The latest IT technology to take the market by storm are tablet pcs. iPad initially monopolised the technology and the market, but Android tablet pcs and the blackberry Playbook soon appeared, heavily competing against the iPad in quality and prices.
Aside from the price, that is significantly lower, there are many more reasons why these two brands could infact prove a wiser buy.
When it comes to Android tablet pc, one of their many benefits is the existence of more USB ports, which allow users to transfer files from external devices with no compatibility issues. On top of this, the ipad usage is expected to fall in coming years as Android & Blackberry users are rising in numbers and more and more Android & Blacberry applications become available making it hard for iPhone to catch up, but also to maintain its market.
Also seeing as Apple no longer monopolises the technology, the cost of android tablet pcs and the blackberry playbook price are falling by the day. More and more clients move from ipad to other tablet pcs. The more their clientele rises, the cheaper they get. Today, you can even find them for under £200. Having said that, the future is always unpredictable and nobody can say whether or not Apple will retaliate with an improved product or an advanced technology.
Tiny in size & touchscreen, with no cables, no mouse, no keyboard; the reputation of Android tablet pcs and blackberry playbooks rises by the day. This is also thanks to their excellent functionality. Wherever you are you have access to a multitude of applications, as well as a camera, a connection to Wifi hotspots and all these within very easy reach – you just need to dig into your purse or pocket.
On top of this, tablet pcs can also be used as media players, as they support many multimedia formats: MKV, WMV, MPEG, AV. With a memory up to 32GB, you can store your movies and music in them, take them around your friends’ houses and connect them to their TVs through the HDMI port. Or, you can watch them directly, while you’re travelling or stuck in a waiting room, as they have impressive High Definition screens with high resolutions (up to 1080p) offering images of cinema quality.
Mike Abramsky, general manager of Canadian Bank RBC, predicts that till 2014, 40% of a market of approximately 185million tablet PCs will be dominated by Android tablet pc.
