Here is a list of all the tablets, I want one that's preferably ten inches, touchscreen (of course), has an app store, The cheapest and best one I can find is the nook color. It's main purpose is to read


Hi, Jordan, I'd recommend something for half the price of iPad but that'll give you all that you need from a tablet - portability, apps, music, video, and a great screen. It's Nook Color from Barnes & Noble that is the best value of the current tablet

Aug 07, 2011 by jdog | Posted in Laptops & Notebooks

We all know that ever since the iPad came out, there has been a vicious tablet war going on, and i'm in the middle in it because i'm wondering which one I should get. I think I maybe leaning toward an


I would get either the Acer Icona Tab or the iPad because they are made by computer company's and all of the other tablets have been known to clog up with Information and become slow and not work as well

Should I wait for Windows 8 next year before buying a Windows tablet?

May 18, 117 by num_lock_er | Posted in Laptops & Notebooks

Hi there are available Windows 7 tablets now (w/ keyboard), Acer Iconia W500 Dual Core AMD Fusion and Asus EP121 icore5 (1st gen). I will use it using MS Office, Internet and as a video player hooked in


The problem with windows 8 is it isnt released yet. Not even a pubic beta, so we wouldnt know if it works good. It sucks to wait a year only to find windows 8 to fail (like vista did).

But, personally, i think it's worth the wait. Windows

Acer Iconia A100 Review by 3G.co.uk

Feature set summary for Acer Iconia A100 review

This is a Wi-Fi-only device, so you may want to look at a more expensive alternative. Also, there isn't much in the way of onboard apps, so you'll need to download your own choices. However, it does a neat job of things such as contacts and email and has usable front and rear-facing snappers - for a price of around £250.

 

Style and handling summary for Acer Iconia A100 review

The A100 is quite heavy but has a neat shape that allows it to fit inside a jacket pocket

 

Battery power summary for Acer Iconia A100 review

You should get around eight hours from a full charge, which is fine if you're running apps such as Skype or logging into Twitter, but for power-hungry tasks such as viewing videos, the power will drain far quicker.

Two Android tabs for under $200

18.05.86

Hi,

I think that I  kind of agree with alot in this article.  Although I have an Android Tablet I have to admit that its a very useful but not really an essential device.  It is especially when travelling or for simple websurfing and email usage, but it doesn't really fully replace a laptop, desktop, or my Windows running Tablet.

Because these app running tables really seem to be somewhat limited devices, and I can't see that paying $500 to $1000 or more for any of the current devices on the market would be a viable option for a lot of people.

So seeing more models under $200 (especially with capacitive screens) seems like they might make them more attractive to many others, and because then I think that the prices might be more in line with the limited capabilities and uses that they can perform.  Though maybe if they can be brought down to $150 or less that would be even better,   (I only bought mine Android Tablet because it was on sale for about $165, due to it being a discontinued model (and the fact that it only has a resistive screen).

Quad-core processor loaded tablets coming this year: Nvidia

18.05.11

Google Android OS loaded tablets running quad-core Nvidia processor will be released later this year, Forbes quoted Nvidia's chief executive officer Jen-Hsun Huang as saying.

Currently, most of the tablets come with a single core processor while few new devices like Samsung Galaxy Tab and Acer Iconia come with dual core processors. If the said Android tablet indeed come with a quad-core processor than it will lend huge computing power to the device — enhancing its multitasking capability by multifold.

Nvidia's next generation quad-core mobile platform processor — Tegra 3 System-on-a-Chip (SoC), currently codenamed as Project Kal-El, will be shown by the end of this year. Next year, we may get to see quad-core processors running smartphones as well.

The new Acer Iconia A-500 Tablet is portraying its self as the bulky and more to offer rather than sticking to the company practice of jamming in the basics in the most smallest of sizes.
