What good is a tablet, anyway? - First Arkansas News

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota
The Nook Tablet -- a highly modified Google Android OS, dual core CPU, 1 gigabyte of RAM and other noteworthy specs for $249. That's a great price, but do you really need one?

The past month has been fascinating for those following the tablet PC market thanks to a couple of major announcements — what with the Amazon Kindle Fire will be out on Nov. 15 for $199 and the Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet will arrive on Nov. 18 for $249.

Both devices boast impressive specs at close to impulse buy prices and have generated a lot of press. However, the question that pops up with these devices is whether someone carrying a smartphone needs one of the things.

Consider this. A good smartphone provides plenty of highly mobile computing power and will, in fact, do a lot of things a tablet will. Gaming, browsing the Internet, checking email and actually getting some work done is pretty easy with the right phone, so isn’t getting another device that does a lot of the same stuff almost redundant?

Yes, there’s always the argument that the extra real estate on a tablet makes it a snap to get some serious work done, but there’s a flaw in that logic. Virtual keyboards stink for doing any serious, document-length typing, thus limiting the appeal of those devices for a good number of us out there. Sure, one could buy a bluetooth keyboard and mouse to facilitate marathon typing sessions, but we’re not really talking about a tablet at that point. We’re roaming around in the netbook realm as soon as a full-sized keyboard is attached, and a capable netbook can often be found for $300 or less.

Ah, but the tablet does make a lot of sense when one considers they do some things that other portable devices — phones and netbooks — can’t handle quite as well. Both Amazon and Barnes & Noble appear to be on the right track in the way they promote their devices as they’re touting the portable media aspect of them.

Both the Kindle and Nook lines started out as digital readers and they excel in that function. While it’s very possible to use a phone as a reader, it’s hard to argue against the notion that the larger screens on tablets are better suited for reading. Part of the appeal there lies in the illusion of holding an actual book, and that illusion is shattered a bit when reading a book on a smartphone with it’s comparatively tiny screen. Furthermore, it’s simply more convenient to have a large screen that displays several paragraphs per page rather than one that shows a paragraph or two and has the user flipping pages almost constantly.

Speaking of reading, tablets simply handle reading them better. While there are some highly specialized readers from the likes of Marvel that show a panel at a time on a phone, a tablet does a great job of taking comic book pages in such a way that one can see everything on a page at once. Importing that old comic book collection to, say, an iPhone is possible, but it also calls for a bunch of zooming and panning around to appreciate the artwork in a comic book and actually read the story lines running through them.

Then, of course, there’s the notion of streaming movies and the like. While you can get, say, a Netflix app that streams video to an iPhone, squinting at a movie on a 3.5? screen simply isn’t as enjoyable as having an iPad or Android tablet that boasts a bigger screen and larger images. While Netflix may fare better on Androids with screens coming in at 4? or more, videos simply look better on larger screens on tablets.

Finally, the larger sizes of tablets can lead to more complex games, easier to read documents and a number of things that work well with larger screens.

By the way, books and comics are typically rendered more effective on tablets than on netbooks thanks to a screen that goes easily into portrait mode and reveal entire pages well. Books and comics are set up for portrait mode and you simply can’t get there with a netbook (unless, of course, the reader wants to turn his or her netbook on its side and find applications that will work with that arrangement.

Perhaps the most significant things about the Kindle Fire and the Nook is that they really don’t cost all that much compared to, say, higher end Android tablets or the Apple iPad. For those who want solid readers that stream video well, run a few applications and render comics well, the Kindle Fire and the Nook are both very appealing in terms of price and performance.

It’ll be telling, indeed, if both Amazon and Barnes & Noble appeal to people who want tablets but balk at shelling out $600 for an Apple  iPad 2. In that context, tablets offer unique enough experiences to justify grabbing yet another portable device. One has to wonder what impact the Fire and Nook will have on the Android market after those devices are available and the public is given the chance to put them through their paces.

HP Slate 2 Tablet PC Offers Windows at a Touch - eWeek

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

Hewlett-Packard may have abandoned its webOS-powered TouchPad, but it remains committed to Windows tablets. The HP Slate 2 Tablet PC, a 1.5-pound touch-screen device running Windows 7, will make its debut later in November for a starting price of $699.

The HP Slate 2 Tablet PC uses a 1.5GHz Intel Atom Z670 processor to power applications on its 8.9-inch screen. HP is playing up the device?s security features (including a TPM Embedded Security Chip) and an HP Slate Digital Pen that expands its input options beyond fingers. It is aimed at more of a business audience than the rest of the tablet market, which is overwhelmingly geared toward everyday consumers (with the expectation that those consumers will bring their devices into the enterprise, per the current trend).

The tablet is the successor to HP?s Slate 500, which released in late 2010 for $799. That 8.9-inch device came loaded with Windows 7 Professional, a single USB port, an SD card slot, front- and rear-facing cameras for video conferencing, 1.86GHz Intel Atom Z540 processor, 2GB of RAM, and 64GB of flash storage. It also came with Office 2010 and Evernote organizational software.  

