Q. What I mean to ask is, how come people say that Android tablets like Samsung Galaxy are more likely to get virus or malware than an Apple tablet?
A. It is somewhat of a myth to think that there are no malware issues on the iPad. Of course, compared to Android tablets, iPad viruses are almost non-existent but they do exist (mostly as malware apps) and can be dangerous if your iPad is jailbroken. The nature of security on Apple vs Android is about perspective as much it is about technology.

What makes the iPad different is that it has been built from the ground up to be a closed-OS tablet which makes it more secure than Samsung Galaxy and other Android tablets. iPad apps too need to be digitally signed and can be downloaded only from the App Store.
They also run in their own space (think of the "sandboxie" program in Windows which separates specific program operations from the main OS. iPad has that from the start).
In terms of security, I've found iPad and Amazon Kindle Fire to be relatively secure tablet devices.
Which Tablet is the best for Reading Books Electroniclly?
Q. I was wondering what tablets are good for reading e-books and other electronic media. I have no preference to the operating system. I would like the screen size to be over 9 inches and it has to have at least a SD card slot and Wifi. I know their are several models that are out their like the Ipad, Motorola Xoom, Samsung Galaxy tab, and the upcoming Toshiba Thrive tablet. Does anybody have any recommendations based off experience and reliable knowledge? Thanks.
A. None of the tablets are ideal for long-run reading because all of them have LCD displays. Tablets tend to be better at web browsing, apps, and games. They can pass as ereaders, but for reading, the display is key. Ereaders with E Ink Pearl displays offer the most paper-like view of the page. Tablets with LCD displays offer a computer-monitor-like reading experience.
Kindle DX has an E Ink Pearl 9.7 display and will fit your needs well, assuming long-run reading is more important to you than web browsing, movies, and other non-reading apps. If long-run reading isn't as important to you as these other functions, then you should select another criteria to differentiate your preference in tablets as displaying electronic books isn't what any of the LCD tablets do well.
What kind of tablet should I buy?
Q. I'm in the market for a new tablet but these days there are so many available. I'm going to be using it for mostly reading but I would also like it to be versatile. I'm personally an Android person but willing to switch it up however not much of an Ipad fan. I think I've narrowed it down between the Google Nexus 7, the Kindle Fire HD,or the new Microsoft Surface. However I have also been looking at the Samsung Galaxy Note 10". Any suggestions?
A. get the Microsoft surface RT
it really is an amazing tablet
it has a 10.6" screen with very good and high resolution
colors look clear and sharp on it
the tablet build quality is amazing
it feels perfect and its made from solid materials
the os on the tablet which is windows 8 is also amazing
its fast and fluid and also simple and easy to use
its made with touch in mind
the web browser is extremely good its fast and pages load up quickly
and it supports flash which is a huge plus and which is something that is lacking on most android tablets and all ios tablets
battery life is very good and would easily get you through more than 10 hours of heavy use
you can download apps from the windows marketplace which has many high quality apps
thousands of apps are being added everyday
more than 2000 apps were added in less than 2 days
it does have more than 35,000 apps now and like I said it will keep on increasing
it has dual cameras and both of them take amazing photos and videos
it has deep social network integration(skype,facebook,twitter,linkedin⦠and so on)
you also get Microsoft office 2013 for free on it
and if you get the keyboard and attach it to it you'll have a laptop
overall the surface is an amazing tablet and you should get it
hope i helped :)
tell me if you decided to
and if you got any question or need any help you can email me at spieleranswers@outlook.com
