Q. Can a tablet pc store many files, and can be install with softwares? Like Microsoft, Photoshop, etc.? I'm really confuse about the difference between a tablet pc and a laptop. Some people say that the Apple tablet is just like an ipad. Are there any other tablet that can be use as a laptop?
Please let me know.
A. I've used an actual Tablet PC for several years and love it. It's not as slim or light as a media tablet (iPad, Xoom, Playbook, etc) but it is more versatile and can do everything that a normal laptop and media tablets can do. I do have an Android tablet for when I want to be really mobile but the Tablet PC is my go to mobile device when I need to more creation things like office productivity & Adobe Creative Suite. One of my favorite programs for the Tablet PC is Microsoft Office 2010 OneNote. Most Win 7 Tablet PCs have touch screens and active digitizers. I can input using touchscreen, touchpad, mouse, stylus, voice and just about anything that can connect wirelessly or USB. Check out the HP tm2t or the Lenovo x220t if you are interested in getting a Tablet PC.
What tablet is the best one to buy?
Q. I'm looking to buy a tablet, thinking of the IPad 2. What is the best one on the market? Any suggestions?
A. The best tablet computer depends on your needs...
At the low end, $249 can get you a Nook Color, which has an ereader orientation but is really a budget, 7-inch, camera-less, tablet running Android 2.2. Better than the color Nook is the new Kindle Fire ($199). If you can do without cameras, SD slots and 3G, the Kindle Fire offers great web browsing with its new (cloud-accelerated) Silk browser.
If Windows OS compatibility and a digitizer pen are important to you, consider the ASUS Eee Slate or HP Slate 500. The biggest differences between those are that the ASUS has a better display (12.1 inch AFFS 1280x800) than the HP (8.9 inch TFT 1024x600) but is larger, heavier and more expensive. Both the Eee Slate and the HP Slate 500 are expensive, however: Eee Slate is ~$1,200; HP Slate 500, ~$770. A more economical Windows 7 tablet is the Acer Tab W500, which runs about $500 and includes a keyboard and dock.
If high-end video recording is important to you, consider the LG G-Slate or BlackBerry Playbook, both of which can record at 1080p.
For overall value, the ASUS Eee Transformer (TF101) has surprisingly good specs for under $400: Android 3.1, 10.1 inch 1280x800 IPS (like iPad, but bigger and higher resolution) display, up to 9 hours of battery life (16 hours if optional dock added), optional ability to dock with keyboard, 1 GHz Tegra 250 ARM CPU with 1 GB RAM, good array of ports (mini HDMI, SD, micro SD), preloaded Polaris Office 3.0 for editing documents (.doc), spreadsheets (.xls) and presentation (.ppt) files. Note, though, no 3G (however people report success in tethering it to smart phones).
The iPad (0.34 inches) and Galaxy Tab 10.1 (0.336 inches) are the thinnest. The Galaxy Tab 10.1 (1.25 lbs) is the lightest of the big-screen (greater than 9 inch) tablets.
iPad 2 Advantages:
IPads have a higher degree of fit-and-finish than the competition. Like iPhones vs other smart phones, iPods vs other MP3 players, or Macs vs PC's, iPads are widely regarded as being more refined and polished than the competition. iPad also has a large and refined App Store (although Android Market is closing the gap).
iPad 2 Disadvantages:
1. No Flash.
2. No SD expansion; no HDMI port; no USB port.
3. ASUS Eee Transformer has a better display (10.1 inch, 1280x800, IPS vs 9.7 inch, 1024x768, IPS) for less money.
4. PlayBook and G-Slate have better rear camera video recording (1080p vs 720p).
5. PlayBook has much better front camera video recording (1080p vs VGA).
6. Almost all tablets have better camera resolution than iPad's lousy 0.7 MP.
Motorola Xoom is heavier and thicker than the iPad 2 and Galaxy Tab 10.1. The Xoom's advantage is that it has HDMI out and micro USB ports. It also has a 5MP rear camera compared to Tab's 3MP. The Xoom has a front webcam and a 720p rear video camera; the Tab has only the 720p rear video camera.
Finally, if cellular service is important, you may want to consider which tablet your favorite carrier supports:
None:Eee Slate, Slate 500, TouchPad, Thrive, Eee Pad TF101, Iconia Tab A500, Archos 101, Archos 70, NOOK Color, and Kindle Fire
AT&T:iPad 2 and Galaxy Tab
Sprint:PlayBook and Galaxy Tab
T-Mobile:G-Slate, Streak 7, and Galaxy Tab
Verizon:Galaxy Tab 10.1, iPad 2, Xoom, and Galaxy Tab
What makes a touch screen thing like iPod or iPad touchable?
Q. How does it work? I'm just really curious. I know it has something to do with the electronic static wave things in your fingers but I still don't get it. Can someone please explain?
A. Google it yourself..... seriously not hard.
The capacitive screen in apple's and most company's smartphones use a digitizer which has it's own electrostatic feild. Because humans condict electricity, the tocuhscreen can measur echanges in the electrostatic field and feed them back to the cpu.
The Resistive touch screen (found on the wii U, and many older touchscreen devices) uses a physical membrane which is physically pressed down onto a sensor to send the same message to the CPU.