Despite killing the TouchPad earlier this year, HP is intent on remaining in the tablet market. ?I think we need to be in the tablet business,? HP CEO Meg Whitman told analysts and reporters during an Oct. 27 conference call. ?We?re certainly going to be there with Windows 8, and we?re going to make a long-term decision about webOS.?

Todd Bradley, executive vice president of HP?s Personal Systems Group (PSG), also said during the call: ?We?re continuing to focus on a Microsoft tablet that we have and focus on Windows 8,? referring in the former case to a Windows 7 device targeted at the business community.

Due sometime in 2012, Windows 8 will pair the ?traditional? Windows desktop with another user interface based on a colorful set of tiles, with easy switching between the two. The tile-centric interface is meant to operate on tablets, which in turn will allow Microsoft to finally compete against Apple?s iPad in that segment.

HP has made no indication over the past few days that it will revive the TouchPad, which met with some critical praise but anemic sales following its July release in the United States. Six weeks after that debut, then-CEO Leo Apotheker announced HP was killing off the 9.7-inch tablet, as part of a major strategic realignment that also included the partial or full spin-off of PSG, the division responsible for manufacturing PCs. Whitman decided to keep PSG as a part of HP.

In the meantime, the HP Slate seems a preamble to the company?s real tablet push: Windows 8.

Greater Smartphone & Tablet PC Use To Drive 350 Per Cent Rise In Global Hotspots - Bernama

Greater Smartphone & Tablet PC Use To Drive 350 Per Cent Rise In Global Hotspots

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 9 (Bernama) -- Public Wi-Fi hotspots are set to grow by 350 per cent from 1.3 million around the world today to 5.8 million by 2015 following greater use of smartphones and tablet PCs, said the Wireless Broadband Alliance (WBA).

WBA, which focuses on driving the next generation Wi-Fi experience, said mobile data growth was a key factor in the rapid build-out of Wi-Fi hotspots.

This forecast does not include "community hotspots", where users share their own Wi-Fi access point with others, which add an additional 4.5 million hotspots worldwide, said the industry association in a report compiled by analyst firm Informa Telecoms & Media from a survey of 259 service providers and Wi-Fi vendors.

The survey found that smartphone connections to Wi-Fi hotspots will soon overtake laptops globally.

Laptops now represent less than half (48 per cent) of the connections to hotspots, smartphones account for 36 per cent and tablets 10 per cent.

In the Asia Pacific and North America, smartphones already outnumber laptop connections to hotspots.

WBA's report also highlighted that global mobile data traffic was expected to reach 16.84 million terabytes by 2014.

"Operators plan to manage the impact of this growth primarily through new pricing strategies and Wi-Fi-based offload," it said.

WBA said China Mobile planned to deploy a million hotspots and Japan''s KDDI aimed to grow its 10,000 Wi-FI hotspots to 100,000 within six months.

The survey found that that this growth will be concentrated in three types of location: wide-area outdoor hotzones like parks, local-area outdoor hotzones or popular tourist attractions and transport hubs like airports.

The findings also showed that 58 per cent of operators, including 47 per cent of mobile operators, believed that Wi-Fi hotspots were either very important or crucial to their customers' experience, offload busy mobile broadband networks and provide a value-added services platform.

The report also cited several barriers to adoption and use of public Wi-Fi hotspots. They include cumbersome authentication procedures, costs of access, user discovery of available networks and security.

For instance, one UK operator recently reported that only 20 per cent of its users access the free public hotspots available to them.

However, the WBA report said several challenges would be overcome by Next Generation Hotspots (NGH), which are currently undergoing trials internationally.

NGH allow users to seamlessly roam between cellular and Wi-Fi networks using their mobile handset's SIM card as authentication, reducing concerns about authentication, network discovery and security.

Operators are also reducing the cost of access by increasingly offering public Wi-Fi as part of broadband or cellular packages.

Chris Bruce, Chair of the WBA and Chief Executive Officer, BT Openzone, said,"The findings show we are about to enter the golden age of public Wi-Fi with hotspot deployments set to soar."

There's not that long to wait for some Windows 8 tablets, according to Bloomberg.

A Samsung top bod told the news agency it'd bring out Windows 8 PCs next year. And the first will most probably be a modified version of the Samsung Series 7 tablet PC, the pricey slate that's due a touchscreen-friendly OS upgrade.

The modified Samsung Series 7 tablet will come out in the second half of 2012, Samsung's head of sales and marketing Uhm Kyu Ho said in an interview. And good news if you already own a Series 7: Samsung will offer you an update to Windows 8, said Nam Seong Woo, head of Samsung's PC business. Though there was no word on when the update will be available.

The Series 7 is aimed at business bods, according to Woo. It runs Windows 7 -- in our hands-on we weren't too impressed, seeing as the OS wasn't really built for the touchscreens seen on tablets. Plus the hardware costs around a grand. Though it does have a pretty meaty processor and plenty of RAM.

