inch displays of even smaller (8.9", 7.7" and even 5" as the case with Samsung Galaxy Note).But the thing is our vision is not improving at the same pace with the technology we're using on a daily basis. Higher resolutions tend ...

Deciding which tablet to buy is not always a matter of price and specs. If you go only for price you might find yourself spending more money after the initial purchase to get accessories, apps, or simply another tablet that meets your demands. Going for specs is also bad, since the software is the one that matters most today. Without it a tablet is worthless. See the Playbook example, a small 7 inch slate with great specs, but let down by the operating system and the lack of apps.That's why ...

If you're not one of the consumers who wishes an iPad as a Christmas gift (most of you are) and you still want a tablet there are quite a few options out there, especially for those on a tight(er) budget. That's why I though of putting together this quick comparison article with today's cheap 7 inch tablets that might interest you: the Kindle Fire from Amazon, Nook Tablet from Barns and Noble and Vox from Kobo.First let's start with a comparison of the specs, the thing that seems to matter l...

As the Christmas shopping season is approaching consumers who saved money throughout the year to take advantage of best deals are now facing tough competition in the tablet market, which of course rises the question: which tablet should I buy?.I could point you to the AllTouchTablet favorite lists for cheap Android tablets, 7 inch models or 10 inch slates, but in this post we're going to take a look at the newly released Amazon Kindle Fire and Nook Tablet, pitted together against the tablet ...

Yesterday was a busy day for Amazon, which announced lots of new products including the Kindle Fire tablet and new Kindle eReaders. I'm not going to take you through the specs again, as I've did it yesterday (click the two links in this paragraph for details on the new 2011 products).Instead I've placed a comprehensive table at the end of this post, taken from Amazon, which compares all current models and details the most important features. Prices vary from $79 to $199 for the new models to...

Now that Windows 8 started to bite into iOS territory it's normal for someone to pit together the two operating systems and compare them at the following chapters: lock screens, icons and movement, customization, browsers (Safari vs. IE 10), keyboard head to head, settings and control panel, built in search.I'm sure you can find more features worth comparing, but I guess the 11 minutes video at the end of this post (courtesy of Winrumors) is in-depth enough to be worth watching. The t...

If I am to name the best tablet manufacturer in 2011 and have to leave Apple aside I would have to name ASUS with it EEE Pad Slider SL101 and EEE Pad Transformer TF101 tablets, both 10 inch form factor, both with hardware keyboards (one integrated, one optional with included battery). So it's clear those two address a slightly different market than the iPad 2 and manage to stand out thanks to the added functionality.This post is meant as a comparison between the two, to help you pick the on...

Dell Streak 10 is the logical successor to the Streak 5 and 7 tablets launched by Dell last year and early in 2011. It's a typical 10 inch tablet with the dual core Nvidia Tegra 2 platform @1GHz, with 1 GB RAM, dual cameras, GPS and a 10.1 inch display bearing the same 1280 x 800 pixels resolution as all 10 inch Honeycomb tablets on market today.As we've speculated before, Dell will launch the Streak 10 tablet first in China, a market where the company has an active presence, which means we ...

One of the apps I found myself using most on the Blackberry Playbook and iPad tablets is the browser, as there's always something I want to check out or just read various pages from the comfort of my sofa. That's why I've decided to pit together the two tablets in browsing speed, to see which one delivers the best experience overall.As users perception varies and a scientific measurement doesn't always reveal the true story I've decided to put together a video where I load various websites a...
