Best Tablet PC Reviews, News and 2012 tablets

Be far the most innovative tablet concept we've seen in a while is the ASUS Padfone, which is gearing up for actual release in the weeks to come. ASUS released official info about the device bit by bit, and I think this was not a marketing scheme, but more of a we're still deciding on the hardware thing.Anyway, ASUS just released a long promotional video highlighting the most important specs and features of its new convertible smartphone/tablet/laptop (I think they should invent a new categ...

As tablets become increasingly popular more media consumption patters emerge, with consumers leaving aside their laptops and even big screen TVs in favour of the more compact slate tablets, which are great for the task, but not perfect.The New iPad 3 managed to raise the bar when it comes to screen quality, but sound quality is still below what you would call an audiophile level quality.

Toshiba sees it more like a tablet you put on your desk in a stand and watch movies or fo...

One of the important differences between a slate tablet and a PC Era computer is the multi-user support, a feature every Windows, Mac and Linux user enjoys. By having multiple users on the same device there's a clear separation of confidential/private date between the people using the same device. Multi user support is not necessary on smartphones for example, as these are single-user devices, very personal, but in the case of a tablet that's being shared by all family members (or work colleague...