Microsoft unveiled Windows 8 back at the end of September. It looks to unite tablet and desktop computers, which could really change things, if successful. And as we all know, that's a big 'if.' It follows the tile-based UI of Windows Phone -- apps from the mobile OS could even work on it, according to the boss of chip manufacturer Nvidia. Not only that, it could have its very own phone features. Is there any limit to its skills?

A phone set to run the OS has also been announced, with quite ridiculous specs. Seriously, have a look. Makes the iPhone look like the Amstrad Emailer.

Are you looking forward to Windows 8? What would you like to see? Let us know on our Facebook page.

While the Transformer Prime is extremely slim and light, ASUS did not forget about battery life. Thanks to the advanced power management features of the Tegra® 3 processor and ASUS optimizations the Transformer Prime has a battery life of up to 12 hours*, but when combined with the mobile dock, it lasts up to an incredible 18 hours*, the longest battery life of any current tablet. That’s enough battery life for a trans-ocean flight, all-night game session, viewing several movies on a long road trip or even video recording, editing, and then playing back your child’s school play all in 1080P HD clarity.

Unrivaled Visuals
The Eee Pad Transformer Prime boasts a wide 178° viewing angle IPS display, protected by Corning® Gorilla® Glass, which features new ASUS technology to enhance the brightness of the screen for a better outdoor reading experience while still offering a remarkably vivid and brilliant viewing experience of photos, books, videos, movies and web pages indoors. Thanks to Multi-Touch technology, you can use your fingers to do everything from swiping through photos, surfing the web, playing the latest games, typing emails, instant messaging, reading books or magazines, and starting your favorite movie.

A 1.2MP front camera allows for instant photos or high-quality video conferencing with friends, family or coworkers while an 8MP rear camera with auto-focus and LED flash takes brilliant photos or video thanks to a large F2.4 aperture, back illuminated CMOS sensor, touch-to-focus depth of field and low-light noise reduction to provide the clearest and sharpest photos or even 1080P HD videos.

Advanced Audio
The Transformer Prime offers impressive audio capabilities in a tablet, powered by ASUS exclusive SonicMaster technology, renowned for crisp and acoustically accurate audio. It produces crystal clear sound with a wide sound stage, increased audio fidelity, and distinct vocal enhancements for an immersive audio experience with your favorite music track, video, or movie.

Unlimited Productivity
The Transformer Prime is offered with either 32GB or 64B flash storage options for quick, efficient and reliable access to your applications. Both models feature a micro SD card slot, 3.5mm combo audio jack and micro HDMI port so sharing both what’s inside and on-screen is quick and easy. However, the function that gives the Transformer Prime its namesake is the mobile dock, which gives new meaning to the term versatility. This innovative and convenient design seamlessly provides the user with a keyboard and touchpad, along with limitless expandability options via the USB port and SD card slot.

ASUS will include several innovative applications like SuperNote that is fantastic for its ability to take, draw or record notes and Polaris® Office which is great for staying productive with the ability to read, edit or create Word, Excel and PowerPoint (MS Office 97-2007) compatible files. Thousands of top rated applications and games are also available at Android Market that fully takes advantage of the Transformer Prime’s amazing features and power.

*Battery life will vary based on usage patterns and options.
**Pricing will vary by country and SKU. North American MSRP pricing listed.

Dell Latitude ST tablet PC available for order with shipments starting on Nov ... - Tablets Planet

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota
Posted on 06. Nov, 2011 by TabletMan in Tablets

The 10.1? Dell Latitude ST tablet PC is available now for orders online through dell.com, the Windows 7 tablet PC for business professions starts at $859. Dell offers the new slate for purchase but they won’t ship any orders until November 29th, 2011.

Dell’s new Latitude ST slate combines a 10.1-inch 1280×800 capacitive touchscreen, a N-Trig active digitizer and digital pen, a low-power 1.65GHz Intel Atom Z670 single-core processor, up to 6 hours of battery life and business-class security to create what Dell calls the ideal mobile solution for professionals.

Other options for a mobile professional come in the form of the 8.9-inch HP Slate 2 and the 10.1-inch Fujitsu STYLISTIC Q550. Both the HP and Fujitsu slates offer business-ready features at prices that start well below $1000. The HP Slate 2 is the most recent competitor between the two non-Dell options, the HP was only revealed the other day and it will be replacing the almost one year old HP Slate 500.

When compared one realizes that each of these three Windows 7 tablet PCs comes with the same 1.65GHz Intel Atom Z670 single-core processor, an IPS LCD with an active digitizer, and all three also ship with speedy SSDs (flash memory based) storage for the OS and system storage.

The HP Slate 2 will go on sale later this month with a $699 starting price, the Fujitsu STYLISTIC Q550 is available now and starts at $729 direct from Fujitsu.
